Shima Onsen Kashiwaya Ryokan

Perfect little ryokan, small number of rooms which makes the service more personal and warm. Both dinner and breakfast were exceptional. Three wonderful private onsens that did not require paying extra. Highly recommended ryokan to stay in Shima Onsen!

Nothing.

From start to finish, the staff took great care of us—friendly, attentive, and always helpful. The room was spacious enough and offered beautiful river views. Both dinner and breakfast were absolutely amazing. The three private open-air onsens were a truly special experience.

This was one of the most special stays on our trip. The traditional rooms were lovely and the food was really good. The highlight was the private onsen, and snow in the morning making the experience even more magical. I would absolutely return.

This is such a beautiful Ryokan with amazing staff who you can tell really care about Kashiwaya. It was our first Ryokan experience and could not be faulted. The meals were some of the best we've ever had (the vegan option which was exquisite) and it felt home!y and warm being there from the foyer to the rooms to the dining. We loved sitting on the balcony enjoying some staff picked sake as it started snowing while we wore our yukatas! And again being in the private onsens (our first time!) as it started snowing...it was something we will not forget.We'll be back next time we're in Japan and were sad to leave. Thanks to all the staff there for a beautiful and meaningful experience.

Everything was perfect!

Great hospitality attitude brought by the local staffs.

This was such a cool location and the town of Shima-Onsen is really neat. I loved the private onsens at the Ryokan and we visited them 3 times during our one night stay. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming! The supper and breakfast were wonderful and it was great to try many dishes for both. I would definitely recommend and stay here again!
