3 star hotels in Shirahama

Great hotel in Shirahama, the buffet is great. Different seafood and lots of delicious stuff. Free drinks in different parts of the hotel: beer, wine, coffee and lots of other stuff. Will definitely come back, thanks a lot to the staff!

This hot spring guest house, has many facilities and equipment, very suitable for the whole family to play, we stayed in a five-person room room is really big, dinner chose buffet have many options

This one is not bad. But you would have better with similar price. Another Yukai Resort Senjo is better. With a much better sea view in onsen, better service. Unfortunately, I cannot enjoy the swimming pool in this hotel due to pool is closed.

Everything is satisfactory except that there is no bathing facilities in the room which is a bit inconvenient.

The hotel dinner is a buffet, with a lot of choices and the quality of the food is very fresh. The room we stayed in this time was a sea view room, which was very spacious. Highly recommended for families to experience the experience because there are many entertainment facilities

The hotel has many facilities, such as table tennis, cycling, and children's game facilities. The hot spring has 3 baths. The men's and women's soups will be exchanged in the morning and evening. Breakfast and dinner are also quick

Nice, so confortable and delicous food. Many things to do and free drinks.

great Japanese style rooms, plenty of room. Location is literally on the beach! Lovely hotel with onsens & pool, however pool is closed from 01 Sept for the off season.

This Hotel is a new facilities and traditional style hotel because their room is divide in two part, the first part is western room which have two single bed and other is tatami room. In fact, It have different facilities, such as Large inside and outdoor spa for male and female separately. It also have great area for rest after spa. guest can have free drink and seat in the sofa or tatami seat...

There is a car park. The hot spring is good, with sauna. The rest area provides draft beer and other soft drink. There is a game centre, and staffs are nice.

seems like a all inclusive hotel, all the entertainments are good especially the hot spring natural and soft!

離乳食置いていてすごく助かりました！ 遊ぶところもくつろぐところも多く、 温泉は床が柔らかいので転倒しても大丈夫なのがとても良かったです！

I rarely leave reviews, but this place is truly amazing and I highly recommend it. From the moment you exit the JR station, the service begins. Upon arriving at the hotel, every corner offers beautiful scenery and pleasant surprises. Both dinner and breakfast were wonderfully Japanese, which I loved. My only regret is that the gym's treadmills can't incline, haha, so I was limited to anaerobic workouts

The environment was great, very clean, and the facilities were new. The food was also good. The only issue was a communication problem with a girl during check-in, but everything was resolved afterward. Recommended.

The location is excellent, and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. The hot spring faces the Pacific Ocean, and watching the sunset from there is incredible. The only downside is the hotel food, which really isn't great 😹. I hope they can improve it. I'd definitely consider staying here again if I get the chance.

The hotel has beautiful views and a peaceful environment. The hot spring experience was excellent, clean and comfortable. However, it's located on a mountain, quite far from the city center, which can be inconvenient without a car.

The location is impeccable, truly the best hotel in terms of where it's situated. It has over 30 rooms. The only downside is that the price has been quite high recently. Breakfast is Western-style, and dinner is Japanese. The Japanese dinner was a delightful surprise – Michelin-standard quality.

The Japanese-style room was spacious and comfortable, and it was lovely to sit on the balcony enjoying the sea view 🍵. The Italian dinner and breakfast were exquisite and delicious 😋. The front desk service was very warm and attentive upon check-in.

Arrived here and met a guy called Chishiya, girl Kuina and a couple Arisu and Usagi. We partied and then bad boiz with guns began to fight. Then a game 10 of hearts started and we almost died! Overall, 10/10

I met a guy called the Hatter there. He said we could do anything we want as long as we play some kind of games. Then we played a Game called Witch hunt or something like that. Great experience btw.

it was FANTASTIC!!! i was at the pool area then i realised a game had started.. 10 of hearts? anyways i rushed to the main building and everyone was panicking. I luckily survived though and now i am out of there, living happy in the new world. I love this place because of the memories i made. Partying everyday until the next morning!!!!! BEACH

My husband and I stayed here as a base for golfing and sightseeing in Shirahama, with a plan that included one night and two meals. It was nice that there was a golf course on-site, and on the first day, my husband and I enjoyed playing golf together. The large bath was also a hot spring, and there was an open-air bath, which was great. For dinner, we had a delicious French course meal, and my husband...

