Thank you from the bottom of my heart. There was only one reason I came to Shirahama: To stay at Kuroshio Sou. When people think of Shirahama, many picture the sea and resorts. But what I found here was Wakayama itself. What moved me most at this Accommodation was not only how outstanding the food was. It was Head Chef Etani’s exceptional skill, and his deep respect for the producers who support every single dish. Fishermen. Farmers. Brewers. Roasters. And the artisans who continue to protect Japan’s fermentation culture. The moment I saw the map of producers introduced alongside the meal, I understood what this Accommodation truly values. Through the cuisine, you encounter not only ingredients, but also the people behind them and Wakayama’s climate and character. I was especially impressed by how delicious the soy sauce and Kinzanji miso were at dinner. When I asked about them, I learned they were from Horigawaya Nomura—a producer with over 350 years of history that still preserves traditional craftsmanship using firewood-heated iron kettles—making both their soy sauce and Kinzanji miso in that way today as well. I had originally planned to visit a different soy sauce brewery, but heavy rain made it impossible. Sometimes, the places you cannot reach end up guiding you to the story you were truly meant to find. For me, Kuroshio Sou was exactly that kind of place. The wonderful Onsen gently healed not only my body, but my mind as well. The quiet comfort throughout the building, Chef Etani’s cuisine, and the hospitality of all staff— together they quietly express this Accommodation’s philosophy in everything it does。 As a former chef from Tasmania, there is something I felt deeply: True hospitality is not just serving delicious food; it is helping guests connect with the people and culture that sustain a place。 I now have one more reason to return to Wakayama。 Thank you again from my heart.

It was a very satisfying trip to Shirahama. This Accommodation is in an excellent location, close to Shirarahama Beach. The Room was thoroughly cleaned, and we were very satisfied. We love Onsen, so we were happy with the large public bath here. The food was delicious as well. All the staff were attentive and helpful—thank you very much. It was an Accommodation that exceeded its price. We were also blessed with good weather and could relax at our leisure. It’s an Accommodation that makes us want to come again.

Having seen it on TV beforehand, I was truly impressed by the building and furnishings that reflect the founder's aesthetic sense, as well as the stunning art pieces by Yokoyama Taikan, Hirayama Ikuo, Dali, Chagall, and more. The gold-leaf ceiling and Italian tile floors were abs

The stargazing under a dark sky without any lights was breathtaking—the best starry sky we've ever seen in our lives. Watching shooting stars from the bath was extraordinary; both of us were left speechless and could only keep saying how amazing it all was. We also enjoyed a hea

It was our first visit, and we are truly grateful for the relaxing, delicious, and pleasant time that exceeded our expectations. The Hotel staff were all very friendly and attentive, and we are so glad we chose to come here. The scenery was stunning, and the amenities, cuisine, a

Although a typhoon was approaching and it looked like rain, it didn’t rain much, and we were able to see a wonderful sunset from the restaurant. The view from the large public bath was also amazing. The meals, made with ingredients from Wakayama, were all delicious. It was disapp

The view from the window was breathtaking, and we were able to enjoy a truly luxurious time. The sunset in particular was stunning—better than we had imagined. We would definitely like to stay again.

It was so beautiful and overwhelming—an exquisite moment that looked like it had been captured by a professional photographer. In that instant, I understood why this Hotel was built in this location and facing this direction. The staff were kind and attentive as well—thank you

We stayed with our children and grandchildren to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday. Not only was the Facility beautiful and wonderful, but all of the staff were kind and greeted us with warm smiles, which made our stay very pleasant. Thank you very much. However, our grandchildren got extremely excited and were quite noisy during meals, so if we made other guests uncomfortable, we sincerely apologize… To everyone who stayed on the same day—sorry! Our grandchildren seemed to have a great time as well, and our whole family was very satisfied with our stay… We’re sorry—and thank you again. It was a Hotel we’d want to visit again and again.

