Spa Hotels in Shirahama

„Pros: •I don't see the point in just choosing a room here. Be sure to get a superior Japanese-style room with an open air bath or even a bungalow, and definitely one with a sea view. Then you're guaranteed a complete experience. •The hotel welcomes guests barefoot or in socks on tatami mats, a very pleasant and authentic experience. •VIEWS!! Gorgeous panoramic views of the ocean. •This is a traditional ryokan, so tattoos are not allowed, BUT I was immediately given tape to cover up the tattoos on my arms, and everything was fine. •Delicious food, lots of delicious food! The breakfasts are especially amazing. •The hotel offers a lot of complimentary drinks, and the after-onsen area has free ice cream and cold water. They serve local ramen from 10-11 PM also complementary. •All the onsen are very clean and cool. Especially the male and female one, built into a cliff right on the ocean shore, has a view. By the way, they provide special clothing, so if you're shy, don't worry. •There were no stink bugs. It's important to understand that this is nature, and insects are normal. Cons: •Despite the fact that many foreigners stay here, there's almost no English navigation and the staff speaks very little English. •There are only two private onsen, and the ryokan is huge; it was easiest to get the key to the private ones in the evening. •The main dishes at the kaiseki dinner were surprisingly disappointing (dry rice and tasteless noodles), although the other dishes were very good. •The onsen are closed from 10:00 to 15:00, so there's nothing to do during these 5 hours, especially if the weather is bad 😭 •The ryokan doesn't offer food other than breakfast and dinner and don’t have a restaurant, so if it rains or a typhoon, you'll have to go outside the hotel to find food. Conclusion: If this is your first ryokan, it's probably better to choose a more tourist-oriented one. If you want to fully immerse yourself in onsen culture and be captivated by the ocean, this is a great choice ☺️”

„Overall was a good experience and nice environment, food was good. Improvement:- It will be good to have buggy service for customers regardless of time as some of us may have big and many luggages to carry by hand to the room. It will be better to have more different variety and choice of dinner food the next day,  as we were dining two days with almost same food.”

„A private hot spring bath is superb in the room for relaxation. Friendly front desk reception staff Victor is helpful.”

„我們由紀伊田邊駅搭巴士 就一車到酒店對面 一入到酒店又香香的木味 雖然酒店已有多年歷史 但是仍保持清潔 這酒店的重點是他的自助晚餐和自助早餐 簡直要住幾天，才能食齊所有的食物 真的超級多款式，而且每樣都很好味 還有自助餐中，居然有燒肉放題 超級讚賞”

„外景絕佳，就是坐公交車到大浦站要自己拖箱子上山路走一點，或趕六點在白濱站的迎送巴士。可以事先查一下迎送巴士的時刻表，最晚一班好像是下午五點多。衞生設備有些老舊，別的服務都不錯，國人減少，大多都是日本家庭帶孩子來玩的多。室內游泳池有點小，大多是娃娃們的主場。早餐還行，能吃飽，就一般的酒店自助早餐吧，不過他們這邊有明太子和金槍魚肉。回程讓酒店定了出租車去機場，10分鐘就到了。這邊離白良濱和千疊敷，三段壁有點距離，做公交去最好拿一張時刻表，準備好零錢。”
