Summary: The accomodation we stayed was a two-storey house, with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, two toilets and one bathroom. The size of the house seemed to be over 1000 sq. feet which were perfect for a family of 6 or more. There was a fully equipped kitchen and washing machine, saving us a lot of money and hassle. The location was also exellent, Sandanbeki bus stop was right outside the guesthouse and from here you can get to most of the tourist attractions without changing bus. The house owner was living in the adjacent house and he was so nice that whenever we needed help he would be available for assisting us. The price was amazingly low and we wholeheartedly recommend the accomodation to those visiting Shirahama if an accomodation with hotspring and board is not a must.

Summary: Very unique guesthouse. its the only guesthouse that we stayed in throughout our 10 days trip.
Amenities are great and clean. We once worried it would be a bit noisy as its an old japanese house with thin walls, sitting right at the intersection and entrance of the famous Sandanbeki, turned out we both agreed we had the best quality of sleep, even better than the hotels and onsen ryokan that we stayed at. Love the smell of tatami in the room ! Owners are friendly and helpful !
overall a very nice experience, not to mention its really cheap price ! sadly we had to leave very early morning to go to Katsuura for the Tuna auction , Highly recommended !

Summary: The location was good; right in front of the Sandanbeki bus stop. The facilities may not be fancy, but the dormitory had everything we needed, even a shoes dryer. The hospitability of the owner Mr Kawaguchi was excellent. The light meals served there were all fine and reasonably priced. Only drawback was the other travellers' noise during the night time, but Mr Kawaguchi immediately responded to this claim and appropriately managed the situation. I highly recommend this place for anyone visit to Shirahama area.
