Hotel with Star-Filled Skies and Sweeping Shimanto Views
"Hotel Seira Shimanto" stands in the mountains of Shimanto City, with the Shimanto-gawa River flowing before it. In the early morning, a dreamlike mist wraps around the river, while at night, shining stars spread across the sky. Surrounded by mountain ridgelines, the hotel takes pride in a natural setting that feels unique to this location. Dinner focuses on the flavors of Shimanto and features freshly prepared kaiseki cuisine. Ingredients nurtured by the Shimanto-gawa River, including wild ayu, are featured alongside seasonal blessings from nature. Nearby facilities, such as an astronomical observatory and canoe area, add opportunities for activities unique to a mountain setting.

Guest Room

"Special Room" with Exclusive Views of Untouched Nature

Renewed in 2018, the "Special Room" is located in the corner with the finest views, overlooking the gently flowing Shimanto-gawa River and the surrounding mountains. Furnished with two beds, the room has a chic monochrome atmosphere and is well-suited to couples and married couples.

Spacious Comfort in the "Deluxe Twin"

Located on the third floor along the river, this guest room features views of the Shimanto-gawa River through large picture windows. The spacious, bright interior has two wooden-frame beds and accommodates up to four guests with an extra bed.

Wide Selection of Japanese Rooms with a Tranquil Atmosphere

The "Japanese-Style Room" is available in four sizes from 6 to 15 tatami mats, while the "Japanese-Western Room" consists of a Western-style twin room and a 6-tatami Japanese-style room. The purely Japanese atmosphere creates a comfortable setting, with space to stretch out on tatami and unwind after travel. A veranda that brings a full sense of nature is also provided.

Restaurant&bar

Kaiseki Showcasing Shimanto's Mountain and Sea Bounty

Dinner is served in a restaurant overlooking the Shimanto-gawa River below, featuring ingredients from the river to highlight seasonal flavors. The "Shimanto Kaiseki" served with the standard plan includes dishes such as salt-grilled wild ayu.

Savor Locally Raised Japanese Black Wagyu

The "Shimanto Beef Kaiseki" centers on Shimanto Beef, which won the highest award at the 2009 JA Kochi Beef Carcass Competition. This Japanese Black beef, raised along the Shimanto-gawa River basin in a stress-free environment, has a distinctive flavor and a light sweetness.

Hot Springs Overlooking the Nature of the Shimanto River

Ayu, also called fragrant fish, is prized not only for its flavor but also for the aroma that spreads the moment it is tasted. Tenaga shrimp, a specialty of the Shimanto-gawa River, is served as beautifully colored fried shrimp. The shells are edible as well, making it well suited as a snack with drinks.
