Luxury Hotels & Ryokan

Shimayado Mari
島宿 真里

PHOTO / Booking.com

Located in the NOMA (苗羽) area of Shodoshima’s soy sauce warehouse street townscape. “Shimayado Mari” is a limited edition inn for 7 couples per day with a high rating of “great hospitality”. It’s hard to get a reservation even for Japanese people.

The rooms and food are, of course, excellent, but what I want to focus on is the owner’s desire to run a business that “cares about the guests, the growers and the workers“. If you are going to Shodoshima, you must check it out!
