forumWhat families say

Rakuten Travel rating 4.33 out of 5 (1,087 reviews). Guests praise the view of the Seto Inland Sea islands from the view bath, and say the Family Lodge's mezzanine level delighted their children. Many reviews rate the dinner highly for both variety and quantity, while some note that winged ants tend to gather at the lodge when the lights are on at night, so care is needed to keep them out of the room.

Overview

Kokuminshukusha Shodoshima stands on a rise looking out over the Seto Inland Sea. Certified as one of Japan's Hundred Best Sunset Inns, the inn takes pride in its sunsets and its local fish dishes. Rooms include special rooms, Western-style rooms and Japanese-style tatami rooms, plus a whole-house Family Lodge that has its own kitchen and sleeps up to 6. For dinner, children can have a kids' steak set or a kids' set meal, and accommodation plans include child rates.

Rooms

The main building has four room types. The special Deluxe Room is a twin of 50 sq m with a bathroom and toilet for 2 guests, furnished with two semi-double beds and one single bed and reached by stairs, and it looks out over the Seto Inland Sea. The Western-style triple rooms are 28 sq m with a toilet for 1-3 guests, furnished with three single beds; all have ocean views, and because they are on the first floor and reached by a ramp, no stairs are involved. There are also Japanese-style tatami rooms of 8 mats with a toilet for 1-4 guests and of 6 mats with a toilet for 1-3 guests. The main building has no elevator, so the second-floor tatami rooms are reached by stairs; if you let the inn know that stairs are difficult for you, they will try to assign you a room on the first floor. Across the parking area, the Furusato-so annex has 10-mat Japanese-style tatami rooms with a toilet for 1-5 guests, on either the sea side or the mountain side, with flat flooring all the way from the parking area to the entrance, the rooms and the lobby. For longer stays and self-catering, there is also the Family Lodge, a log-house-style rental villa with the sea spread out in front of it: a 50 sq m Japanese-Western room with a bathroom and toilet, a 2LDK layout with a kitchen (two rooms plus a combined living-dining-kitchen area), for 1-6 guests, comprising a 6-mat tatami room, a twin bedroom and an 8-mat Western-style room. Futon bedding for 4 can be laid out in the 6-mat tatami room.

Dining

Dinner is served in the restaurant from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and breakfast from 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Both dinner and breakfast must be reserved by the day before. For dinner, elementary school children are served a kids' steak set and children who have not yet started elementary school are served a kids' set meal; for breakfast, both age groups receive the same children's set. If you have a food allergy, contact the inn in advance and they will accommodate it as far as possible, though they may not be able to accommodate simple dislikes. Guests staying in the Furusato-so annex also dine in the main building restaurant, about a minute's walk away in the separate building.

Baths

The communal bath is Bijin no Yu, a view bath with a sweeping outlook over the Seto Inland Sea; there is no open-air bath. Bathing hours are 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Family-friendly features

Child rates are set for the rooms and accommodation plans. The Western-style rooms are on the first floor and can be reached from the entrance by ramp, so a stroller can be used without any stairs. The Family Lodge rental villa sleeps up to 6, not counting children who are co-sleeping.

The inn is about 5 minutes by car from Ikeda Port, about 15 minutes from Tonosho Port, about 25 minutes from Sakate Port and about 40 minutes from Fukuda Port.
