5 star hotels in Shirahama

The main picture is misleading! I couldn't find the hotel after getting off the train. The first attached picture is what it actually looks like! Exit Tottori Station North Exit, and it's diagonally opposite on your left. Look for a large '由' character on the roof; the tall building to its left is the hotel. The front desk was decent, and simple English communication was possible. According to the...

Honestly, I booked this hotel specifically for the rooftop view, and the white sand beach of Shirahama definitely didn't disappoint! Plus, the hotel rooms are quite spacious, which is a rarity in Japan, making for a really great stay!

The hotel is very close to Shirahama Beach, just down a steep slope. The rooms are spacious with great views and new facilities. They offer a free shuttle bus, and the staff are warm and polite. Overall, a fantastic stay.

I saw comments when booking that mentioned a difficult slope leading to the hotel, which made me hesitate whether to change my reservation. I'm glad I didn't. While there is a slope to the hotel, it's not as daunting as some online reviews made it out to be. The Marriott's facilities and services are excellent. The bellhop at the hotel entrance was very welcoming and enthusiastic. The Western-style...

The sea view room offers excellent scenery. Reviews mentioned an uphill walk to the hotel, so we took a taxi with our luggage. Without luggage, walking was fine. The hotel offers bike rentals, and cycling along the coastline for a day was truly wonderful.

I was in Osaka for the weekend and decided to take a spontaneous trip to Wakayama and Shirahama. To my surprise, hotel prices in Shirahama had significantly increased, and some were even fully booked. I figured it might be due to Halloween. The Shirahama Marriott is one of the few international chain hotels in Wakayama, located right next to the famous Shirarahama Beach. The price wasn't too outrageous...

This is an excellent hotel with a unique mixed sex onsen facing the ocean with sunset view in addition to free private onsens as well as public sex-separated onsens! The room view overlooks the sea as well as Engetsu Island. Dinner and breakfast are excellent! Strongly recommend!

The hotel facility is excellent and perfectly clean with a high-class traditional japanese service standard. Our room was a deluxe room with private hot spring tub. It's a little pricy while I think it's perfect to celebrate the anniversary with my wife. Dinner and breakfast were good, while it may not be the best comparing with other hotels in the major cities. The sightseeing points are also within...

This is a very typical Japanese hotel with traditional Japanese service. The four hot spring baths are perfect for anyone who enjoys soaking. The rooms are good and the facilities are complete. However, the breakfast was very, very mediocre.

Fantastic hotel. The entire stay was amazing. The hot springs and well maintained with so many options to choose from. In the evenings they have free beverages as well as late night ramen after dinner which is nice. But the lines can get a bit crowded. Not a deal breaker. Staff is super friendly and some of them speak English pretty well or use translate tools. They also have laundry machines to run...

This is my second time here, and I feel the service wasn't as good as my last visit. Last time, someone even escorted me to my room, but this time it felt more like a streamlined process. They offer free beer from 3-5 PM, so you can check in a bit early, grab a drink, and then head out. It's a bit of a walk to Shirahama Beach, but it's manageable. However, the views are truly breathtaking. Even though...

It was a truly magical experience, made even better by the hotel’s very supportive staff. The room was comfortable, and the sea views were breathtaking. The hotel provided both indoor and outdoor natural hot springs. We also tried the dinner set, and both the food quality and service exceeded our expectations.

located at mountain top with free car parking, good for self driving trip, room size is big with good view and equipment is bit old but well kept, good real hot spring, dinner and breakfast is above average, bedding is comfortable

I have completed a self-driving tour in Japan with the Sanbaibing Hotel. The hotel I chose today is a hot spring resort hotel with dinner and breakfast. The price is not cheap. The room is a sea view room with a nice view and a large room. Although the hotel is quite old, it is still clean and tidy. The buffet food in the evening is of good variety, taste and ingredients. The price is worth it. There...

