"We were located in the annex, which is a little difficult to navigate to and from. We only stayed one night and the hotel got the job done. We didn't have an ocean view room but those seem like they would be awesome. Likely wouldn't go out of my way to stay there but recommend for a night or two"

"This is a lovely hotel, very welcoming and the rooms were huge with fabulous views. Didn’t try the in house restaurants but there’s lots of nice places locally. It’s about 15 mins walk to the beach which is stunning."

"It was a beautiful spot and easy to get to places. A lot of space! But the sauna room smelled like mold and there was a lot of black spots on the wood. The room we split in smelled musty. Quite location and parking spot you don’t have to pay for!"

"Really simple and down to earth place with lovely and kind staff. My favorite parts of the stay was talking to the counter staff and how lovely the view was from the room"

"The property is newly-furnished & we stayed at the 1st floor Japanese Tatami room - it was sparkling clean & the only downside of this property is not located at the Shirahama center but within 10 mins of driving. Highly recommended for those who self-drive!"

"It didn’t matter that it rained the whole time. the house was more than enjoyable, staff extremely accommodating, and the baths outside were occupied all day. "

Special place traditional Japanese style cabin like but on the coast. We had an amazing stay, on a walk to get some dinner supplies at a market we were offered to come celebrate a holiday with community members, a truly special experience. Check in and out with lock box very convenient, be careful driving in as the streets are narrow and be respectful :D

From the moment we were greeted by the genuinely warm welcoming staff at the passenger waiting area, the deck, and the front desk and all throughout our 3 days 2 nights stay here, we have experienced the real "Omotenashi"here. Every moment of our stay here was just perfect!!

This is a must place to visit/stay when you are around Osaka. 2 hr drive from Osaka but definitely worth the trip! Superb staff and management! Super clean and comfortable in every sense! Includes private dining for both breakfast and dinner. Dinner is served as multi-course meal - which was AWESOME! Private natural hot springs bath overlooking the ocean (ocean is literally few steps from the room). Great golf courses nearby as well. You will be glad you had a chance to stay here!

I loved the hot springs, was said it was one of the oldest in Shirahama. Boss lady was a great person, and she served with her heart to make sure everything was fine. Food was absolutely delicious! The fishes were all fresh caught by boss lady’s husband every day. All their vegetables were from their organic farm. The view from Boukai was amazing, very close to Beach. I highly recommend this guest house, made me feel like home vacation.

Some of the other tourists were disrespectfully loud. There are locking coin laundry machines on site. Water bottle filling machine and very close to a Family Mart. The entire town is friendly and proud of their community.

The location was magical, so close to the forest with a small shrine near by, just over the mountain from one of the major shrines on the Kumano Kodo it was a nice place to land. The onsen at the hotel is small but better than the public one.

Simply beautiful. The onsen was so wonderful and the community onsen was even better. The staff were absolute professionals and went above and beyond our expectations. The breakfast and dinner were as we expected. I really liked their tempura but i loved the sashimi. My partner loved the beer dispenser:)
We feel a got the best deal!

Everything is better than expectation. The room is huge for 2 persons; well enough for 4 people. The shared kitchen is great for self-cooking party. The only drawback is the access to the property, need to climb some stairs with your luggage, no car access directly to the property.

This hotel is a different hotel that i found in Japan, Room design is very nice and colorful furniture.
Private Onsen with beautiful sea view, private beach with beautiful sunset.
The dinner was very delicious and staff very friendly.
Want to back here again someday