It’s quite an imposing place at the beginning. In photos, the hotel seems grand and a feeling of antiqueness to it. Location is out of the tourist-heavy beach but very quiet and adequately well maintained. It’s mid-July now so one would think it is peak season for beach resorts but not at this hotel. Rooms are big with enough amenities to get through the night. Just make sure you have a good meal before...

This hotel is highly recommended if you're visiting Shirahama! 👍👍👍 Facilities: Very complete. Free onsen (hot spring), swimming pool, and gym. Cleanliness: The rooms are clean and the wet and dry areas are separated, making it very convenient. Environment: Excellent! 👍 You can see the sea view every day, which is very pleasant. Service: The hotel service is excellent. They offer Chinese-speaking...

I don't usually write reviews, but I absolutely loved this hotel! Transportation is great; a bus ride from Shirahama Station to Shin-Yuzaki Station takes about 20 minutes. Although the hotel is on a small hill, it's only a two-minute walk, no effort at all. Across the street are the popular Seamore and Key Noodles restaurants, and Sakinoyu is just a short walk away. Because it's built on a hill, the...

The hotel has some history, but is reasonably well-maintained. Located on a slope, it's recommended to drive there, as parking is free. The onsen (hot spring) is excellent; I didn't book breakfast and dinner, so I don't know about them. The rooms are large; I chose the Japanese-style room with two beds, a Japanese-style living room, and a terrace with panoramic views of the beach and distant views...

The transportation is very convenient, the room has a sea view, and it's very comfortable. It's the kind of quiet place I like, and it's convenient for my road trip. I would definitely come again next time.

It's great, the hotel is good value for money, and there's a popular hotel right across the street. A taxi from Shirahama Station cost 2440 yen. By bus, get off at Shin-Yukichi Station on the S19. The nearest convenience store is a bit of a walk from there, at S18-Yukichi Station, where you can also take a highway bus to Osaka. It's located on a small hill, but you get used to it after a while. The...

Excellent hotel, very suitable place for visit Shirhama. Offer all, which is necessary. Very close to city center. Excellent breakfast. Will come back. 

This room has enough space, and it can support whole-family travel. With amazing amenities: you can enjoy private hot spring here!

Spacious room, nice staff, hot bath bit insecure, i can see through the window to the backyard. Spacious carpark. Just lack a sign to find the hotel if u drive / walk

Very nice and friendly staffs, hotel is also located in a good spot.

I had a great experience at the hotel. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful, making my overall stay very pleasant.

Love the view scenery and quiet place, nice atmosphere. Very good service and clean room. Will choose to stay again next time. Recommended!

Perfect location with perfect view. Delicious breakfast. Will visit next time too. Nice staffs.

This is one of the few ryokans that offers in-room dining for both breakfast and dinner. After arriving, they helped move our car and luggage, and everyone was incredibly kind and wonderful. There's a Family Mart next to the ryokan, which is very convenient. ✨ The hot springs were sourced and felt amazing! The bath in our room even had a Miraba bath! In-room dining was extremely convenient for those...

Stayed here for 2 nights with my parents. We all loved Yanagiya. The hotel was in decent condition considering the history. We felt hospitality the moment we stepped out of the free shuttle bus. It was located right across the sea and next to an ancient public Onsen. Don’t miss it if you are interested and it’s super cheap. We had the food inside our room for both breakfast and dinner. No complaint...

The architectural style is as described. It was built in the 1990s and is well preserved. Local people will also find it a relatively economical hotel. The room is not soundproofed. The noise of the children next door will only be quiet after they fall asleep, and the uncle's snoring will accompany you until dawn. There are many front desk staff, who enthusiastically help guests carry luggage, park...

Good staff service. Convenient location. Room has sea view. One night stay and two meals are highly recommended

This was my first time traveling to Wakayama Prefecture. It was also my first time staying at Yanagiya. First, the staff greeted me, and I left my car there and checked in. The staff took my luggage to the room. I went to the hot spring. There was an indoor bath and an open-air bath. I was surprised to see Sekkisei lotion and milk. This was the first time I've stayed at an inn that stocks this product...

Stayed here with my family for a night, the service was exceptional and the bath was very clean and hot. We got ice cream afterwards and it was great! My favorite part was our japanese style room overlooking the beach. Highly recommend! We will come back again next year.

