space
2F
The second floor exposes the structural frame. A 4.5-meter ceiling opens the space upward; below, the hinoki bath flows unpartitioned, seamless within the whole. The shower unit glows softly like a lantern in the room.
3F
Finished in lithin coating and FRP—materials borrowed from exterior walls and ship hulls—the third floor has a quiet, durable character. Semi-transparent FRP fittings and a table give the space a gentle, shifting quality.

“shimameshi” celebrates seasonal ingredients from Shodoshima and the wider Seto Inland Sea. Chefs deeply versed in the flavors of the Seto Inland Sea prepare freshly caught fish from trusted local fishermen and sun-ripened vegetables, transforming them into dishes that let every ingredient shine.
“Shodoshima Onsen Shio-no-Yu” is the first natural hot spring to emerge on Shodoshima. A chloride spring evocative of the island’s heritage of salt production, it has long been embraced by local residents. Rich in sodium and magnesium, the waters condition the skin and warm the body to its core. The löyly sauna and cold plunge deepen the experience, freeing both body and mind.
Meeting Room
The second-floor meeting room is available for a range of uses—trip planning, gatherings, small exhibitions, and more. For availability and rates, please get in touch.
Courtyard
An open space welcoming everyone. Rest here while waiting for the ferry, take a walk, or spend your time freely as you like.
Fire Pit
A fire pit made from stones found on Shodoshima sits in one corner of the courtyard. If you would like to enjoy a fire, please ask a member of staff.
Parking
The parking area behind the building is available to guests of shimahaku, shimameshi, and shimayu. Please follow the signs and markings on the ground.
