My ageing mother had difficulty moving about as the place is narrow and the furnitures are low, so it was inconvenient for her, especially after a day of travelling. The shower hot and cold valves are unpredictable and it takes a few minutes in order to get the temperature right. By then the bathroom walls would be all wet. The bathroom door is also translucent, so you don't actually get the standard privacy you would normally get with bathroom doors. The water valves for the hot and cold tap are difficult to turn, sometimes it gets stuck and we can't turn it off completely. The bathroom is small and narrow. The place looks nice but it isn't optimized function-wise. I.e. bedside stand is small, no charging port.Location is great due to it's close proximity to the station, and there are vending machines for warm food and drinks inside the station's waiting room that is open for 24 hours. Overall it's an okay place to not have to spend the night out in the cold. If you're looking to experience traditional and authentic Japanese feel, this place is pretty good though as it's very traditional and old school and it's quite nostalgic.

We stayed here for a night in May this year. The owner was really nice and allowed us to put our luggage there for couple nights during our hike.The Japanese style bathtub was broken, but we just needed to use the one next to it.This place is right next to Shirahama Station too!
