4/5
It was a spacious room with an ocean view and was very clean.Amenities such as towels are available for a fee, but I think it's reasonable since the rental price is 200 yen for bath towels, 100 yen for face towels, and 50 yen for toothbrushes.Shampoo and body soap amenities were provided at the hot spring.It was nice to have Lawson nearby as well.There is a private parking lot at the top of the hill where you can park for free.

I stayed at an inn called Mu that I had been interested in for a while! It's not even a guest house, it's an unusual inn that bills itself as a guest living room. Dormitories are also located in the same inn, giving an atmosphere that caters to inbound demand. However, I never saw a foreigner in the public bath.I went there during the swimming season, and as you would expect from an inn located at a beach, there were various facilities prepared before you entered the inn, and as expected, it was designed so that you could take a shower and then enter the building. I thought so.The living room is spacious and has enough space to relax while chatting, so I'm sure the dormitory group will be satisfied as well. We stayed in a room that was considered a condominium, but it had a layout that would satisfy even a long-term stay of two weeks, with two beds, a kitchen, a tatami room, a mysterious triangular room, and a main living room.Even if you look at it as an inn, the only downside is that the parking lot is far away, which makes you want to book again next time.If you order breakfast, it will be prepared for you, so you can take it back to your room and eat it.When the time comes, the guests return to their rooms one after another with their baskets of food. Ta.Although Shirahama is home to many different attractions, it was an inn that left a lasting impression on me.

About 10 minutes walk from Shirahama BeachThere is a Lawson right in front, so the location is good.If you are going by car, go past the narrow road in front of the hotel entrance and there is a free parking lot (approx. 10 spaces) in front of the hotel next door.The hotel next door is not open except during the busy season, so there are few street lights and it looks like a ruin, so going to the parking lot at night felt like a test of courage and took a bit of courage.The hotel is on a hill and is surrounded by trees, and there is no noticeable signboard when heading from the parking lot, so it was hard to find, so I passed in front of the hotel several times.The entrance is located at the top of several steep stairs. A renovated hotel with a modern and stylish lobbyAre all the areas other than the lobby and bathroom changing room before renovation? It had a retro feel to it in places.The front desk staff had very good customer service.The room was on the top floor facing the ocean.The view is pretty good, sunny ◎There are 2 Japanese-style rooms with a kitchen and living room.The futon is in the closetThe sheets were in a separate basket.No bath in the roomThere is a bath on the 1st floor and a shower room on the 2nd floor.The hot spring water is lukewarm and has a small sauna room.There are many butterfly flies in the first floor bath (I guess this can't be helped)The changing room floor was full of sand and I felt a little uncomfortable after taking a bath.(It would be helpful if you had a vacuum cleaner.)Overall, it was a repeat hotel.

Room rates are fixed, so the more people you stay with, the better the deal.There is also a shared kitchen, so you can have encounters unique to a guesthouse.Of course there is a kitchen inside the room.You can cook in your own roomThe bathroom smells like sulfur.The faucet in the washing room is a little rusty, perhaps because of its effectiveness, but if you don't mind it, I don't think it's a problem.

Amazing stay with the options of condos or hostel-like shared rooms with traditional Japanese futons and paper doors.Very clean and tidy place. Had the honour of being here when the Asian teams for beach flying discus were here for their competition. Made the place a lot more vibrant. There is the onsen which takes away the pressure of only 2 showers in the whole place. Oh and complimentary breakfast is a lot more palatable than many other places I know… and free flow coffee … amazing. Thanks for looking out for me Koni-san and Shin-san… and the others whom I didn’t get their names.
