Shimoda Tokyu Hotel

Nice Onzen available and also very nice breakfast

I enjoyed my stay at Shimoda Tokyu for getting some dives in with Mikomoto Hammers. The staff are very professional, respectful, and helpful. From 9:20 to 17:45, there is a free shuttle bus to and from Shimoda station. If you are staying for diving in the area, some things you should know: there are no 24 hours Family Mart or 7-11 within walking distance. Walking to the station area will take you 30 mins. Taxi app GO says there is no available car in the area. You will need the hotel staff to phone a local taxi for you out of free shuttle bus hours. The restaurant at the hotel is upscale and expensive and it's your only option if you don't want to taxi into town. Mikomoto Hammers can pick you up at Shimoda Tokyu the morning of the dive. Just let them know. Breakfast buffet is fantastic. The staff made this hotel stay enjoyable. The room is quite small. I felt like I was still in Tokyo with very little space for my carry-on size luggage. If I brought a bigger check-in bag, I would not have enough space to lay if open and also walk freely. Maybe the room I got was small.

So good
