TOMI in Shimoda

Friendly owner and super center location.

Shower room was so hot and no A/C in the living room.

The host was easy going. Location close to train station.

The place is located very close to the station. About a 6 minute walk, Even with suitcases. The place was about what I expected. It was just off the main street, Colorful painted sign, kind of reminded me of a beach shack. Very laid back, casual place, but has everything you need for hitting the beaches, Friendly guy recieved us. There were no storage lockers, but there was enough space to keep things. The main room with bunk beds had privacy curtains. It was easy to get enough of a good sleep because you could block out the light. The living room was smoker friendly. There was a cat on the premisis as well. Had a Japanese breakfast with fish, rice, natto, pickles and it was very reasonably priced! There were other snacks and drinks in the bar at night as well. Good atmosphere to meet other fellow travelers.

Place was a bit messy and thrown together. Very old building and you had to bring your shoes upstairs with you in a plastic bag while managing your other belongings. Wouldnt be good for people with difficulty managing steep stairs or who have allergies to cigarette smoke or cats.

Bed, a/c, shower room, and restroom were all satisfying.
