Hotel room is very spacious. The best thing about this hotel is the service by the staff.
Hotel Sanrakuso is beachfront with helpful and hospitable staff. Our Japanese-style room had a wonderful view of the beach, which was picturesque at sunrise and sunset. The room was clean and cozy.
Location/Transportation:
Even though it's not a 5-star hotel, it is the closest to the Shirahama beach i. E. Just 100m behind the beach and the best centralized view of the entire bay.

Didn’t stay here; just came to visit for the sunset (stunning) and local produce/souvenir shop… very nice place.
Large parking but gets busy at certain times.
The view from the room is absolutely beautiful, just unbeatable! The view from the onsen is also fantastic. Friendly service. We had a fantastic experience.
Super view from the outside bath.
Dinner was fantastic and also breakfast was awesome too! There were a lot of choice to taste the great meals:)
I loved the buffet style.

Our family stayed at the royal Japanese room and had one of the most breathtaking views I had in a while. Every staff member was very friendly and accommodating.
Such an amazing hotel off the beaten path. A very delicious breakfast both buffet style and traditional Japanese style. The Onsen water is absolutely amazing. Great quality.
I have been to at least 20 onsen areas/hotels in Japan and this is one of the few I will definitely consider a repeat visit.

The Nanki-Shirahama Marriott was a full-service, centrally located hotel that I would recommend to anyone traveling in the area.
A sea-fronting Marriott that has winds so strong in winter but so comforting for an outdoor setting of ofuro on its top floor. We stayed 2 nights and had a good time.
Very nice room. The tatami sleeper was really comfortable, better than the bed. The bathroom is tiny, but no issue. There is a rooftop open area bath. You enjoy the fresh air while you bath there.

A wonderful and relaxing getaway. The onsens were lovely. The Yakatas provided were beautiful and you could pick your print and size. The karaoke rooms were super fun and had lots of English options.
Had a fantastic stay here. Because breakfast and dinner are included, and the quality of the rooms is very high, I think the cost of the stay is justified.
Amazing hotel, there are so many facilities (karaoke, table tennis, manga, etc) and the onsens are beautiful. The buffet for both dinner and lunch were amazing (and really cheap — 990yen).

We initially booked the Seamore Suites and were not impressed as it is away from the main hotel, and was not up to expectations with the photos we saw.
We only stayed at the Key Terrace Hotel Seamore one night but arrived early to experience the hotel fully. We had some issues with their new gym and the fact that they don't supply water in the rooms.

I stayed at Hotel Urashima – Sanjokan Building and had a wonderful experience, despite initially hesitating because of some negative reviews. I’m really glad I decided to book this hotel.
It was my first time visiting this hotel, drawn by the cave hot spring. The hotel is so big, there are 3 buildings and many hot springs.
The hotel itself was fantastic…
I had a great stay and the facilities were great. There's a Lawson and gift shop in the hotel. The onsen is amazing with the cave onsen particularly standing out.

Fabulous experience! The hotel is located on a private island with a private walk path and many onzen hotsprings. The room is very beautiful with a wonderful view.
A truly unique hotel. This is where Bond would have stayed in the 1970s if he came to Japan. It’s sort of super traditional, dated 20th century and luxury modern all at the same time.

The hotel room was new and no weird smell like other older Ryokan. Some of the staffs are good in English. Overall all the staffs are very attentive and super helpful.
We really enjoyed our 2 night stay in this wonderful ryokan. The room was very comfortable and had an amazing ocean view, onsen was fabulous, the food in the restaurant was very nice.
I had an amazing experience at Kyukamura. The rooms are beautiful and relaxing… It was difficult to leave while looking at the beauty of the room.
This review is for Giovanni Italian restaurant 7-course dinner on 21.2.2026
Had a top quality modern Italian 7-course dinner.
@ Giovanni in the ryokan.
A lovely hotel with a great spa! The pool was super fun, and the sauna and spa areas were really relaxing. The staff were all incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the stay even better.
The hotel is immaculate. The onsen is lovely. I used the East one as they are alternated. Only issue is I also used the outside onsen that has a lovely view.
Loved our pool side villa which gave us direct access to the pool from our balcony. Our kids had such a wonderful time swimming and sunbathing. Food and service were superb.

We had a very nice big room with a great sea view. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The bathroom was a bit small and old. The breakfast was great. They had a lot of options.
What a great experience! The hotel is in a quiet, beautiful location with plenty of nature to explore nearby—perfect for relaxing or hiking. The free shuttle from the train station was a big plus.
Nice hotel with amazing Onsen (indoor and outdoor) and a great dinner buffet. I enjoyed the nice view from my room, especially the sun rise was amazing (I stayed there mid April).
Hotel is aged, but staff are very friendly and warm welcome. Excellent view. Those are reflected in the price. So with this price for the view and food I believe it worth for money. Happy stay.
5 star recommend! We enjoyed our stay here! Every meal set is high quality delicate and delicious.
There are in total 4 onsen in the resorts, 3 open (or semi open) and one indoors.
The room was so spacious for 2 of us. It fits 2 beds, 1 tatami room, closet and all. Huge! It has both public/private onsens with open/indoor space.
One month later I was still remembering this hotel and I came here to pubish a review.
Overall a beautiful place to visit and the service is very good. The only thing that I didn't enjoy was some of the other guests there.
The room was old but clean. It feels like staying at museum.
I read some reviews regarding old bathroom but we thought this is ok because it suits the atmosphere.
This hotel is truly one of a kind and perhaps the best hotel I've stayed at. We were greeted by the staff at the entrance when we arrived, and they let us have dinner first after our several hour

The 3-bed room size is perfectly fit for my family with 2 kids. It is a little bit old but overall are acceptable, at least it have no anything broken or sticky.
Modern hotel and rooms are very clean. Good sea view. Complimentary onsen facility next to Kushiro market, about 10 minutes walk from hotel.
Hotel is very strict about check in time.
You can enjoy fresh seafood by BBQ in the facility. There is a beach nearby, so Kuroshio Onsen is the best place to let the tide on your body flow.
I really enjoyed my one night stay there. I used the onsen. Very enjoyable. The room had an amazing view. It was clean and had lots of amenities.
I have stayed in many hotels in Japan and this is in my top five. Really top drawer in every aspect. If I had to find something to complain about, it would be the lack of restaurants in the area.
We initially booked the Seamore Suites and were not impressed as it is away from the main hotel, and was not up to expectations with the photos we saw.
We had a sunset buffet here, pretty good. The hotel has endless pool and beautiful ocean views. Didn't stay, no words for the room.
There's so much going for this hotel, but it's one of those don't judge a book by its cover.
The ocean view from the room is spectacular. The buffet breakfast and dinner, awesome.
The hotel is clean and spacious. The staff on duty was friendly, responsive to our needs and checked in with us whenever we meet. We appreciate that.
Awesome place with awesome and friendly staff and the awesome sea view. Room is spacious. Many places around the hotel for meals. Convenience stores like Lawson and Family Mart nearby.
The entrance for the car park is slightly hard to notice if you're coming when it's dark but other than that the service was great and the staff was friendly!
This Hotel is a new facilities and traditional style hotel because their room is divide in two part, the first part is western room which have two single bed and other is tatami room.
