Kashiko Island, Shima hotel rooms at the Independent

"Outdated place but we used 4 twin beds room with living room for my family of 3 adults so it was nice. The bathroom has kind a high step to enter, that I hit my toes one time. Nice view! Enjoyed the sun rise from ocean. Almost could see the wedded rocks. "

"lounge are was very good i would definetly come back"

"The kaiseki dinner at the Japanese restaurant was excellent. Room was spacious and comfortable. "

"Friendly staff and the best breakfast"

"Everything was good. Free tea and coffee was nice. Room was typical Japan room. Close to station and lots of restaurants"

"As this hotel is a 20-minute walk from the train station, there are few restaurants/cafes nearby but there is a FamilyMart across the street. The hotel is an old budget hotel charging high rates since it is in Ise - so not a good value. The furniture in the rooms is old and visibly damaged, while the mens onsen spigot is rotting wood. Check-in is at 4pm unlike other hotels at 3pm. I would rather sleep on the floor than the mattress, which is small for a double and lumpy with springs."

"Clean, great breakfast, shuttle"

"dated but clean hotel. major issue was the futon bed (couldn't get a western room) - had sore back by the 4th night"

"the little bit of sea view from the room is a nice surprise."
