You can see the sea from the room.If the weather is good, you can see many islands!The food is sumptuous, and considering it's a pension, you can maintain your privacy. The private bath does not have a view, but the atmosphere is very nice. The owner is friendly and you can also rent sea goods.

I stayed at GW for one night with two meals included.The entire facility is old. The staff's response and friendliness are very good, so I feel like that makes up for it. The view from the room is very nice, but the curtains and carpets are quite worn out. Since there aren't dozens of rooms, I thought it would be a good idea to remake the carpets and curtains soon.The food was delicious

I stayed here because the reviews were good, but to be honest, I was pretty disappointed in everything except the location (the view from the room).Although it can't be helped that the entire facility is old, the carpets in the rooms have stains here and there, and the walls of the shared bathroom are also dirty with stains stained. There are still stains left on the guide sheet in the room after placing the cup, and I wonder if they don't care about the stains in such visible places. The room is spacious, but the unit bath is old-fashioned and quite small. There is a private bath, but it is completely enclosed and unfortunately there is no view. I think the shared shower that can be accessed from outside is convenient when you come back from the beach, but it is also quite old and I hesitate to use it.I had high expectations for the meal, but other than the main fish dish, it wasn't all that delicious, and I was concerned that the seasoning was salty overall. The crab was also salty, especially the gratin that came with the meat dish, it was so salty that I couldn't eat it. (Have you tasted it?) The main pork was also dry, and the apple pie for dessert was as good as you could make at home using frozen puff pastry. Looking at the reviews, it always seems like apple pie, but I wish they would offer something a little more seasonal, like dessert. The rice in the ohitsu was soggy and not tasty, probably because there was too much water in it.The service was handled by a young part-time worker, who often forgot or made mistakes regarding our requests.It was also disappointing that breakfast was delivered to my room in a basket, even though the coronavirus pandemic has already subsided.I could see the sea clearly from my room, and at night I could see the starry sky outside the window. I think the only special feature of this inn is the view.I've stayed at various inns and pensions, but to be honest, this price is pretty bad for this level.

I visited here two years ago before the coronavirus pandemic reached its peak, and I will visit again now that freedom is starting to return. The breakfast in the basket served in the room was really delicious. The sashimi for dinner was also wonderful. The view from the hill near Shirahama is also spectacular. I'm really looking forward to it!

The food and staff interaction is good, but I don't think they've been accepted as a place to stay because they don't respond to what I told them in advance, and there are signs that don't make it clear until you check the small details such as parking. That's a shame.

I could see the ocean from my room, and the sunrise in the morning was a wonderful view.Unfortunately, I could hear noise from the room next door and upstairs.
