The rooms are old, but the staff are very friendly.It was nice to be able to go directly to Shirahama Beach from the hotel and enjoy a walk on the quiet beach.There are convenience stores and supermarkets nearby, so you can easily buy the groceries you need.The breakfast was served nicely and I went alone, but it was nice that they guided me to a quiet room so I could eat comfortably.In particular, the large public bath has an open-air bath with a view of Shirahama Beach, so I enjoyed the hot springs leisurely.

The sea view room is impeccable, Shirahama is really beautiful🥹Even if you stay in the room and enjoy the changing scenery at different times, it is worth it👍🏻Staying for just one night is not enough, you can definitely stay for two nights😌Although the room showed traces of the old hotel's years, it was very clean. My family members who have allergies and are very sensitive to odors also said that there was no odor at all, and they were very comfortable and satisfied with their stay.The service staff are very friendly, the breakfast/dinner meals are of good quality, and the bathhouse is clean, bright and impeccable.

Ocean view in front of the facilitySunrise and sunset in a location where you can seeIt looked beautiful and was really great.The room is big enough for small children to run around.It was big, the bathroom was big and there were two sinks.Because it was there, it was easy to use and helpful.The response from the staff was also very good overall.I don't feel any inconvenience, anxiety, or dissatisfaction.We had a relaxing time.However, the two disappointing points are the welcome drink.It says that it can be used for free until 6pm.However, by the time we arrived at around 5:30 p.m.All the drinks were empty and weAfter that, several other customers came.It was a shame that everyone couldn't drink it.It was being treated as a sea urchin. I went near the endIt might be our fault, so if there's any leftover, we should throw it away.I refrained from replenishing it because I didn't want to do it.It may be, but then it will disappearEven if you display a pop-up message such as “It will end soon”It might have been good to get it. Also, dinner...For those who have a small amount of food and a large texture for both breakfast and breakfast.You might feel like it's not enough.The taste is light and healthy and very delicious.I was a little disappointed because it was so hot. breakfastEven better if it's just a buffet style.I thought it would be.

I had a relaxing time at the dining hall.Since it was a group, we all had a good time talking and the customer service was nice and fashionable, and the atmosphere was good. I am also satisfied with the food.The room had an ocean view and I was very satisfied with the view of the Shirahama coast. The scenery was nice, but I was very satisfied with the bath ♡ The outdoor hot water ♨️ was so sticky that I wanted to stay in it forever.

I stayed here for one night in July.The room had an ocean view, and when you opened the curtains you could see the sea of ​​Shirahama, and the view was very beautiful.We ate at the restaurant both in the morning and in the evening, but it was really nice that there were tables and chairs on tatami mats and not a tatami room.The amount of food was just right, not too much and not too little.You can hear the sound of waves from the open-air bath in the large public bath.It was a hot spring that made you want to stay in it forever.I went out to set off fireworks at night.I forgot to bring a bucket to put out the fireworks,I don't drink, so I asked the staff at the inn.I have a bucket of water outside.Please feel free to do so. Thank you for kindly telling meI was impressed by how attentive the inn was.There is even a shower outside for swimming in the sea.Perfect for staying at the beach.

It's a great place for swimming right in front of Shirahama.Although it is a sandy beach, there are many fish and you can enjoy snorkeling.There was a shower and a dehydrator near the hotel after swimming at the beach, which was very convenient.However, I would have liked to have a place to dry my bath towels and swimsuits in the room.As with all accommodations, it is inconvenient that there are no hand towel racks in the toilet or sink. Some places offer paper-based services, but this hotel didn't have them.I stayed for 4 nights, and the meals were very delicious, with different side dishes for dinner and breakfast every day, both visually and visually appealing.Towels were provided in the large bath, so I was able to take a quick bath after my morning walk. The hot water was a little salty and thick and felt good.The room is a deluxe Japanese style room with a bed. Although it has been renovated, the pillars and doors (toilet, closet, etc.) are still the same, so I don't know if you think it's old or retro...It was clean and comfortable. All the staff were kind and pleasant. I thought this hotel was doing its best in everything. I'm very satisfied considering the price. I would like to come every year if possible.thank you very much.

The room looked out onto the beach and had a beautiful view. The staff are enthusiastic and provide detailed explanations. During dinner, the waiter from Taiwan explained the dishes in Chinese and was very kind. Dining in a separate room is beautifully presented, the dishes are rich, and the taste is amazing. Fireworks can be set off on the beach, and there is a 24-hour supermarket nearby where you can buy them. The hotel also sells them, but the price is more expensive. The hotel is in a good location and has an outdoor parking space which is very convenient. In the evening, the female hot spring bath and the private bath are on the first floor. They are blocked by fences and cannot see the view, which is a pity. The hotel has a long history, but it is well maintained and every detail is well done.
