Kabuki and Keita have created a welcoming and comfortable space for travelers. The room was simple and perfect with a comfy bed, small table with lamp and wash area. The breakfast was probably the best I’ve ever had — not just in Japan, but ever! So much care in every detail with homemade and fresh yogurt, granola, breads and juices. The generous breakfast kept me full until afternoon! They were helpful with suggestions for the area. The central location is great — can walk to most places in Shirahama and near many restaurants and cafes. They also run a small cafe. I loved the care and attention to details. If in Shirahama again I would only stay here!

The couple running the B&B is extremely welcoming and very helpful. Breakfast is exceptional, beautifully prepared, not only delicious but also arranged to be visually appealing, and different every day. The whole place is spotless and comfortable, and there are lovely views from the bedrooms and the cafe' downstairs where breakfast is served.

Feeling very welcomed, very cozy room that invites to rest and self reflection, their breakfasts are by far the best I ever had. period. quality , variety and presentation wise . i really felt better after. a lot of wisdom behind them. having the chance to go to the temple every day is amazing. The Monk is the most sweet religious person i’ve ever met , very welcoming and helpful and the yoga was rally uplifting.

The property is a 10minute Walk to shirarahama beach. The tourist spots in this island are close to each other so if your comfortable walking then you’ll be fine.You also have the option to rent a car if there’s any. If not, you can rent a bike from cogicogi.Fyi, it is near a coin laundry station that’s open from 5am til 12midnight. The owners served me a healthy breakfast for my 2 night stay and I’m happy to able to experience their hospitality. Thanks once again :)

The staff were incredibly welcoming, respectful, and kind. I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast experience, as we had the chance to chat, I really enjoyed it! The room was lovely and felt safe, with an amazing view of the beach. I also followed their recommendations for the onsen and nearby restaurants, and they didn’t disappoint. ありがとうございます〜 Oh! And also, English available :)

The staff really make this place and enjoyable experience. They are so kind and will go above and beyond to ensure you have a good stay. There is always a level of uncertainty when booking B&B's but as soon as we arrived all those uncertainties disappeared. Lovely Breakfast as well, the staff really care about accommodating you.

Sampark means friends and is run by one of the friendliest couples I've ever met. We started the day with yoga at the temple near the B&B and then had an incredibly healthy breakfast overlooking the ocean. It is a treasure that is well worth a visit. And the town Shirahama has a lot to offer

The hosts were a very warm and helpful couple. The breakfast was beyond terrific. The room was clean as was the shower and bathroom. The hosts were very helpful setting up taxis, recommending a restaurant, and arranging attendance in a yoga session at the Buddish temple Nextdoor. Is someone doesn't require their own private toilet or shower, I would recommend this B&B. By the way, the food was very healthy.

Exceptional hospitality awaits you here! The food is sensational, culinary delights you will not forget. The view from the room overlooking the sea is mind-soothing, so are the optional morning meditations in the temple right next door. Particularily suitable for solo travellers I find, the cheerful and attentive hosts are locals and will direct you with great interest. I will come back!

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.

- It’s not negative but we would have liked to have some options to choose from for breakfast (it changes every day and it is nice, but it’s a set meal)

- Very kind, lovely and helpful owner couple - Extremly comfortable bed and bedding (for my taste) - Very clean - The café has a modern feeling, is nicely decorated and inviting to chill out - Morning chanting and yoga in the temple next door was a nice experience

While there is a shared shower and separate shared toilets, both shower and toilets were perfect and super clean. Also, every room has water and a sink. I seldom stay in a hotel without an en suite bathroom, but I did not even notice any inconvenience in this case.

This tiny B and B is very special. If you happen to be in Shirahama, you really should stay here. Everything is done with impeccable taste and great care and thoughtfulness. The cafe serves excellent coffee, home-made pastries, and a few small plates. The breakfast is healthy and beautiful. And the rooms are sparkling clean and well equipped. I think that all have a view of the ocean. The couple that owns Sampark is wonderful and kind and generous. Summary: a truly exceptional place.

The experience staying here was fantastic! We stayed 3 days 2 nights, the places is very clean and chill. The location also is very convenient, many places can be visited from the hotel. Sampark also has breakfast on first floor and honestly I loved the experience! Every day they serve different breakfast, it is nature and organic, rich in vitamins and nutrients with a beautiful view to the sea ! I could start my day very happy and energetic after the experience in their cafe ! The owners are very kind, very nice and sweet people, they helped us a lot guiding for some sightseeing around there. If you visit Wakayama you DEFINITELY need to come here !

Breakfast in the cafe at the first floor was absolutely fantastic. High quality food with a beautiful view in an adorable venue. Three nights, every morning a different breakfast, prepared with care. Ideal to start the day calmly and relaxed. The owners are very friendly and extremely helpful, the common room is comfy, all rooms are meticulously clean... really, we liked everything here.

I stayed for two days and I was served totally different breakfast. Both of them were soooo good! The place is like you are staying at a friend's home. Everything is fantastic!

Just wish we had planned to stay longer.

Delightful and personable hosts.

This is a very well organized，maintained B&B. The owners have very good taste on decoration and high standard on cleaness. We love the view from our room and enjoy the breakfast very much. The location is very good，we walked to the beach and there are restaurants and shops nearby. Bus stops to the train station and scenic spots are just 3 mins away. Yet the whole place is very quiet. If you are interested，you can aslo join the morning service at the temple next door. Overall, we are very satisfied with our stay! Many kudos to Sampark!

Not great for those with accessibility issues (steep stairs and up a hill)

Such a wonderful stay, the hosts are so lovely and accomodating!! They made me the most delicious breakfasts (gluten free too!) and were so generous. The rooms are modern and clean with really nice beach views. Couldn’t recommend more!

Stayed in July 2023

Excellent room with a view. Very clean and comfortable. The hosts were excellent, suggesting a nearby onsen to use and asking me if I would like to listen to the morning chanting at the temple next door. I would have stayed longer if I had the time.
