Fodor's Expert Review Shima Kanko Hotel
731 Shinmei, Kashikojima, Mie-ken, Japan
Originally opened in the 1950s and then reopened in 2016 after a major renovation ahead of hosting the Ise-Shima G7 summit, the Shima Kanko is Ise-Shima’s premier Western-style luxury hotel, with a very refined look and feel throughout its two zones: the spacious Classic and the Bay Suites. The facilities include several highly rated French and Japanese restaurants, a tea ceremony room, a spa, and a gym where President Obama took his morning run during the summit.
PROS
- impeccable service
- meals can be included
- superb views of the bay, especially at sunset
CONS
- restaurants and bars priced at a premium
- can feel overly formal
- room interiors will be too conservative for some
