Located just a 2-minute walk from Shirahama Beach in Shimoda, Beach Side Inn Shirahama is cozy friendly accommodations with warm wooden flooring and furnishings.

We loved staying at Shirahama Beach Side Inn! The owners were super friendly and helpful. The private onsens were so nice after a long day of walking and hiking. The free breakfast was such a nice touch and so yummy! Softest sandwich bread ever! The eating area was very cozy, I spent some time working there in the morning and it was so peaceful. I came during a rainy time but I imagine during the summer it's very popular for surfers. I am from hawaii and the hotel had lots of Hawaii art which was very sweet to see. We hope to be back someday :)

海豚自由 イルカフリー Free dolphin enjoys a location in Shimoda, 29 miles from Shuzen-ji Temple and 30 miles from Shuzenji Niji no Sato.

The facilities suit the budget. If I can suggest some improvement - hot water for drink or instant ramen, either thermos flask or electric kettle would be convenient.

    The guesthouse is wonderful, very relaxing, with very clean rooms and super-friendly hosts! It's only a 1-minute walk from the beautiful Ohama Kisima beach. The meals are excellent and it's possible to have breakfast in the morning waiting for you in a basket in the room, great!

    The guesthouse is located on a beautiful hill next to a bay. The guesthouse is built in such a way that a view over the bay is possible from the room and the very nice and well equipped common area. The bike rental is a very nice add on to explore the surrounding beaches in the area and do some errands in the city. Everything is very clean and well cared for. But the best feature is the host who was going the extra mile for our wellbeing and not just offer loads of tips in the area, but also for other destinations on our trip!

    A wonderful hostel with everything you need. Situated in a gorgeous quiet location overlooking the sea, beautiful beaches nearby. Restaurants and bars nearby. The hostel provides a well equipped kitchen, bikes and stand up paddle boards. Good hikes and onsens around the area. The hosts are a kind, friendly couple who are enthusiastic about what they do to make their guests feel at home. We loved it there and would highly recommend the area and hostel as a good place to relax.

    Shimoda is a really cool town, I loved it, and I think if it hadn’t been for the location and the value of TOMI’s place, then I might not have stayed for the full three nights. I was able to rent a bike for two days very cheaply from TOMI, and the beds were very comfortable and the dorm was quiet. Loads and loads to do in the area!

    Quiet location with a beautiful view. Mr. Yamamoto is an exceptional host. He was simply lovely; he speaks English, incredibly kind, and made everything effortless for us. The pension is spotlessly clean and well maintained. There is a 7-11 at the beach, so it was quite convenient. We took the bus from Shimoda station with no difficulty. It was a great stay.
