Beach Side Inn Shirahama - Shimoda (Shizuoka)

adorable, adorable, adorable

The small double room I stayed in was very cute and impeccably clean, with the sound of the waves lulling me to sleep. Waking up to a lovely vegetarian sandwich breakfast was such a treat, especially after relaxing in the stone onsen while gazing at the stars. The beach access was fantastic!

strongly recommend 😊❤️

rooms were impressive and bed was comfy, staff were incredibly attentive.

The room was big with climate control, multi-channel TV, and a fridge.

A lot of goodies for breakfast.

The outdoor onsen with soothing night views was a good way to unwind. The breakfast bags were not only nostalgic but also perfect for our morning beach adventures.

The room was clean and exceptionally nice with an exceptionally comfortable bed and a shower, hairdryers, and bath sheets in the bathroom. The rate was US$ 9106. The location was marvellous for us as it was next to beach and Shirahama shrine, restaurants nearby, and cafes.

There are two separate buildings with different room types, which can be inconvenient for families needing to stay close together. The steep, short stairs are a challenge, especially for those with disabilities or young children, requiring some effort to navigate. Thin walls are another concern. While quiet hours are maintained, noise from neighboring rooms can be an issue if you're sensitive to sounds.

The only redeeming quality was my twin room, prety clean. Don't even get me started on the steep stairs, it's clearly an ordeal for anyone. As an indulgent guest, i expected complimentary drinks after such a hassle but was sorely disappointed. I almost gave a good review but just couldn't, it was that bad.

The Small Double Room was super cute and clean. I loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves at night. The simple bathroom was fine, and the room had everything we needed. It felt cozy for a couple. Plus, the private onsen was a perfect add-on for some romantic stargazing. Just keep in mind the stairs can be a bit tricky!

Private onsen experience

The hotel's location was perfect, just a 3-minute walk from the beach and conveniently across the street from a picturesque shrine. There was also a Family Mart just a 5-minute stroll away. The private outdoor onsen provided a relaxing experience for the entire family after a day at the beach.

Stairs can be tricky for those with young children, so pack light.

Just a smart choice for a cursory stop in Shimoda with good price value. We really enjoyed the beach access , made mornings super easy. Stairs can be tricky, so pack light for your stay.

The private onsen was excellent. The simple breakfast bag, containing a sandwich, was a good start to my day. Just a short walk to the beautiful beach!

No complaints, just a very short stay.

Charming Stay with Beach Access

Absolutely enjoyed the cozy small double room, perfect for couples. The outdoor onsen provided a romantic setting, especially under the stars. Remember to explore the nearby shrine. It's a lovely walk. The breakfast options hit the spot before heading to the beach. Pack light due to steep stairs.

Great location near the beach, relaxing outdoor onsen, friendly and helpful staff, comfortable rooms with nice amenities.

Felt welcomed, no reason to complain.

They serve delicious take-out breakfast in a paper bag, perfect to enjoy outside, and include a hard-boiled egg.
