Minsyuku Katsuya

very good location, near the bus stop and easy to find after get out of bus. You can walk to the beach, supermarket. Room Is big and feel comfortable

The hostel is just two minutes walk to Shirahama Beach and quite a number of good eateries around. The room is clean and cozy. The owner gave me sufficient information to venture out. I love the hot spa provided and enjoy my stay there.

Take bus number 30 from Shirahama station and get off at Shirahama bus stop. It is a white building about 100m from bus stop. Nice old house with beautiful koi pond and garden in the middle of house! Japanese style room for 2 persons is spacious and clean. Futon is clean and comfortable. Onsen bath area and toilets are clean too. Aircon works well and there is NO extra charge. There is onsen tax of ¥150/pax (same tax throughout Japan) for accommodation with onsen facilities. Owner is very helpful, speaks some English. Easily accessible nice beach ~150m away. You can walk to Sakinoyu (seaside onsen) in 10 -15 mins. This guest house is recommended if you don't need hotel standard stay.

Very friendly owner/host. Excellent service. Good Japanese-style bath. Western toilet and WiFi only on first floor. Breakfast room available for guests use (no meals served by inn). Close-by supermarket. Only wish they didn’t smoke because odor permeates property.
