Hoshi Meguri

Right person at the right place! Super japanese ambiance. Fantastic traditional onsen 10 mn walking. Very quiet and try at least once dinner at the Riokan. Breakfast is also very good. Futon super comfy. Staff is delightful, good english and helpful Lazy small town but shimoda is only one train station away. 1 train per hour...or bus.

Wonderful family hotel ryokan, good facilities, fantastic hosts, very good English speakers, very friendly, helpful and accommodating, three private beautiful onsen, one of them outside, excellent breakfast, highly recommended.

The host was lovely, warm and responsive to communication. The food (dinner + breakfast) was fantastic, and the hotel was very homey. There is on site parking.

The road leading to the hotel is narrow if you are driving a larger car.

The hosts were incredibly kind, hospitable and also able to communicate in fluent English. The property has a quiet and tranquil ambience, so it is very cosy. The rooms are very well maintained, clean and spacious. The pitcher of tea in the fridge was a nice welcoming gift especially in the heat of summer and best of all, the tea was replenishable too. The 3 private onsens are great for relaxing after a long day out and I slept like a log afterwards on extremely comfortable futon bed which had been discreetly set up by our hosts. My family made our booking at the very last minute and we weren’t able to respond promptly to the host’s message pertaining to my wishful query about availability of dinner. Despite this messaging breakdown on my part and even though they did not cater for dinner service during the summer, the hosts still graciously went ahead and prepared dinner just in case we should want to dine-in. We truly enjoyed this delicious dinner of homemade chicken curry rice served with seasonal local vegetables, fresh juicy pears and the home brewed umeshu. Next morning, the refined and lavish breakfast was just super amazing. Compliments to the chef! I'll wish to stay here again, solely to savor this ryokan's excellent meals. Hoshi Meguri ryokan stay was the highlight of my family's Japan holiday this time. Thanks to Yurie and family.

Hoshi Meguri is an wonderful traditional hostel. The room was beautiful and spacious. The futon were extremely comfortable, even for a Westerner ! And the three private onsens are amazing to unwind Yurie & her husband were amazing hosts, kind, discreet yet really friendly. They prepared delicious and refined meals, brought up fresh ice tea regularly and kept my room always tidy. They were of good advice on what to do around. They offered a couple times to drive me to the train station and were of great help when a typhoon hit and I had to change all my plans. It’s definitely one of my best stays of all my travels in Japan. I hope to come back one day if I travel around Shimoda again!

Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, exceptional service. Food and onsen were amazing too. Located in an area that really gets the feeling of local culture.

We loved everything about our stay here! The hosts are extremely nice and very helpful with recommendations etc. It was so easy for us to communicate as foreigners too as they're fluent in English as well! They accommodated our late arrival, free parking and us not eating meat and prepared a giant delicious feast for dinner the next day. The building also has 3 private Onsens, which were really comfortable. Honestly, peak Ryokan experience, we're so glad we stayed here, cannot recommend this place enough!

The hosts were incredible. They were very polite and took care of everything. Beautiful location, great views, nice, calm and peaceful.

norhing to say here.
