The location is perfect and peaceful. The guesthouse is charming, funny, clean, and the hosts are truly warm, friendly, and helpful. The best place to stay in Shirahama! Thank you again, and may God bless you!

The room is clean and fun, the hotel keeper is super nice, the location is nice. First, this youth hotel have a lot of little cute things that make people feel happiness, this hotel is my dream house. Second, I lost my battery bunk accidentally in the journey, hotel keeper called bus center immediately, although I didn’t find it at last, but that’s makes me feel comfortable. Last, this youth hotel is near Sandanbeki, you can come to this view for sunrise and sunset, it’s very convenient.

The hostel is located on the quiet side of Shirahama, yet conveniently accessible by bus, and within a short walk to Sandanbeki. The owner takes great care of each every guest and the place down to details. It’s comfortable and clean everywhere in the house. I enjoyed my stay very much.

Nice place and staff. The owner make sure you have everything you need. You have a towel free of charge and a lot of cheap food (snacks, drinks, food cheaper than konbini) you can buy. A manga reading corner has (almost?) all Naruto, SnK and One Piece mangas so manga readers can look forward to it.

The venue of the guest house is excellent, just 1-minute walk from bus station 'Santuanpeki, which is 30 minute bus from JR station (JPY480) . Fancy and cozy public area with lots of traditional Japanese elements and free tea & coffee (machine). 1st floor is mix dorm and 2nd floor are private rooms. All-rounded kitchen and wash machine. Nice host couple even provided a free ride to JR station for my train earlier than the first local bus. Thank you and highly recommended.

You can find all you need for your staying. Plus the guest place is like a museum, many collections to see and Jspan culture to learn. The owner is very friendly and care about guests .

My dream home would look like this. Would definitely come back again. It’s so homey and clean. Have everything you can think of! Room is so quiet and comfortable, spacious. Have our own kitchen as well! Loved the green theme bathroom.

Friendly and helpful owner. All standard amenities are provided for free. Laundry is 200 yen for washing and 100 yen for drying per 30 minutes. There is a clothes rack for hanging clothes, and in the room, there is also a retractable clothesline. The guests were respectful during my stay, so there was no noise during the night. The stores nearby are closed after the evening, but can buy food at the guesthouse.

Great location, accessible by bus and close to Sandabeki Cave. Staff was really friendly. Great facilities: there is a retractable clothes line in the room so you can still do laundry when weather is bad. The room is very comfortable.

Nothing that we didn't like.

We booked this place largely based on the pictures (the Showa era feel) and the overwhelmingly positive reviews, and our expectations were exceeded. This place has a lot of heart and charm, and is very well-equipped. Everything is set up with thought and care. Also very clean and comfortable. We recommend hiring a car for the Wakayama region, so you don't have to grapple with the public buses, especially if you have a lot of bags! Driving these roads is a breeze and it really opens up the area to you.

The pillows could have been a bit thicker but I’m super that I would have gotten a second one in a heartbeat if I had asked

Great owner, made us feel welcome immediately ! there were so many thoughtful details and amenities both in the room and in the common area

Although there are rules about noise and running, some guests just won't follow rules. Can't blame the guesthouse on this.

It's very clean! Never expected a guesthouse to be this clean. It definitely has increased my expectations for all the other guesthouse that I'll be staying. And the price for the room, it's just fantastic. Keep it up! Because it's very hard for us to get a stay at this price. Wouldn't have come to such a beautiful place if this guesthoise didn't exist. Thank you very much for offering such a place for us!
