My family and I stayed here without meals during the summer vacation. It was in a great location, with Shirarahama Beach right in front of us, and a convenience store next door, so guests could park their cars. My wife made it possible for me to wash my swimsuit on the balcony, and kindly greeted me when I went out and came back. Although it was a guesthouse, the tatami room was well-cleaned, and I was able to sleep on the futon without any allergies.It was a fireworks day in Shirahama and there were a lot of people, but the location was great and I was able to enjoy the spectacular fireworks from the beach with my family without any stress. thank you very much.

Due to the coronavirus, the curfew is 23:00, and I can't go out after the curfew!Good proximity to the beach.It was noisy outside at night, but the windows were double-paned, so I was able to get a good night's sleep.

About 10 years ago, I used to go there every year as part of our annual summer vacation event. There was a cheerful and friendly hostess, and it felt like returning home. If I have grandchildren again, I would like to take them with me.

It was used for overnight stay. Bath towels, towels, and toothbrushes were prepared, and for the bath, I had a ticket for the hot spring public bath located behind the inn, and a basket containing conditioner shampoo …

A Japanese-style room with a bath. It's convenient because it's so close to the sea. It's so close that the season is lively and chaotic.