The hotel's location is super convenient; you can take a bus directly from the JR station, and Shirarahama Beach is just across the street. The staff were very welcoming and explained all the facilities. The private onsen rooms are really spacious, offering excellent value for money.

Basic hotel with private hot spring rooms available

I‘ve been there already 3 times. It’s an older hotel but has everything you need and an onsen.  It‘s close to the beach and the orice is reasonable.

I personally love this place. The building is old and probably not for everyone, but the onsen is amazing and authentic. The atmosphere feels like an old-style Japanese holiday, just like my childhood memories. The restaurant is closed now, but the kitchen is open for guests. We bought ingredients and cooked ourselves. It was a perfect, relaxing stay with nothing special to do but unwind.

Good location which is just a min walk to the beach.  Spacious room with private hot spring in room

Kind of old school, hard to comment~

I was surprised to see black algae floating in the bathwater, but after researching, I learned that it's also a type of mineral deposit. I had mistakenly thought it was only white, sulfurous deposits. It's iron and zinc that have oxidized, resulting in a slimy, black or reddish-brown substance floating and settling. They should put up a sign saying that it's not due to poor cleaning and that people...

The location is great, with a direct bus connection, though you do have to walk up some stairs. The room is spacious and well-equipped, and the hot spring bath is very clean. It's a 15-minute walk to a 24-hour supermarket, and Shirahama Beach is right downstairs. It's a room with an ocean view.

Aside from having to carry luggage uphill for a bit after getting off the car, everything else was impeccable. The views, including both sea and cityscapes, were perfectly situated. There's an izakaya across the street that's also excellent and worth trying. The beaches on either side are only about two to three hundred meters away on foot.

It's a members-only hotel. I've stayed there several times. I love the hot springs ♨️. I cook my own dinner and breakfast, and I enjoy cooking and eating them.

Location: Superb location, even closer to the sea than the Marriott on the map. The bus stop is right down the hill. You get a direct sea view from the window. Good points: The AC works well. There were quite a few bugs, but luckily they were all outside the screen window. Downsides: 1) The public bath changing room requires you to be barefoot, and the floor was a bit cold. 2) The room's decor was...

October 8-10, 2025 (2-night stay) The spacious living/dining room and bedroom have a full kitchen, and are equipped with a bathroom, toilet, and washing machine. Being on the first floor, there was also a spacious terrace. The large public bath has two indoor baths and a dry sauna, as well as an open-air bath. The sauna is a single-tiered seating area for 3 people, with a room temperature of 96℃ and...

The hotel is a bit old, but some rooms have been renovated. Overall, it's still very good, and the meal arrangements were quite nice. I'd come back again if I have the chance; it was a wonderful memory and trip.

The hotel's location is excellent, making it very convenient to get to all the main attractions. The surrounding scenery of the hotel itself is also beautiful, and the facilities offer a great experience. While the dining options are quite varied, the Japanese cuisine isn't among the best, and the ingredient selection is just average. There are some seafood restaurants nearby that can offer a good...

The room was quite small, and the air conditioning vent was dirty. Overall, the value for money was just average.

I booked a deluxe sea-view room, and it was absolutely beautiful, facing the ocean. The location is super convenient, right near a bus stop. The bakery downstairs at the hotel has delicious bread! It's a shame I didn't get to try the hot springs this time, but I'll definitely be back.

I booked a Western-style room, not facing the sea. The hotel is conveniently located right by the station, but the supermarket is a bit of a walk. The horrifying part was when I pulled the curtain on the day I checked in, and a cockroach fell out – it scared me to death! I immediately contacted the front desk, and they came to exterminate it, spraying insecticide everywhere, which thankfully solved...

Everything is fine! Location, Onsen, breakfasts and dinners, pool, 2nd floor with entertainments, beds, front desk staff… one thing should be fixed! Rooms are tired. Dirty carpets, walls etc

I've never stayed in a Japanese-style room before, so I decided to give it a try this time! The hotel is great, with an excellent location right by a bus stop, making it convenient to get anywhere. Stepping out, you're greeted by the sea and beach, offering absolutely stunning views. The staff were very friendly, and there was even a lady who spoke Chinese! As soon as we got off the bus, a staff member...

