What kind of resort hotel is Shima Kanko Hotel Bay Suite?
The property is a luxury boutique resort hotel in the ise-shima national park. This is a hotel for the Japanese royal family. Just being in this hotel will make you feel elegant. If you stay here, you wouldn’t need to go out until check-out time because there are a lot of great facilities here. You can get much of an immersive traditional ocean view experience as you expect. Also, the resort is one of the best gourmet hotels in JAPAN. If you are a foodie, you must be so happy. On the other hand, if you love hot springs, this is not. There is no onsen on-site.

Is the location easy to access?
Yes, it would be easy. It takes 120min by express train from Kintetsu Nagoya Station to Kashikojima Station. *Not from JR Nagoya Station. Please do not make a mistake. Then it takes 5min on foot from Kashikojima Station to the property. Alternatively, a free shuttle service is available. You need to book it in advance.
If you visit Ise-Shima from Osaka, Kyoto, or Kobe, please feel free to contact me at the below. I will tell you how to get there.
Then if you plan to visit Ise Grand Shrine from the hotel, a shuttle service is available at JPY1,000 per adult, JPY500 per child.
Also, if you plan to visit Ise Grand Shrine and Toba after check-out, a luggage delivery service is available at an additional charge.
Where is the best accommodation for anniversaries?
If you are looking for a good place for a special occasion, the property would be one of the best in Mie. The staff arranges flowers and cakes to celebrate an anniversary at additional charges if you request in advance.

Rooms I would recommend?
All rooms are very spacious and on a nice day, the views from the wide windows are amazing. If you want to see a breathtaking view while chilling out in your room, you should stay on a high floor. On the other hand, I wouldn’t recommend staying on 1F and 2F. It seems that the views wouldn’t be special if compared to other floors. If you want to stay in a room on a higher floor, you may want to book it as early as possible.
How about the club lounge?
If you stay here, you can access the lounges in the hotel on 5F and the sister inn, Shima Kanko Hotel The Classic on 2F. The menu is the same for both. You can enjoy complimentary sweets, such as macaroons, cookies, fruit cakes, chocolates, jellies, marmalade, camembert cheese, etc. Also, complimentary drinks such as wine, champagne, beer, whiskey, Japanese sake, shochu, fresh juice, coffee, tea, etc. are available. On top of that, the view of the sunset from the lounges is beyond words. The lounges are absolutely amazing, so take your time. JFYI, Teatime 7:00-17:00, Cocktail time 17:30-19:30, Nighttime 20:00-22:00
Is this child-friendly?
Yes, if you bring small children, you should inform the staff in advance as they arrange amenities, meals, baby cots, etc. *One child up to elementary school age per adult will be free of charge for co-sleep.
Then if you stay here with small children, you wouldn’t be able to use the french restaurant. *A minimum age requirement of 7 applies. But the teppanyaki restaurant is available. Alternatively, room service is available. Also, the french restaurant in the sister inn is available.
How about toiletries & in-room amenities?
All of the amenities are taken care of including enough toiletries, pajamas, bathrobes, a coffee machine, and tea bag, etc. There are CLARINS skincare products in the bathroom. There are 3 kinds of pillows which you can choose from. A CD and Blu-Ray players were placed in our room. Room service is available from 7:00-10:00, 18:00-21:00. There is no convenience store around here. You may want to buy your necessities before coming here. PS. Free wifi was not available when we stayed in 2020. Unluckily, it was under construction.
How about In-house Facilities?
There is a gym, swimming pool, communal baths, souvenir shop, tea house, and spa salon. You may want to bring your own shoes, sportswear, swimming wear, etc. if you use the gym and the pool. The swimming pool is open during the summer season only. Then the spa using a French skincare brand “Clarins” is open between 14:30 and 21:30. You need to make an appointment in advance if you want to receive it.

*Please note that if you have tattoos, you may not be permitted to use the communal bathing area.
Then, there is an amazing garden on the roof. We fully enjoyed taking a walk in the garden while viewing a beautiful ocean. Ago Bay, created by islands and peninsulas of various shapes is surprisingly wonderful. It hasn’t changed since ancient times.
Then there are many activities available for a fee. For example, yoga, cycling tours, stargazing, cruising, etc. The activities vary depending on the season, so please ask the staff for details.
Then this is a universal design. Wheelchairs are available for borrowing. If you bring someone with weak legs, you should inform the staff in advance as they arrange a room near the lifts.

How about meals?
There are french, teppanyaki, Japanese restaurants, and cafe&wine bar on-site. If you stay here, I would recommend french food. The French cuisine is sophisticated and uses a lot of local seafood. Absolutely this is top-notch. *Please note that inform the staff when you book a room with meals if you have any food allergies. They probably wouldn’t be able to prepare alternative food if you request it on that day.
Then, as far as I know, there is no restaurant near the property. Most of the local papa-mama shops are closing early. You may want to book a room with meals unless you drive a car yourself.
