Tired hotel that doesn’t cater well for international travellers. Rooms were not serviced during the stay and furnishings were very worn. Shimoda itself was very disappointing. We visited in early July and were looking forward to walking through Perry Road’s cafe’s and Jazz bars. However, it was like visiting a ghost town, with nothing open. Really disappointing. It’s a long way off the beaten track to visit here, but I would not recommend it unless you just want to come and surf at one of the beach locations several miles from Shimoda itself.