We booked a twin room in a Western-style house for our wedding anniversary, and they gave us a fantastic spot with a great view. They also gifted us two cute coasters. The location is super convenient, close to everything. I'm not sure about the onsen, but my husband said it was excellent. I was very satisfied with the room; every detail was well thought out. The Chinese-speaking staff member was also...

Hotel room is very spacious. The best thing about this hotel is the service by the staff. When I first got off the public bus and started walking up the slope with my luggage, the hotel staff run out from the hotel, and help me with my luggage. After checking in, there was a staff who come to the room at 530pm to set up the futon beds for us. For a small fee, you can n actually get the staff to cut...

The service is excellent. When I drive into the driveway, the staff greeted me and parked the car for me. Friendly staff. The room is excellent, v spacious for 2 persons. The shower and rest area faces the sea, excellent sea view. The breakfast offers many local japanese dishes which allows us to try typical Japanese breakfast. Would definitely recommend the hotel.

The hotel is super close to the beach, perfect for swimming. You can just wear your swimsuit straight to the water, and then rinse off at the outdoor shower right at the hotel entrance. The staff even brought us dry towels, which was a really thoughtful touch. The sea view from the room was great too, and the room itself was spacious and comfortable.

I had a wonderful stay here and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Shirahama for a relaxing getaway. First off, the location is fantastic. The bus stop is right in front of the hotel, and after taking bus #12 from Shirahama JR Station, you get off directly at the hotel. The hotel staff are very welcoming and were at the entrance to help with luggage – super friendly! Across the street from the...

The "King's Buffet" at Kawakyuu is the real deal! We had both breakfast and dinner, and both were excellent. There's a great selection of Japanese and Western dishes. It's said that many Japanese hotels are known for their individual curry recipe, and Kawakyuu's - a deep, demi-glace based gravy with large chunks of tender-stewed beef - was delicious. The onsen was also very refined, with relaxing...

Everything was great, thank you very much.

I thought there were not enough electrical outlets.

The view from the 8th floor was great. I was concerned about stains on the carpet and bald spots due to aging facilities. I don't like the fact that there are metal fittings without any paintings. The toilet paper is not folded in a triangle, and the hotel should do this as a sign of hospitality without being misled by various theories. The food was also delicious. However, it was unfortunate that...

The hardware facilities of the rooms in hotels built more than 30 years ago are a little nostalgic, but you can imagine the luxury of the time. Overall, it is not bad. The basic rooms are very large. I booked a basic room, but I want to emphasize that the main feature of Kawakyu Hotel should be the breakfast and dinner buffet. The dinner buffet is great!!! When booking a room, you need to confirm whether...

The facilities and service were excellent. Thank you!

This is an inn where you can relax. It's close to tourist attractions, but in a quiet place, so I thought it was a great location. The food was delicious, and the hot springs were very relaxing. The tub bath in the room was also fresh and felt great! The open-air bath had a great view! It's on a hill with a great view, and when you move from the indoor bath to the open-air bath, you can get a glimpse...

The room comes with a small open-air tub bath. It might be a little small for larger people. The food was delicious. The views from the rooftop bath and open-air bath were amazing! It was a proper hot spring, but maybe the tub bath in the room is different?

I stayed in a twin room without meals. My room was room 313. The moment I entered the room, I noticed a faint smell of cigarette smoke. It seems the smell from the former smoking room hasn't completely disappeared. It's something you get used to after a while, but I noticed it every time I entered the room. When booking, I asked the front desk if I could request a non-smoking room, but the current...

Although the location is relatively remote, it is very convenient to drive in and out, and there is a parking lot, which is very convenient for self-driving tours. The room is also spacious and open, and the bathroom is also large! The room has a nostalgic atmosphere, although it has seen some days but it is still OK. The most heartwarming thing is that there is a large massage chair in the room to...

The hotel is located a bit out of the way. There are no convenience stores or restaurants nearby. If you plan to rent a car and stay there, I highly recommend it. If you plan to use public transportation by walking, you will have to walk about 15 minutes to the bus stop. Consider this. The outdoor pool is not that big, but it was comfortable for families to swim in, and the rooftop bath was cheap and...

Driving is recommended for visiting Shirahama. The hotel is very close to the three main scenic spots of Shirahama (Engetsujima Island, Senjojiki, and Sandanbeki), each a few minutes to ten minutes' drive away. The hotel rooms were clean; we stayed in a Japanese-style room. Meals included, and dinner and breakfast were delicious. The staff were friendly.

