Beach Side Inn Shirahama

Everything, They had parking! The private onsen was amazing. I don't think we used the showers in our room the entire time. It was a 3 minute walk to the beach. The brown paper bag breakfast was nostalgic and perfect for a quick bite to eat before heading out or you could take it with you. We ate there because they had a little toaster oven to heat up the bread. The outdoor shower was great for washing off all that sand. They also had a washing machine for clothes and you can hang them outside to dry in the sun.

Very cute and very wholesome, I loved it. It’s right across the street from the beach and a shrine, and we could hear the waves at night. The room was clean and simple with a simple bathroom. It’s a surfer’s paradise and we also saw a family there which was very cute. A very nice sac-lunch style breakfast was provided for us in the morning. They asked ahead of time if we had any food allergies, and they made us a lovely vegetarian sandwich for breakfast. Their system for onsen use was also great! They left keys for them private onsen at the front desk as a first come first served, and limited the use to 40 mins which is more than enough time. We used the stone onsen at night, and it was magical to be able to hear the ocean waves and gaze up at the stars. It feels like it is family-run and everyone, including the cook in the morning, was very friendly which is lovely. I will return here the next time I visit Shimoda!

The place is very well managed and the hosts were extremely friendly, a good location if you're thinking of staying near shimoda but closer to the beaches. There were also 2 private onsens free of charge that we loved using and the free breakfast was nice as well. There was also free washing machine service provided. Drive slowly to reach the entrance because it's a tiny road

We liked so many things about this sweet little place. Firstly, though just a few meters from the beach, but it's just enough off the main road that it was quiet. The outdoor onsen was a real treat, and we could even hear the waves from there. The staff was kind and communicative, even when we had to use translation devices, and graciously waited up for us, in spite of our late arrival time. The breakfast to-go was perfect. The room was comfortable, the price was right.... We appreciated everything there. We would definitely stay there again!

No complaints! Parking is right next to property ( just need to follow the sign). They let us check in early with a short notice as it was just way too hot for any activity. They prompted helped us with hot water. The room and the place is very clean! The lounge is very aesthetic!
