      Excellent location, kind staff, great value!”

      This inn is definitely the best value for your money. The location is so, so convenient. It is old (which gives it character) but everything is clean and the owners are super nice and take time to explain not only the simple but sufficient facilities but also the local area. I've stayed in the past and will stay again.

      A very warm family. a talkative grandma, a kind highschool boy and a nice father, not so workable when using English but with patient all the time.that would be a brilliant choice if you willing to feel some real traditional Japanese style room,also with great location just face next to the shirahama beach. One more thing, check out at next day to the Kumono Taisha, to ask if could put some luggages at there for a day and being approved by the father, that really help us a lot and make me a great impression at shirahama, Thank you!

      5 mins walk from shirahama beach bus stop. Room was fine, they even prepare a set of yukata in the room. The small tub to soak your tired body or feet is really convenient although it is pretty run down, but it pretty clean. However you can practically hear every noise outside your room, when people walk around the house, cough, sneeze or talk. Also you can hear the noise from the road when car or people pass by.

      Traditional Minshuku homestay, nice owner with limited English. You could feel how Japanese take their vacation in the pass. Walking distance 24 hours supermarket. 15 minutes walk to an Onsen by the sea (Saki no yu 崎之湯 )Downside is no bathroom and toilet in the room but have a little old onsen. With this price is reasonable.

There is only one bath room and two toilets in the hostel, it's not a problem because I don't see anyone queue for their turn, most people spent their time at the beach.
