"Clean and spacious room and the location was perfect."

Hamachidorinoyu Kaisyu

8/10 Good

"The hotspring is good. But the hot spring room could be a bit larger"

Hotel Sanrakuso

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic onsen. Very good amenities. Staff drive us to the airport when there were no taxis, so excellent service"

Nanki-Shirahama Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Shirahamakan

10/10 Excellent

"The private onsen was great. Big room. Very close to everything"

Kisyu Shirahama Onsen Musashi

8/10 Good

"This was a really cool retro/traditional hotel. While very well maintained, the ambience is something out of the 1970s. The traditional room with tatami mat flooring and the sliding doors with rice paper were so lovely. I enjoyed sleeping on the futon, which the staff comes and lays out for you in the evening. Beach access to Shirahama beach is almost perfect. The sea view room did not disappoint for views. The breakfast and supper buffets were the most diverse and wonderful I have ever experienced. They can get very busy and chaotic, however. The staff were.soooo helpful. The baths were very nice and I did not experience any busy-ness in them. Overall, a great and super unique experience!"

Crystal Exe Nankishirahama2

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and nice. They provide almost everything including detergent for laundry and drying rack and you can use the dehumidifer to dry the clothes when it rained. There were mould on the bathroom curtain so hope they will clean up. Overall we had a good stay."

Shiraraso Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good things: Excellent location - it just a few steps to the Shirahama beach, and a bus stop just outside the hotel. Great staff at the check-in counter, room is clean and okay. Bad things: It's a dated hotel, the room is clean but the hallway (3rd floor) is a little bit smelly. The traditional restaurant mostly serves local Japanese, I don't feel wellcomed during our dinner time. Also, there was nobody to open the sliding door at the restaurant exit when we leave, but they did for the local Japanese."

Shirahama Coganoi Resort&Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This is a lovely hotel, very welcoming and the rooms were huge with fabulous views. Didn’t try the in house restaurants but there’s lots of nice places locally. It’s about 15 mins walk to the beach which is stunning."
