The Shimoda Prince Hotel Experience

Alarm clock unnecessary!?
Let the sun wake you up.

It’s recommended to leave the curtains open when you go to sleep. The following morning, the warmth of the sun will wake you up gently. Whether it’s the sunrise over the horizon or the morning sun rising from behind Izu Oshima Island, each season promises a unique experience.

Enjoy your Morning Coffee
with a View of the Sea

Before dawn, there’s a magical moment when the color gradient of the sky looks absolutely stunning. This phenomenon occurs just once a day. So, brew a cup of coffee from freshly ground beans while waiting for that moment on your room’s balcony. Gaze at the gradually changing scenery as you sip on quality coffee by the seaside, a truly unique and elegant experience.

White sandy beach and crystal clear seawater,
Right at your doorstep!

Chosen as one of the top 100 beach destinations in Japan and boasting extra-clear water, the Shirahama Chuo Beach is just a stone’s throw away from the Hotel. What’s more, this hidden gem that feels like a private beach can be reached in a mere 1-minute walk via a guest-exclusive pathway. The white sandy beach also has rocky outcrops and during low tide, you can find adorable sea creatures left behind in tidal pools.

At the Main Dining Room “Kamome,” you can savor creative fusions of Japanese and Western cuisine or hotpot dishes inspired by fisherman cuisine. Mainly serving fresh seafood from the local fish market, you can also enjoy sushi and sashimi at this sushi restaurant. Delight in the flavors of Izu.

Sea bathing(Kaiyouyoku) is about harnessing the sea’s blessings to stay healthy.
Embrace the harmony of sea breezes and the soothing sound of the rolling waves. Rejuvenate your body and mind with open-air relaxation, beach strolls, and swimming with the waves.

A 5-minute walk from the Hotel, you’ll discover Shirahama Shrine, the oldest shrine in Izu which venerates Ikonahime no Mikoto (Mishima Daimyojin’s consort). The mythology passed down in the shrine is closely tied to the volcanic activity in Izu. Legends say that Mishima Daimyojin created ten islands over a week (now known as the Izu Islands, or the Seven Islands of Izu) when he resided here. The torii gate facing the sea is a symbol of the connection between the Izu Islands and the Izu Peninsula. During the grand autumn festival, the “Fire Festival” is held and seven bonfires are set alight in dedication to the deities of the Seven Islands of Izu, signaling the commencement of Mishima Daimyojin’s festival to his consort and children.

On the way to the Shimoda city district, you will encounter an unusual urban scenery—the Perry Road. This was the route Admiral Matthew Perry marched along in 1857 to negotiate the Treaty of Shimoda between Japan and the US.
In the vicinity of Perry Road, the southern part of the Izu Peninsula features stylish shops nestled in buildings constructed using soft stones from layers of volcanic ash and pumice from submarine volcanoes.
