Shima Kanko Hotel The Bay Suites curves along a wooded shore within Ise-Shima National Park, overlooking the inlets and islands of Ago Bay. Every accommodation is a suite, with separate living space and calm interiors that place the water or forest at the centre of the room. La Mer serves refined seafood-led cuisine using ingredients from the surrounding region, while the spa, outdoor pool and landscaped grounds extend the sense of seclusion. The hotel’s long association with Japanese hospitality is expressed through attentive detail rather than overt ceremony, with Ise Grand Shrine and the pearl-farming coast forming natural excursions from the bay.
