Excellent value for the vicinity when staying near Shimoda. A short bus ride away from the train station, a short walk to the beach, very quiet and relaxing. The perfect value for the price.

Cheap place to stay the night. We booked three rooms, and the mattresses were uncomfortable in all three rooms. The mattresses were thin, and you could feel the mattress springs. Otherwise, the bathroom is clean and new, whereas everything else is old.

The staff is very accomodating. We arrived early around 2pm, and the owner let us checked in around that time. It was supposed to be 3pm. The bedroom is also much bigger in person and its also clean! Will probably go back again next year! Thank you

家族的雰囲気なオーナーさんのお出迎え。部屋も小洒落た感じで良い。ただし、温水洗浄便座が付いてなかったのが残念。その他細かいところで埃があり、もう少し掃除をお願いしたい。部屋の照明は、天井ではなくベッド横の照明で間接照明すると完璧です。ぐっすり眠れました。
