"The hotel is located near the Shin-Yuzaki bus stop in Shirahama. It's accessible by walking up a slope. Because of its hillside location, ocean-view rooms offer a great view, overlooking Shirahama Beach. The walk to Shirahama Beach takes about 15 minutes, passing the Shirahama Seafood Market and a FamilyMart convenience store. The hotel has a restaurant, offering a simple but acceptable breakfast, and three set menus for dinner.
The Japanese-style rooms feature twin beds, a tatami mat, and a balcony, perfect for both living and sleeping. The bathrooms have bathtubs and are quite comfortable.
The hotel has a large public bath on the first floor, featuring an indoor hot spring area with a massage area, a hot and cold dual-use pool, and an outdoor soaking pool. There's a dedicated area on the first floor where guests can choose from complimentary yukata robes, coffee and tea bags, and disposable toiletries.
October 4th, Tanabe Beach hosted its annual fireworks festival, and I was able to see the fireworks from the hotel's guest balcony. Upon departure, the front desk helped with luggage storage and taxi hailing. I was very satisfied with my stay."
