Top Shirahama Beach Hotel Reviews

Izu Imaihama Tokyu Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was lovely right on the beach the pool was nice although not deep and closed at 5pm , which was usually the time we wanted to use it after a day exploring. The food at the hotel was ok but limited choice unless you like seafood."

IZU RETREAT ATAGAWA SUIKO by Onko Chishin

10/10 Excellent

"Stunning cliff top location, unbelievable rooms and staff that went above and beyond. Right from being picked up from the station in a beautifully restored car, through to the well appointed rooms (and well stocked free mini bar and room service) and the incredible breakfast and dinner degustations, we had an incredible stay. Mark and the entire team were so lovely to welcome us and make it an unforgettable stay!"

Atagawa Ocean Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our authentic Japanese vacation stay. Fireworks were a surprise we had not expected. Buffet had a large variety of choices although I am allergic to shrimp and do t like seafood so it limited me. I was still able to find enough to eat each day. Onsen was a new experience for us being Canadian but now we love it and will miss this relaxing ritual."

Shimoda View Hotel

8/10 Good

"The view from the hotel is magnificent. The Japanese style rooms are spacious and quiet. I speak survival level Japanese, but there were a lot of communication problems so be ready to have your translator handy. It’s best to have a car to get around the shuttle service was hard to schedule and when returning from the station, they leave exactly at the hour they won’t wait one minute for you during the crowded summer months you cannot get dinner served in your room so you have to eat and the buffet which had good quality for food, but it was still an expensive buffet"

Hotel Izukyu

10/10 Excellent

"Easy shuttle bus to and from Shimoda train station. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean spacious room. Clean swimming pool and onsen area. Easy access to the beach and 7 Eleven nearby."

Ryokan Hanareya Ishidaya

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property with pool and garden. Staff was kind. Room was spacious and clean with private indoor and outdoor bath. Amazing stay overall. Highly recommend. We will be back again in the future."

Senoumi

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this hotel are super kind and helpful. The English speakers are few so if you do not speak Japanese just have your translate app handy to help them and yourself. We were a little sad the pool was closed and not maintained but the room was very authentic and really fun to stay in. It was the traditional experience we were looking for and the private onsen in room was wonderful to relax in. This is a very small town so if you do not want to hunt for dinner, I would recommend booking the in house dining services, If you are a picky eater there is a grocery store maybe 10 mins of walking from the hotel. They have a nice help yourself bar when you check in with drinks and snacks while they prepare your room. This is absolutely a place to come and relax and take things slow. They offer shuttle service from the hotel to the train station starting at 9am i believe so if you need an early start discuss that with them first. They can also pick you up from the train station but we took a taxi which was also just fine. Not a ton of activities in the area so only come here when you want to take it slow and enjoy the oceanside views. We really enjoyed this one night stay and hope to come back someday."

The Lighthouse Seaside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Unbeatable location!"

Inatori-Ginsuiso

8/10 Good

"The hotel has beautiful scenery and a very relaxing atmosphere. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent, with a great variety of delicious food. The staff were friendly, professional, and very helpful. There was a small issue with my reservation, but the team patiently assisted me and resolved everything smoothly. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped. While the facilities are a little dated, they are very well maintained. The hot spring was fantastic and incredibly relaxing after a long day. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money. I highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again in the future."
