We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful place with an amazing view. The rooms were lovely, well-equipped, and just a 10-minute walk from the beach. Katsu is a very kind, attentive, and helpful host – we truly appreciated his support and interest. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would warmly recommend it to anyone. Thank you so much for the great experience!

The pillows were a bit too soft for our taste, but everything else was perfect

We had a lovely stay. The room was well equipped and had everything we needed. The highlight was definitely the beautiful view from the terrace, perfect for relaxing! Katsu was very kind and friendly, always ready to help.

Nothing to be mentioned.

I had an amazing stay in Shimoda! The place was wonderfully authentic, with a charming atmosphere that felt uniquely local. The beach was just a short walk away, and there was a nearby restaurant serving excellent food—definitely a highlight of my trip. The landlord was incredibly kind and accommodating, even driving me to the train station after my stay. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxing and genuine experience.

This has nothing to do with the accommodation itself, it's just there are plenty of insects in the area, so I would advise caution while opening and closing the doors to not let any in.

The place looks really cool and has this unique vibe to it. Me and my friends enjoyed the Japanese type of bedding, although sleeping of futon is not the most comfortable to me. The house is 15 minute walk from a beach and a convenience store.

Lil bit of toilet.

Beach facing terrace and BBQ garden with all the necessary equipment and I like the very cozy entrance. I am sure to go in summer.

Nothing, I had a lovely stay.

I very much enjoyed my stay here. The futons were confortable and the appartment was nice and clean. The view from the room is lovely overlooking the beach. The BBQ is also a really nice added bonus. There were a few insects, spiders and mosquitos, but this can't be helped and can be managed with the provided insect repellents. The property also has plenty of plates, cutlery and cooking utentils for both indoor cooking and the BBQ. The beach is also a short 10min walk away and popular for those who like surfing. I would definitely recommend to others.

If I had to be picky, the bathroom isnt anything special. But it is fine

This place was so cool. We booked last minute due to a mistake with our other place. The host met us and showed us around. Set up a charcoal BBQ. It is SUCH a cool spot. The room has tatami and you set up a bed. All the kitchen things you need. The view is incredible....I highly recommend.

The host was extremely helpful. He met us when we arrived and also helped arrange barbecue in a very short notice. The kitchen was very well equipped and the house was very clean. The books and games available we very thoughtful. We would love to visit here again.

I like its location. It's on the top from where you can see the ocean. Have a backyard for bbq. And the most is the host Katchu San a wise man. He is charming and helpful.

So many bugs there. I am ok such as ants, mosquitos,cockroach even big bugs in the rooms. But it is old house matter . The room is so clean. And the room key is not safety, we were given the just our room’s key. The entrance key is not given. So it is bit scare.

The Retro it reminds me granny’s house. House is absolutely old,but this is the Japanese retro house. I think you might able to remind Japanese old animation.
