Hotel Mesra Haiwan Peliharaan di Shima

My 11 day journey in Japan then We stayed a night in this hotel. This is the largest room hotel in stayed during my entire trip. Room was big and view was nice. Having hot spring as well. Breakfast was big option to choose Will stay here again in mu next visit

Stay for one night to visit the Shima Spain Village. The location is a little bit far from the main station. However, the hotel have shuttle bus service and we could arrive the destination smoothly. The room is clean, the free hot spring (onsen) is good, the buffet-style breakfast is not bad, and the staff is very friendly. Overall, it's a nice stay.

This was definitely my best experience at a hotel in Japan. Hotel staff were very courteous and attentive. We were treated like VIPs throughout the stay. Our room was superb, with a great view of the bay. The bed and pillows were very comfortable (where can we buy those pillows?). The room was very quiet. In many hotels, you will often hear some buzzing noise of AC (?), but not in this hotel. We particularly enjoyed our time in the guest lounge with a reading room—looking over Ago Bay at sunset and enjoying small but exquisite hors d'oeuvres (the quiche was a killer!). For non-readers, this is a romantic place to look into your lover’s eyes. I enjoyed reading, relaxing next to my husband, who was sipping wine. I couldn’t finish “Karei-naru Ichizoku” so we will come back to finish the book. It would be better if the reading room had a better selection of books both in Japanese and in English--for example, some novels set in ocean resort hotels (I can recommend some), and reading lamps (for after sunset). Our stay concluded with an amazing breakfast. Although it was called “American breakfast,” it came with soup (which tasted great) and a salad (which tasted great, too, and very very fresh—cucumbers tasted amazingly juicy). I have never had a better egg benedict! The hollandaise sauce is flavored with shrimp, elevating the egg benedict to a real French dish. Overall, this is the best place to come when you want to be pampered. We will definitely stay at this hotel again.

今はヤマハさんの経営ではありませんが、子供の頃、「合歓の郷」や「はいむるぶし」「鳥羽国際ホテル」さんなど、その規模もセンスも他とは違う独自の雰囲気を持った、ヤマハさんのリゾートが大好きで！大変楽しく思い出深く、子供時代の“幸せ”を象徴するような場所です。 他のリゾートとは違って施設内だけで十分に楽しめて、音楽に携わる会社だからでしょうか、施設もホテルのロゴマークも特別なセンスがあって… 子供の頃、川上源一さんの提唱されたエピキュリアン料理でしょうか、ジビエ料理や当時は珍しい食材もバイキング形式の食事も、こちらで初めて経験したものが多いです！ 今経営されてる三井不動産さんも、ヤマハの川上源一さんの精神を引き継がれてるとのことで…今はバブル期ほどの活気や混雑はありませんが…今も特別な雰囲気を感じ、また昔とは違う落ち着いた魅力も感じます。また是非お伺いしたいです！ 中島みゆきさんの「ピアニシモ」という曲は、ヤマハ社長の川上源一さんがモデルなのだそうです。
