This was the best hotel of my entire trip, Shirahama is gorgeous and this hotel stands as a gem or at least that's how our experience was with it. Staff was friendly, very approachable, room was immaculate, and the most comfortable of all the stays I had on my trip. The hot bath and view were killer and the local food was freshly caught and presented with pride, we paid a little more for this place and our experience, but let me tell you it was worth every penny and I am never going to forget this place.
