Introduction of the Accommodation

Relax in our meticulously designed rooms, onsen facilities, and gardens.
Choseian, located on land facing a coastal hillside, is a unique garden Ryokan that emphasizes privacy and charm while making the most of the natural terrain. It features completely independent detached rooms, spacious and character-filled rooms renovated from traditional Japanese houses, main building rooms designed to harmonize with the garden, and modern Japanese-style rooms. The entire property, including the Onsen building, is meticulously designed with attention to detail.

Enjoy the resort town with the sea, Onsen, famous attractions, and leisure facilities.
Renowned as a resort town, Nanki Shirahama offers beautiful coastlines, attractions, and leisure facilities. From our accommodation, you can easily explore and enjoy all it has to offer. Whether it's the famous summer fireworks festival or seasonal sightseeing throughout the year, immerse yourself in the warm climate to your heart's content. When you return to the accommodation, a serene room with onsen and exquisite cuisine awaits you.

A hidden retreat, Nagase-an, offers a vibrant space. Unlike an Onsen Accommodation, enjoy drinks, cuisine, and music in a unique atmosphere. This is the perfect place to savor a drink with music after your meal. Operating hours: Friday & Saturday 18:00–22:00, Sunday 12:00–18:00 *Temporary closures or reduced hours may apply.