The hotel is right beside the train station. The room is big and clean. The boss is very friendly. I will come back one day.

i really enjoy the wonderful onsen within the hotel. It has both private and public onsen. What an extraordinary experience in winter. Room is very clean and sizeable with sea view. The hotel also offers free flow wine from 7pm to 9pm to chill out. Highly recommended.

Located just a minute's walk from the station, the room was simple but well-maintained, and the owner's service was excellent. It was a very pleasant stay. Even though it was right next to the train tracks, it was quiet and I slept very well. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Although we hadn't made a reservation for breakfast, it was still served and the warm atmosphere made it a very enjoyable experience!!!

I don’t know if it was Ctrip or the store that made a mistake in the order. All in all, they told me on site that the orders for two obviously different rooms were the same. Then they said that other guests had changed with us. As a result, there were only four of us that night All in all, it's very poor. The service attitude is also very poor.

you can arrive at senjojiki two min. If you have dinner at しらはま銀座and walk back, you can reach the hotel in about 15 minutes. This is a quiet and relaxing hotel.

Suited me perfectly, no frills in a great location, but it ticked all the boxes for me. They have a fantastic open-air hot spring, too.

I come to Wakayama every month, and this is always my go-to hotel. The reasons are its fantastic location, spacious parking, a wonderful onsen, and complimentary breakfast. Plus, it's very affordable! The only downside is that the toilets and washbasins are shared facilities located in the hallway on each floor, not available en-suite.

Pros: 1. Excellent value for money. 2. There's a bus stop (for Senjojiki-guchi and Sohara-no-yu) and a ramen shop (serving decent food) conveniently located right in front of the hotel. Additionally, a truly delicious sea bream dandan noodle shop called "Dakishime Tai" is just a 600m walk away – the Japanese wordplay on its name is absolutely hilarious! 3. The hotel features an outdoor bath (rotenburo...

The room was a bit small, and the bathroom was shared. However, the hot springs, with both indoor and outdoor baths, were a real highlight! Senjojiki is conveniently located just 200-300 meters to the right, offering breathtaking sunset ocean views. It's also very close to Sandanbeki.

The room was small but spotless. Do note that the bathroom is shared – if that's a deal-breaker, you might want to consider other options. The hot spring, however, was fantastic; I absolutely loved it!

The floor of the breakfast room clearly hadn't been swept. The view was nice. It felt about right for the price.

The sea is close by, just a 10-15 minute walk away, so it was great.

We used this hotel for sightseeing in Shirahama. Since it was during the Obon holiday period, other hotels were extremely expensive, so we chose this relatively inexpensive hotel. The location was superb, offering a panoramic view of Shirahama, and the ocean-view bath with a jacuzzi was fantastic. On the other hand, the overall atmosphere was exactly like a love hotel. The bed had a wooden edge, so...

The rooms are a little dated, but they are comfortable beds and a jacuzzi, breakfast is great and the staff is fantastic

Not a bad budget hotel, breakfasts are the same every day, but delicious. The hotel has its own onsen. A 15-minute walk to the excellent beach with Australian sand. Recommended

There is a bus stop just a few dozen meters away from the hotel, making transportation convenient. The most satisfying thing about the hotel is that there is a jacuzzi. It is really comfortable to take a bath when you come back. The waiters seemed to be all Southeast Asians, and there was generally no one at the front desk. I didn’t know who to ask if I wanted to store my luggage, so I took it to the...

I used this hotel for a cycling trip. I was able to park my bicycle in the covered parking area of ​​the annex. However, I couldn't use a lock to secure it to the ground. The bath is a large public bath with hot spring water. There is one coin-operated laundry machine. There's a convenience store about a 10-minute walk away. The walk is uphill and difficult. There's a shared bicycle service called...

It was in a private house and was a quiet place. It was a Japanese-style room, but it was spacious enough for two people. There was also a large bath, so we were able to relax.

The hotel is on the mountain and far from the city. It is convenient for self-driving tours.

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The pool was dirty, we had to clean it up ourselves to enjoy it.

The room is a good size and clean. You can see a little sea view from the window. You have to go to the public bath for bathing. The service staff is very kind. For transportation, you need to take a taxi or drive by yourself. If there are no special attractions around, you basically need to take a taxi. The restaurant sells all kinds of homemade and delicious bread, simple drinks, and there are no...
