Very nice place near the Shirahama beach : the room was simple but with all needed and its private bathroom. The 2 outside private onsen are very nice ! We could not surf as there was no wave but you can park your car and use the outside shower until 14:00 after check-out, perfect for a morning session on the last day. Also, the breakfast was delicious (fruit juice, yoghourt, boiled egg and a very good sandwich) : you can have it on the go or eat it in the dining room !

Free bike rental and free surf board rental, 7min from the Beach by walk. Besides the beach is quiet and heavenly. The check-in was so smooth and intuitive. Safe and super clean. Massive kictchen to cook and share with others, grocery shop very close, with affordable Wagyu beef ! If you want to feel the surf vibe in Japan, this is a go to place !! Taka and Reo (managers) are so friendly and helpful, ask them anything. Big big plus : Reo is american and really flexible, and Taka is an Izakaya Chef (you won’t even need to speak japanese to bond with him) Taka San (the owner) is the local Kelly Slater and he can teach you surf. He lives next door with Shuko San and his lovely family. They are friendly and so open minded. They offered me the most authentic experience of my one-month trip in Japan. I strongly recommend this place P.S : I wish I had a house like theirs

This hotel is close to the railway station with just 25 mins walk, and if you want to take the black ship it only takes about 15 mins’ walk. Several restaurants are near and there’s a 711 around, so very convenient. The hotel is equipped with everything you need, and it’s owner is a very kind and helpful lady which understands Chinese.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was clean and comfortable, and the view of the ocean and Ebisu Island was beautiful. The wood deck was a perfect place to relax, and I also liked having the option to enjoy the nearby onsen and BBQ. The location feels peaceful and private, but still has everything you need close by. A very relaxing and memorable stay — I’d be happy to come back.

I loved everything! The guest house was extremely clean and the personnel super nice and welcoming! They kept our suitcases for us even after the check-out, and also gave us service nuts for our drinks! The position was amazing, we were in front of a temple and the beach! I will go back for sure!

Excellent location - right next to the Sakura tunnel. You can enjoy it at night and slowly make your way back to the station the next day. It's a Japanese style house so it is very cosy and calming. The cat is also adorable and friendly (though you can't normally touch him) There is air conditioning and we also got a big hot water bottle and it was amazing to cuddle it at night! There was also some spring water(?) available to drink. The owner is able to explain all amenities in English so I didn't have to turn on my Japanese speaking part of my brain. She also gave some recommendations on where to go. Asami is an excellent host 👍 I wish i could come here again.

    Shimoda is a really cool town, I loved it, and I think if it hadn’t been for the location and the value of TOMI’s place, then I might not have stayed for the full three nights. I was able to rent a bike for two days very cheaply from TOMI, and the beds were very comfortable and the dorm was quiet. Loads and loads to do in the area!

    Quiet location with a beautiful view. Mr. Yamamoto is an exceptional host. He was simply lovely; he speaks English, incredibly kind, and made everything effortless for us. The pension is spotlessly clean and well maintained. There is a 7-11 at the beach, so it was quite convenient. We took the bus from Shimoda station with no difficulty. It was a great stay.
