Very warm welcome from hotel staff, fantastic view from the balcony, comfortable stay and definitely will come back

Everything was wonderful—10/10!! First of all, the Room was lovely and spotless. It had a washer and dryer, hangers for drying laundry, a fan, insect spray—everything you could hope for was perfectly provided. The refrigerator was stocked with plenty of drinks. We gratefully enjoyed them. The hair dryer was a ReFa, which made me even more excited. The shampoo and conditioner were also high quality. For breakfast, we had a vegetable-packed salad, bread, soup, fruit, and more. It was delicious. Even after check-out, they kindly listened to our requests. This is truly an outstanding Accommodation. I’m already worried that if it becomes too popular, I won’t be able to make a Reservation... It rained heavily the whole time, so I’d love to visit again—next time I hope to see a beautiful sunset and the stars.

We stayed here last year with our dog and loved it so much that we came back again this year. Our dog had the freedom to play in the garden dog run, and the BBQ while listening to the sound of the waves was amazing. The sunset was beautiful, and from the back door you can reach the beach in no time. We even received a souvenir when we checked out. We’ll definitely be back!

I stayed here to see the sagaribana just before the typhoon. This was my second visit. The hosts’ warm, unpretentious hospitality is wonderful—it really makes you feel like you’ve come to the island. The stars in the night sky were beautiful, almost unbelievable with a typhoon approaching. I’d love to stay again. Thank you very much.

When we suddenly decided to go to Shirahama, everywhere was fully booked and we were struggling to find a place. This Accommodation had availability and great reviews, so we made a Reservation. The only Room available was one on the top floor, and it was more than spacious enough for our family of three, yet reasonably priced. The Accommodation itself felt like a family-run place—somewhere between a small Hotel, a Ryokan, and a guesthouse. Both the foreign staff member at the front desk and the elderly person who showed us around were very kind, offering warm hospitality. The refrigerator was a standard type with separate fridge and freezer compartments, so we could buy ice cream at the convenience store and bring it back. There were also complimentary bottled waters in the fridge for each of us. There is no large public bath, but the in-room bath was like a typical home bathroom, with two types of shower heads. The hair dryer was Panasonic and worked fine. I also appreciated that the sleepwear was separated into top and bottom rather than yukata-style robes. One slight downside was finding some hair in the bathroom, tatami room, and bedroom. Since the Room was generally clean otherwise, I personally felt this was within an acceptable range. Also, the provided drinks were black tea (Ceylon tea) rather than green tea. I would have liked Japanese tea—and even instant coffee would have been nice. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and it’s very convenient since Shirarahama Beach and convenience stores are just a short walk away.

We stayed with a family of four and one dog. The Facility was amazing—everything was so well equipped. We had a great time in the full-scale karaoke Room. The sauna Room, large bath, and cold plunge tub were all excellent. The hair dryer and shower head were ReFa. The spacious living room has a projector, so you can enjoy streaming on a big screen or play games like Nintendo Switch. The kitchen is also large and had plenty of dishes, seasonings, and just about everything we needed. There are three toilets, all very modern. For sleeping arrangements, there are two twin-bed Rooms on the first floor, plus one bed in the third-floor loft along with futon sets for larger groups. From the loft you can step out onto the terrace, which also serves as a dog run— we could play with our dog while sitting in chairs and enjoying a beautiful ocean view. There is also a Room for pets. There is another dog run on the first-floor terrace as well. A washing machine and dryer are available too. Near the parking area there was a vending machine Room with various items such as frozen takoyaki and yakitori. The parking area is spacious. The roads are narrow because houses are close together, but even an Alphard could pass through without any issues. The building’s tile exterior was very beautiful as well. Although homes are close together, the neighborhood was quiet and comfortable to stay in. The karaoke Room is soundproofed; we went outside to check just in case, and it was fine. There isn’t a supermarket nearby, so we stopped at one called Picasso on the way to buy groceries—alcohol is available too. We had so much fun that it felt like 10:00 checkout came in no time at all. We had an amazing time overall. Next time we’d love to come back around summer and enjoy a barbecue too! Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for your hospitality. The three of us—my 92-year-old mother, my husband, and I—found and chose this Accommodation online, and everything was excellent. We were able to relax in the renovated Japanese-style Room and bedroom. Although it is an Accommodation where you can stay with your dog, it felt very clean, and it seemed that every corner was thoroughly cleaned. The meals were also very delicious, and the boat platter was more than we could finish. It was disappointing that we couldn’t go cruising due to the typhoon, but since it was before summer vacation there were no crowds, we could get around smoothly, and we fully enjoyed a wonderful trip to Izu. Thank you again. We would love to stay here again.

Although we arrived a little late, we were welcomed warmly. The atmosphere of the building—and that wonderful feeling as we walked down the corridor to our room and were shown inside—was unforgettable. The meals were also excellent; we thoroughly enjoyed ayu, wakasagi, tempura, konjac, and more until we were completely full. We were very satisfied! This is a Ryokan we would definitely like to visit again. We’d love to try wakasagi fishing too.

