JP Dec 2015 Shima onsen resort

Nemu Hotel and Resort

This was our second stay and this time we stayed for 2 nights. We like the spacious twin room with 47 sqm. On the first night we had traditional Japanese Kaiseki dinner, whereas we picked an Italian dinner course with nice wine pairing on the last evening. The staffs recognized us and we really had some good chats.

The resort has some outdoor sport facilities like golf, tennis etc. though we only joined the morning yoga session once.