We stayed from the 15th to the 16th. The hospitality and service were outstanding, and everyone’s smiles were wonderful. The ocean is right in front of you, just a short walk away, and the view was amazing—almost like Hawaii. Dinner was delicious, and the breakfast buffet was exc

Walking barefoot on the tatami-covered floors throughout the facility felt wonderful. The room and bath were clean and well-maintained. We received matching handkerchiefs as a couple to celebrate our anniversary, which made us very happy—thank you so much! Upon arrival, we

The breathtaking horizon and the infinity pool were just as expected. The tatami-matted floor by the window was perfect for lying down and relaxing while enjoying the sunset from the room. Dinner was served on a tray, and though the portion was slightly modest, I wished I cou

This was our third stay, and the free-flowing Onsen with no added water is outstanding. One of the highlights is being able to relax together as a couple in the private bath. Breakfast was delicious both to look at and to eat, and we were completely full. The parking lot is spacious, the location is great, and we love the views from the Room—Shirarahama Beach, sunsets, and more. We’d like to visit again when we can find the time.

Dinner was very delicious. I wish breakfast had included items like an Onsen egg. The staff were also very friendly, and I would like to stay here again.

It was very clean and comfortable! The meals were delicious, and we had a pleasant stay. Please note that the toilet and washbasin are located outside the Room, and bathing is available only in the large public bath (15:00–23:00), so it may not be suitable for those who want a morning bath or shower. There is an ice machine and a microwave on the floor. Also, the refrigerator includes a freezer compartment, which was helpful for freezing ice packs.

The Facility is old, but it is kept very clean. We stayed in a Room with an open-air bath, and the veranda has a slatted floor, so you don’t have to worry about it being wet after bathing—it’s a very well-designed layout. I enjoyed using the open-air bath many times. Despite the good amenities and the convenient location right in front of Shirarahama Beach, it was reasonably priced. My wife liked it very much as well, so I think we will visit again.

Thank you for taking care of us during our visit home to my parents. 　 When I made the Reservation, I didn’t know there would be a fireworks festival on our stay date, and only realized it the day before. I called to ask about traffic restrictions, and your staff explained everything very kindly, which allowed us to head there with peace of mind. 　 At check-in, the parking area and how to use the Facility were explained clearly, and we also received helpful advice related to the fireworks festival. The service was very pleasant. I also accidentally left my car key at the counter, but you went out of your way to find it and bring it back to me—thank you very much. 　 The Room was spacious and well maintained, so we were able to stay comfortably. However, since it is a pension-style Accommodation, soundproofing is slightly weak. We could hear children from a family staying upstairs running around. The noise continued past the designated quiet time (10:00 PM), so I informed a staff member; after a while it quieted down, so I believe you took some kind of action. 　 The location is convenient: there is a 24-hour supermarket nearby as well as public baths and restaurants, so even with No Meals Included we had no trouble at all. Cooking utensils, tableware, and an IH cooktop are fully provided as well, so self-catering is not an issue. 　 Shirarahama Beach is about a 5-minute walk away, making it easy to go swimming in the sea. We were able to watch the fireworks up close that day and were extremely satisfied. 　 This was an Accommodation I would like to use again when I have another chance. Thank you very much!

Relax in a well-equipped, stylish, and spacious living room, enjoy BBQ on the terrace with a sea view, and spend comfortable moments in the cozy bedrooms for an unforgettable family time. The bathroom is spacious as well, offering an Onsen-like experience. This accommodation provides everything you need for a perfect stay.

While planning a trip to Wakayama, I was drawn to a cute log house Stays and decided to book it. The log house, the surrounding greenery, the location with a view of the sea, and the many knick-knacks from around the log house to the interior, everything is fun and exciting to look at. Above all, the owner's bright personality and cute smile are the best. At night, the most memorable moment was chatting with the owner at a dimly lit bar-style counter with jazz playing, while enjoying a handmade plum juice welcome drink. In the morning, breakfast on the terrace with a view of the sea. With tourist spots like Senjojiki, Onsen, and Shirarahama nearby, it turned out to be a wonderful trip to Wakayama. Thank you very much!

For a Room of this grade with an open-air bath and two meals included at this price, I personally have no complaints. If I had to mention one drawback, I could hear conversations from the neighboring Room quite clearly.
