Friendly staff. Spotlessly clean room and shared bathroom. Quiet location, but not far from cute café, onsen baths and spectacular sunsets from Senjojiki Rock Plateau.

Renovated in July 2017, SPA Inn Shirahama features free WiFi access and free private parking. The rooms have a flat-screen TV. Some rooms feature views of the sea or mountain.

It was an out of the way quiet 70's classic hotel, had a non functioning dining room with funky furniture, the red wicker giant capital letters LOVE you entered through was novel and this featured in the headboard of the wide beds and the also the table and chairs. The facilities were tired but clean and comfortable. the Shirahama caves are across the road and you get to see the most amazing sunsets. The bus stop is at the door. There is also the Shirahama plateau down the road. Shirahama Beach is an amazing white sand surf beach. However all rooms are smoking but we went and bought scented sticks from Daiso and solved the problem.

Set within 500 metres of Tanabe Ogigahama Beach and less than 1 km of Sankozaki Beach, Ichie offers rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Tanabe.

I had a lovely stay at Ichie café, the traditional house is old yet gorgeous, with a view on a wonderful Japanese garden. The walls are of course quite thin, hopefully, the place only has two rooms so the noise is kept to a minimum. I had the nice surprise of discovering Ichie café baked fresh chiffon cakes and packed it so we could take them with us on our way to Kumano kodo. And it was delicious!! Thanks again, I would easily come back !

    It exceeded my expectations, the guest house is very comfortable, smells so good and is well located, there is an Ashyiu (foot bath) less than 200 m away. And it's posible to visit a lot places by foot. The host is a great person and very friendly and willing to offer the best experience during your stay and recommend places to do in the city. Takami, thank you very much for your hospitality and for the ride to the train station. Wifi is excellent, but works best in the shared area.

    This is a great place to stay. The hosts are delightful - they are helpful and friendly and also speak enough English to make everything smooth. Breakfast was quite special, and different, every day. The location is very convenient - a short walk from Fisherman's Wharf but in a quiet street. I think the rooms themselves are nicer than in the pictures - I expected a small bedroom but ours was actually quite spacious with a seating area, storage space and a bathroom sink. The whole place is quite stylish.

    Our host Takami was friendly and charming and gave us the run of virtually the entire house. Very laid back and relaxed atmosphere: perfect! We had a great time in Shirahama walking, swimming, soaking in a beach-side onsen and sampling the local cuisine and craft beer :)

    Lovely little guesthouse with three rooms. Very cosy shared living area. You sleep on tatamis (comfortable!) and bathroom facilities are shared. We arrived by car and there was parking. Our host gave us some excellent recommendations around town. It’s in a residential neighbourhood about a 10 minute walk down to the beach and the tourist area, which is really nice (as the centre of town feels a bit touristy)

    This is a charming and relaxed guest house not far from the beach. Beautifully renovated and looked after. Our host Mizu spoke perfect English and helped with everything we needed: bicycles, dinner reservations and even booking a massage! Nice relaxed atmosphere in a family setting.

    The guesthouse Shirahama was quiet and very comfortable because it had a Japanese home atmosphere. And the host was very kind. The location is only 5 minutes from Shirahama Beach. If I go to Shirahama again, I want to stay there again.
