    It was such a nice and relaxing place to be. I stayed there during tsunami warning so I spent almost my whole two days there. The Onsen near the guesthouse is marvellous, and we did a sauna session at one evening as well. We've had dinner...

    The managers of the guesthouse were fantastic. There aren't any restaurants around the place without going near the principal place of Shimoda, but they proposed dinner. The night I was there we ate the fish that the man of the couple had fished...

Welcome to Shimoda House – A Hidden Retreat for Adults Shimoda House is a small, cozy guesthouse created by renovating a unique building that once served as a tofu factory on the ground floor, with the upper floors used as a residence. Rather than feeling like a hotel, it offers the warmth and comfort of returning to a countryside home. It’s the perfect place to unwind and slow down. Outside, you’ll find our newly added sauna and BBQ space — perfect for relaxing and enjoying the natural surroundings. Want to know more? Search for Shimoda House online and visit our website to read the full story of how this special place came to life 🎵
About the Owner I’m a big fan of fishing, and I also enjoy surfing, snowboarding, and have experience as a river rafting guide. Before starting this guesthouse, I worked in the R&D department of an automotive company for 18 years — then I decided to follow my heart and take a new path. I love meeting new people and creating connections. Looking forward to welcoming you!
There’s a day-use hot spring facility within walking distance — home to Japan’s largest all-hinoki (cypress) bath. And if you’re heading to the beach, beautiful swimming spots are less than 10 minutes away by car.
