What kind of resort hotel is Shima Kanko Hotel The Classic?
This is a luxury resort hotel with an amazing view and a long history in the ise-shima national park. If you are looking for a top-notch hotel in Mie prefecture, it would be one of the best. The traditional Japanese beauty of the sea and islands will be an unforgettable memory. Overall, facilities tend to be a bit outdated, but well-maintained. This is like a museum.
Also, the hotel is one of the famous gromet hotels. If you love french food, you should try it.
On the other hand, if your main purpose is to enjoy hot springs, this is not. The hotel has no onsen.
This is great for couples, families, or groups.

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.
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 visit Ise Grand Shrine from the hotel, a shuttle service is available at JPY1,000 per adult, JPY500 per child.
Then if you plan to visit Ise Grand Shrine and Toba after check-out, a luggage delivery service is available at an additional charge. The staff arranges it if you request.
Rooms I would recommend?
Most of the rooms tend to be cramped. You should book a spacious room on a high floor as much as possible. Alternatively, since you are visiting all the way to Mie Prefecture, it’s a good idea to stay at the sister inn, Shima Kanko Hotel The Bay Suites that’s a grade above. All the rooms are suites and very spacious. Overall, the price range is much higher than Shima Kanko Hotel The Classic, though.
How about the club lounge?
If you stay here, you can access the lounge in the hotel on 2F and the sister inn on 5F. You can enjoy complimentary sweets, such as macaroons, cookies, fruit cakes, chocolates, jellies, marmalade, 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. Don’t forget to enjoy it with champagne. JFYI, Teatime 7:00-13:00, Afternoon tea 14:00-17:00, 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.
How about toiletries & in-room amenities?
All of the amenities are taken care of including enough toiletries, pajamas, a coffee machine, and tea bag, etc. There are Mikimoto skincare products in the bathroom. Room service is available from 7:00-10:00, 18:00-21:00. Free Wi-Fi was available. There is no convenience store around here. You may want to buy your necessities before coming here.
How about In-house Facilities?
There is a gym, swimming pool, spa shop, souvenir shop, and tea house, etc. 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.
Also, there is an amazing garden on the roof. We fully enjoyed taking a walk in the garden while viewing a beautiful ocean. Ago Bay is different depending on the season and time of day, so no matter how many times you see it, you’ll never get tired of it.
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 take 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 with a nice view. 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.
