Minshuku Inn Shirahama Ekinoyado — Hotel in Shirahama

My ageing mother had difficulty moving about as the place is narrow and the furnitures are low, so it was inconvenient for her, especially after a day of travelling. The shower hot and cold valves are unpredictable and it takes a few minutes in order to get the temperature right. By then the bathroom walls would be all wet. The bathroom door is also translucent, so you don't actually get the standard privacy you would normally get with bathroom doors. The water valves for the hot and cold tap are difficult to turn, sometimes it gets stuck and we can't turn it off completely. The bathroom is small and narrow. The place looks nice but it isn't optimized function-wise. I.e. bedside stand is small, no charging port.

Location is great due to it's close proximity to the station, and there are vending machines for warm food and drinks inside the station's waiting room that is open for 24 hours. Overall it's an okay place to not have to spend the night out in the cold. If you're looking to experience traditional and authentic Japanese feel, this place is pretty good though as it's very traditional and old school and it's...

😊: The hotel is an amazing hotel. The rooms were very nice and the bed was very comfortable. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone who wants to stay in Shirahama. It is very easy to find from the station, simply walk out the ticket gate and turn right and it is in front of you.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The water in the sink in the room is drinking water so you can fill the provided kettle up from the room. There is also a bread bin with a fridge and TV.

The bath is outside so you can have a bath and enjoy the night sky and watch the stars. The bath is covered from the outside to provide privacy so you can relax in the bath and enjoy the view.

There is very little street lighting around the area so on a clear day/night, you can see many stars😁. 😢: There is nothing I didn't like, it was an exceptional stay. Thank...