Our family of three, including our second-grade daughter, stayed here after a day at the beach. We really appreciated being able to use the washing machine and drying area. There’s a convenience store nearby, and Sunset Beach is just a short walk away—it was truly beautiful and moving. Kamo Aquarium is also close by, and it’s about a 40-minute drive to Dewa Sanzan, making the location very convenient. We were very satisfied with the meals as well, and would love to stay again.

We stayed for five nights as a couple. We were able to relax and unwind with a delicious breakfast and a comfortable Room. We also heard that you keep bees, and the honey at breakfast was wonderful. After heading out to the sea and mountains, being able to do laundry and dry it with a dehumidifier was incredibly helpful for a long stay. It was also great to be able to pack our diving gear completely dry. Surrounded by jungle, with fireflies glowing right in front of the Room—it was truly soothing. The owner was very kind, and we had a pleasant stay. Thank you very much. We would love to visit again.

The Facility was impeccably clean, and a wonderful fragrance filled the entire Room. The location was excellent, and during the evening BBQ, we were moved by the sunset sinking behind the sea with Mt. Fuji in the background—it truly helped us unwind from everyday fatigue. Despite being along the coast, the private feel of the location is outstanding. We would love to visit again in summer.

We stayed in a cabin. The facilities were new, very clean, and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked not only with tableware and cooking utensils, but also with consumables such as paper towels and plastic wrap, which was very helpful. In the central plaza, we could borrow items like a frisbee and giant badminton set from the front desk and play. The kids were able to play to their heart’s content and were very happy. As an aside, our whole family loved the scent of the provided hand soap, so we found ourselves washing our hands often.

This was my first time staying here, and thank you very much for your thoughtful care in every detail. The Room was very clean, and I felt comfortable throughout my stay. It was so pleasant that I naturally felt like, “I should leave it clean when I go.” Thanks to you, I was able to refresh both body and mind, and I left feeling truly energized. Thank you for such a wonderful time. I would love to stay again next time, and I look forward to it.

The meals were delicious, just as the reviews said. The hospitable service was also excellent. Being able to rent a car made the trip very comfortable. Thank you very much!

I was thrilled to be upgraded to a Room where I could fish right from the room—it was like a dream come true! The sashimi with the meal was also very fresh, and we were completely satisfied with this Accommodation!

I stayed at the accommodation again this year following last year. The owner warmly said, "Welcome back," and I found myself replying, "I'm back." In the morning, I enjoyed a walk on the private beach right in front of the accommodation, basking in the sunrise and searching for shells. At night, I spent time on the rooftop gazing at the star-filled sky, experiencing a lifestyle I can't usually enjoy. Breakfast was different every morning, and opening the delivered basket became something to look forward to. I highly recommend reserving dinner during your stay. The owner and chef remembered our conversations from last year and even improved upon the ingredients we praised, offering the best hospitality, delicious meals, and enjoyable conversations. This stay gave me the opportunity to reflect on my approach to work, relationships with others, and daily life, making it a truly wonderful vacation. Thank you very much.

Winter crab, early-summer white squid, and the salt-kiln-grilled abalone we always request as an optional add-on. At Waraku, you can enjoy seasonal delicacies throughout the year, but this time we tried their limited-time wild tiger pufferfish course for the first time, available only around Golden Week. We were truly impressed by the depth of Yuhigaura’s seafood. The beautifully presented sashimi platter (tessa) had a pleasantly chewy texture and was so delicious it ranks No. 1 among all the meals we’ve had at accommodations! The grilled milt was also exceptionally large, plump, and rich—perfect with Waraku’s own-label Junmai Daiginjo sake. And in this season especially, the private garden by the detached guest room feels at its most beautiful, with blooming flowers and vivid green moss. Whenever we’re worn out from everyday life and want to relax and feel restored, we always visit Waraku to Clear our minds.

I had dietary requirements, and after informing them in advance, they accommodated me with great care and attention to detail. Every staff member provided excellent service, and I had a very comfortable stay. Thank you very much. This is an Accommodation I definitely want to visit again!

I stayed in Building B, Jihākayā. I love it so much that I’d like to stay long-term. When I finally got to stay at Sachibaru a year and a half ago, it was also in Building B, and I liked it so much that I kept thinking, “I want to go again,” but the timing never worked out and a year and a half passed. Last time, Hamabe no Chaya was being renovated, but this time I was able to have breakfast there! You could spend the whole day there. Of course, Yama no Chaya is wonderful too. I’ll do my best to find another chance to stay again.

A year ago, due to heavy rain, we had to cancel our stay. Amid the lingering summer heat, we revisited after a year. This time, we had the pleasure of staying at a wonderful accommodation for one day. Renting an entire house with a view of Nara's mountains as the backdrop to the dry landscape garden, enjoying an evening beer was the perfect way to conclude summer. For dinner, there was a variety of alcoholic beverages available, and the shabu-shabu by the hearth was absolutely delicious. At night, gazing at a sky full of stars marked the end of our day. Knowing that this accommodation is run by your family made it feel very warm and welcoming during our stay. It was such happiness to spend a day doing nothing but relaxing peacefully— a truly special experience at Sasayuri-an. Thank you so much! We will definitely return again!
