Perfect location if you’re planning on spending your time at the beach.

The house is very old and therefore sometimes a bit shabby, however very authentic and beautiful. The facilities are simple, but you have everything you need, even four a couple of days. There’s a fridge, microwave and water boiler available. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location is great: within walking distance to the beach, onsen, covenience stores, restaurants and easy accessible by bus from Shirahama station. There are also some bicycles that can be used for free.

Just one bathroom (women/men one each), so you have to wait sometimes. But as there are so many favourable onsen nearby, you have plenty of other possibilities to bath. My room was towards the street, so in the morning it got a bit noisy because of the traffic.

The Koi pond was beautiful had a very calming effect on the place. The price for having your own room in Shirahama was awesome. The onsen/shower was also private which is very rare. 3 min walk from beach, less then a minute walk to the restaurants and the supermarket is about 5 mins. The location is perfect! The host is lovely as well as the friendly obachan

It’s a bit out dated

Very near to beach and super market. And host is very good.
