I really enjoyed my stay here! It’s a simple old Japanese style house, turned guesthouse. It was a quite and comfortable stay- with everything you needed. Yes the shower was installed outside but I had no problems using it, plus there are several great onsens near by if you’d rather bathe there! The kitchen was well equipped as I cooked a few meals :) location is close to everything, the white sand beach was a 5/10 minute walk, delicious coffee shop right around the corner, and there is a nice little public foot onsen also just around the corner. i found the owner to be super nice and friendly and had great...
