Beach Side Inn Shirahama, hotel in Shimoda

Located just a 2-minute walk from Shirahama Beach in Shimoda, Beach Side Inn Shirahama is cozy friendly accommodations with warm wooden flooring and furnishings.

Very cute and very wholesome, I loved it. It’s right across the street from the beach and a shrine, and we could hear the waves at night. The room was clean and simple with a simple bathroom. It’s a surfer’s paradise and we also saw a family there which was very cute. A very nice sac-lunch style breakfast was provided for us in the morning. They asked ahead of time if we had any food allergies, and they made us a lovely vegetarian sandwich for breakfast. Their system for onsen use was also great! They left keys for them private onsen at the front desk as a first come first served, and limited the use to 40 mins which is more than enough time. We used the stone onsen at night, and it was magical to be able to hear the ocean waves and gaze up at the stars. It feels like it is family-run and everyone, including the cook in the morning, was very friendly which is lovely. I will return here the next time I visit Shimoda!

NorthStar Guesthouse, hotel in Shimoda

Featuring a garden, NorthStar Guesthouse features accommodations in Shimoda.

The comfort of coming and going as we pleased, and great views of the ocean. Everything was clean, and AC worked very well. Shared bathrooms were clean. We were able to get a few rides to and from the train stations, but taxis were hard to get from the guesthouse due to taxi shortage. There is a bus stop 10 min walking from the guesthouse, but do keep in mind that it comes only a few times a day.

    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!

    The guesthouse is located on a beautiful hill next to a bay. The guesthouse is built in such a way that a view over the bay is possible from the room and the very nice and well equipped common area. The bike rental is a very nice add on to explore the surrounding beaches in the area and do some errands in the city. Everything is very clean and well cared for. But the best feature is the host who was going the extra mile for our wellbeing and not just offer loads of tips in the area, but also for other destinations on our trip!

    A wonderful hostel with everything you need. Situated in a gorgeous quiet location overlooking the sea, beautiful beaches nearby. Restaurants and bars nearby. The hostel provides a well equipped kitchen, bikes and stand up paddle boards. Good hikes and onsens around the area. The hosts are a kind, friendly couple who are enthusiastic about what they do to make their guests feel at home. We loved it there and would highly recommend the area and hostel as a good place to relax.

    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.
