Shimanto-no-yado Iyashi-no-sato

Top choice in Shikoku


Describing itself as a 'resort-type ecology hotel', this lovely spot out on a hill near Shimoda Port at the mouth of Shimanto-gawa features beautiful, individually designed rooms, superb meals and an onsen that is also open to nonguests (¥680). Iyashi-no-sato is well worth the price; it's best if you have your own wheels to get here.
