I stayed with you last year, and I really like the friendly staff, the BBQ on the premises, and the abundance of bars and shower rooms.You can enjoy the extraordinary space and the starry sky is very beautiful at night and you can even see shooting stars♪It may have been a short time in August, but fireworks were set off once every two days, so I was very happy to be able to see them right in front of my eyes!I was able to walk from Shirahama Beach, and although I didn't have a car, I was very satisfied because the bus stop was nearby and it was easy to get around, and I was able to enjoy it even within the facility! I want to go again next year.

I am very disappointed. I made a reservation through Agoda for 2 nights - 2 adults and 2 children and I saw at check-in that there was an error regarding the number of people, probably at the time of booking that I didn't notice. I paid 30,000 yen in advance. I asked at the time if I should pay anything extra and was told no. Later, the attendant told me that I would have to pay another 42,000 yen to adjust this. Given that the place is incompatible with the price, I refused and said that I would only stay one night (the price on the list was 24,000 yen for the night I would stay and they still took my entire 30,000 yen deposit). I stayed in an extremely small room that didn't even have room for the 4 futons. I have traveled a lot in Japan and this is the worst place I have ever stayed. It is old, with several dead insects throughout the house. Completely incompatible with the price charged. There are not even bath towels available, you just have to pay more. The days off to celebrate my husband's birthday turned out to be the worst trip we've ever taken in Japan. The staff are kind but not efficient for larger situations. The outdoor area is nice, but the hotel is limited to this.

From the warm welcome to tips for the stay to the amenities on the day of departure: we were able to go to the beach again, leave the car in the parking lot and take a shower, there is nothing that could have been better about our great stay. The outdoor shower gives you the feeling of being in the jungle and there was an ice-cold coffee as a farewell drink. Top recommendation.

The only good thing is that it's cheap.I don't know because I haven't compared it to others!What I thought was badAs other people's reviews said, there are stains on the futon.The air conditioner in the room smelled so bad that it was better not to turn it on even in the middle of summer.Since I'm a student, it didn't bother me too much, but I don't think I'd be able to stand it if an adult came over.But it was fun!

The vibe of the place is good, but it’s too pricy for the facilities they are offering.Tatami rooms which barely fits two people is designed for 4.Parking costs 1500 for a night.You can rent a towel for 300¥.We had an okay stay, but I would prefer something more comfortable.Staff is friendly, views give off a Bali vibe. The outdoor shower was amazing.