This is a well-established hot spring hotel in a small town. There are no major issues with it. It's been around for decades and is well-maintained. The only downside is that it's located on a hillside, making it a little inconvenient to get in and out, and the bed is too hard.

This was my second stay at this hot spring resort hotel. While the facilities are a bit dated, the service was still excellent. The neon lights at night create a beautiful night view. It was raining a bit on the day we checked in, so we only had a short soak in the outdoor hot spring.

The room was large and had a great view—it was an ocean view room—and the food was excellent. There was even a bathtub in the room 🛁. I originally wanted to rent an electric bike, but the Gogo app isn't available on Chinese phones. I think they should offer a cash payment option. That would be more user-friendly.

There are open-air hot springs, a swimming pool in summer, and a buffet at this price.

awesome location, awesome onsen, we book a traditional japanese room with ocean view, it was fantastic

The hotel facilities are a bit dated, but well-maintained. The white sand beach right outside is absolutely beautiful, and I heard the sand was actually imported from Australia! The half-board (dinner and breakfast) was decent, nothing spectacular but no complaints either.

Right by the beach, I felt incredibly comfortable, and it's super convenient for transport. The whole experience was perfect for just chilling out. I passed by other hotels, but I think this one offers the best value for money.

This hotel is perfect for a vacation! The service is excellent, and the environment is lovely. They offer complimentary coffee, drinks, and even alcohol. The hot springs are also very clean. Plus, the prices inside are quite reasonable.

The hotel's location is perfect, within walking distance to all the attractions and popular restaurants! It would be an absolutely stunning vacation spot, especially in the summer! I highly recommend checking out Omsake nearby.

We later stayed at Taoya in Nachikatsuura, and Shirahama-so definitely offers superior value for money. The location is also excellent, with the beach right outside the lobby. The half-board meals (dinner and breakfast) were delicious; I personally prefer the exquisite Japanese-style set meals.

This is a must place to visit/stay when you are around Osaka. 2 hr drive from Osaka but definitely worth the trip! Superb staff and management! Super clean and comfortable in every sense! Includes private dining for both breakfast and dinner. Dinner is served as multi-course meal - which was AWESOME! Private natural hot springs bath overlooking the ocean (ocean is literally few steps from the...

It is an amazing and unique place. We really enjoyed our two nights stay there and I would definitely recommend XYZ to everyone. Privately served meals were amazing and amount of food… you could easily feed a family of four! Thanks to all staff, you are the best.

The ocean view right in front of the hotel was incredibly beautiful, and I was so moved by the sky full of stars at night. I even saw a shooting star! Thank you so much. I will definitely stay here again.

Excellent sea view from the hotel room, nice gas check in on the time.

Excellent sea view from the hotel room, nice gas check in on the time.

Great, beautiful environment, delicious food, I will come again next time

The room we chose was fantastic! It had a private tub, so we could enjoy a hot spring bath right in our room. Both breakfast and dinner were incredibly generous. The staff provided excellent service, and there was free parking available. Best of all, the hotel room was literally two steps away from a staircase that led directly to the beach, making it feel like our own private beach 🏖️

The place is a bit remote, the store facilities are insufficient (including catering), or it is more suitable to come here in summer!

I don't know if it was too late to get there, at 4 o'clock I went to the outmost room given to me, looking out the view will see a little withered leaves on the left, but it's beautiful! The Dinner Set was delicious at night. After dinner, we went back to our room and had a light show to watch. Except the location is really good in Osaka drove 2 hours or so into, the others are very good 👍🏻

Shirahama's preferred hot spring private room

The service is really good and the equipment is thoughtful, especially suitable for anniversary celebrations

The 1-berth and 2-food arrangement is very rich and comfortable. Even if it rains heavily, I waited until my family arrived. It is very considerate. There is a supermarket 10 minutes away by car. It is very relaxing to soak in the hot spring while looking at the sea view. 😎
