    Perfect Beach Stop. Great location near to so many stunning beaches. Food was great in cafe and staff friendly and helpful.. Well worth a visit. We had 2 nights break after a fairly intense travelling schedule. Perfect. 👌

    It's sooo close to the most beautiful beach I've been to in Japan. You can go surfing if you like, even rent surfboards. The staff is very friendly, the house is nice, it has a restaurant and bar.

    A fantastic location at 1 mn walk from a wonderful beach, great meal and service, a must!

    If you don't have a car, be aware that buses don't stop often at the station in front of the guesthouse. Tip: A 10-minute walk will take you to a station with much more frequent service to Shimoda (otherwise it's a 45-minute walk from the guesthouse to Shimoda).

    The guesthouse is wonderful, very relaxing, with very clean rooms and super-friendly hosts! It's only a 1-minute walk from the beautiful Ohama Kisima beach. The meals are excellent and it's possible to have breakfast in the morning waiting for you in a basket in the room, great!

    I came for the first time 4 years ago, and since then every time I come to Shimoda, I stay here, the cleanliness is impeccable and the best of all is that you can walk to the sea, they also have a cafe restaurant , with delicious snacks and appetizers, it's worth checking out, you'll fall in love with this wonderful place.

    Maybe there could be a small cabinet to put clothes in, etc. as staying more than a day would mean arranging a little at least.

    Firstly, the Guesthouse. It's cozy, comfortable and just the right size for you to get a personalized experience. It also has a cute cafe which has some delicious food options. It's Homemade Ginger ale is heavenly (with an earthy taste 😜). It's located a little far away from the reach of public transportation like bus (and ever farther away from train station). But if you have a personal vehicle or a rented bicycle it's convenient. It's around 10mins walk from nearest bus stop. The staff is extremely cooperative and friendly. I asked them to arrange for a small cake to surprise my wife on her b'day. The lady arranged for a small, cute chocolate fondant cake with Happy Birthday piped on the plate. They also give a nice basket of breakfast which you can carry to beaches, etc. and enjoy. Overall, had a great experience at this inn. In ll

    Not much to do in the evening. Public transport is limited in the area.

    Very close to the beach. There are additional beaches accessible by bus or taxi. The owners recommended us a place which was very nice!
