It's a good guesthouse in terms of being close to Shirahama, but the guest rooms are separate, the baths are a long way away, and they're on the second floor of the main building. I can't take a bath easily. The reception area is not large, so it can be boring if you have to wait.

As the name of the inn suggests, it is located on a hill with a nice view. Although it is a guest house, it has three floors and can accommodate both groups and individual guests. Meals ◎→Lodging is cheap, but the food was quite good. The breakfast had a large selection of items, including New Year's dishes, pickled plums, boiled fish, boiled shrimp, grilled seaweed, red and white sticky soup, and the seasoning was good. Hot spring → ◎, Kanro-no-yu, you can adjust the temperature yourself with the hot spring water flowing directly from the source. The sulfur spring has benefits such as relieving fatigue, and the good news is that you can drink it. Room → ○, 6 tatami mats + 2 tatami mats, air conditioner, kotatsu included. It may be a little difficult to use for people who are used to hotels, but it is not a problem for people who use Japanese-style rooms or guesthouses. I think younger people feel more out of their daily lives because they don't use Japanese-style rooms. Day-trip hot spring facilities, restaurants, and convenience stores are within walking distance, and the mild climate makes it a good place for hot spring treatments. The wind was a little strong. It was also nice that it was family run and felt like home. A massage facility (for women, but also for men) is nearby.

I stayed here when I was in Shirahama and there were rooms available.If there were rooms available, I was told that I could choose a resort condominium plan for an additional fee, but the husband and wife of the guest house were kind and I had no problems.The toilet is a little old, so that's the only thing that bothers me.The bathhouse that draws hot spring water can accommodate about 3 people at a time, and the hot spring water can flow as you like, so you can fully soak in the thick hot spring water. It's great because it warms you up.It's not far from Shirarahama, and other than the slight slope, it's in a good location.Beisia is also nearby, so it might be a good place to stay for a few days.It was a very nice inn, except that the stairs going down from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor were a little sloped, which made me feel uneasy.

This inn is a wonderful inn that gave me a turning point in my life. I spent a wonderful night here with my girlfriend 19 years ago. The hot springs were very pleasant and seemed to stick to my skin, keeping it moist and smooth for a long time. She also liked it very much and took bath many times in one night. The food was also delicious. A few months later, we started talking about marrying her. She is now my wife. I also have a son who will be 18 this year. Thank you very much.

2023.7 AccommodationI chose this hotel because I could stay there for a relatively reasonable price during the high season, and because it had a hot spring bath that was rare among hotels in Shirahama. The location is about 3 minutes walk from Shirarahama Beach.We had dinner at a restaurant on the 2nd floor of Shirahama Fisherman's Wharf, which was a little far away.The ``pirate steamed'', which is only available to guests, was very good as we had a lot of seafood and vegetables!As for the hot springs that flow straight from the source, it's a bit small with only one indoor bath, but there are almost no time restrictions (recommended until 11pm), and I was able to drink the hot springs, so I was very satisfied! 😄The toilet and bath are shared only, but personally I liked the room as it was clean and free of unnecessary things.
