Shirahama Seaside

Great, friendly, helpful staff. Little English is spoken here but they have instructions written in English so every thing was fine. Nice onsen furo pools. One side had jaccuzi bubbling pool, 3 other pools and a nice outdoor pool. The other side had only 1 large pool with a fancy outdoor pool. They switch sides everyday so one gets to try both sides. Onsen open 0600-1000 and 1500-2400. WI-FI was fast but was available only in the lobby. From the hotel one can walk the beach route down to Sandanbeki cliffs in about 2.5 hours enjoying a lot of scenic spots along the way – of course then there is the 2.5 hours walk back or catch a bus! Cab ride from Shirahama station to hotel was approx. 1600-yen. There is a shuttle bus that serves approx 20 hotels around the area but there was no explanation in English available at this time. The ride from the station to the hotels I believe are first-come-first-served. I tried to use that shuttle to get from the hotel to the station and was told I’d need a reservation but it booked for the time I wanted to go to the station.

We have spent 3 nights in the Japanese style room on June,2013, the room rate in reasonable price included breakfast and dinner at only JY6,000.-/person with excellent onsen (hot spring spa), our room clean, quiet with free wi-fi. The staffs were helpful + smile face to assist at any time, the hotel located in front of the Pacific sea, after dinner we will take a walk along the beach to enjoy the night view and from hotel just few minutes walk to the mini-supermarket. We will back again in fall autumn this year.
