"Tolle Wohneinheit mit guter Ausstattung und alles sehr sauber. Personal an der Rezeption extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit. Gute Klimaanlage im Zimmer. Die Wohneinheit ist jedoch leider etwas abgelegen auf einem Berg und ein Auto wäre ratsam. Für uns ging es auch ohne, aber man muss Fußweg zum Bus einplanen und Busse fahren nur bis ca 19:30. Ich habe vorab über Expedia gefragt, ob wir unser Gepäck an der Rezeption abgegeben können, leider wurde nicht geantwortet. Es war aber ohne Probleme...

"Being able to walk on the beach in 20 seconds is an absolute dream! We had such a wonderful stay here and Shirahama is such a cute town! The hotel was wonderful for our family of 4 with kids sleeping on traditional futons and two large twins available for us! There are partitions to separate the rooms. My only slight issue was wanting the futon room to be more blackout as the sun rises early! The housekeeping doesn’t clean everyday but they do drop off amenities. The hotel breakfast was wonderful highly recommend the buffet as most places aren’t open early."
