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 !

Nice guesthouse in Shirahama
We stayed for two nights. Room was very clean and comfortable. All the facilities were great. We hired bikes to go to the beach (10 minutes) and to go to Adventure World (25 minutes). The owner was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!
