Shima Kanko Hotel The Classic

Shima Kanko Hotel The Classic is a luxurious hotel situated within the boundaries of Ise-Shima National Park, a beautiful and historic region in Japan known for its stunning natural scenery and rich cultural heritage. Specifically, the hotel is located near Ago Bay, which is part of the Rias coast, a 150-kilometer stretch of coastline along the Pacific Ocean in Mie Prefecture that is renowned worldwide for its unique landscape. The Rias coast is characterized by long, narrow valleys carved out by ancient rivers and flooded with seawater during high tide, creating picturesque bays and scenic vistas. In addition to its breathtaking natural surroundings, Shima Kanko Hotel The Classic also boasts an impressive history as a host venue for the G7 Ise-Shima Summit 2016. This significant event brought together leaders from seven of the world's major economies, including the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom, to discuss pressing global issues such as economic growth, climate change, and international security. The hotel was renovated in 2016 in preparation for this high-profile event, which was attended by dignitaries from around the world. The renovation aimed to upgrade the hotel's facilities and services to meet the demands of hosting such a prestigious gathering while also preserving its unique character and charm. Today, Shima Kanko Hotel The Classic continues to offer exceptional hospitality and amenities to its guests, including comfortable rooms with modern conveniences, fine dining options, and a range of activities and excursions that allow visitors to fully experience the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Ise-Shima region.
