Air-conditioned rooms are fitted with tatami (woven-straw) floors and feature a futon bedding. Rooms are also equipped with a flat-screen TV, hairdryer and a fridge. Bathroom facilities and Toilet are shared with extras including toothbrushes.

I really felt at home here! Yes, there are minimal amenities, but it has a really cozy feeling to it. My room was quite spacious and very affordable. The staff is very kind and helpful, the manager recommended the best onsen to me, and knew which hot springs were tattoo friendly. He spoke English very well. It is a great location too, only a few minutes walk to the beach, and very close to the convenience store. I'm really happy I stayed here :)

ASA Village is a hostel located in Nishimurogun Shirahama-city.

It is 14minute away from Shirahama beach and 3minute away by a car. It is 8minute away from Shirahama airport.

The building is partially renovated in July, the lobby has been transformed into a sophisticated space. It is a space where you can feel fusion of the old and new by reusing vessels that were no longer used in apparel stores.

The staff was happy with their smiles

A 5-minute walk from JR Kiitanabe Train Station, Buddha Guest House offers affordable dormitory-style accommodations with free Wi-Fi. Rental bicycles are provided for touring the area and guests can relax in the quiet garden. The entrance to the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Routes is a 10-minute walk away.

Simple but nice place. The host is very kind and provided me with recommendations on local izakaya, bus timetable and leaflet guide of the kumano kodo trail. Thank you very much!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Very friendly, small ryokan , great location just above Ginza street and easy walk to the beach. Traditional hotel, not renovated (maybe better that way?) but well maintained and clean. Way better than staying in a big concrete/eyesore hotel.

    Great location - near to the beach, family mart, food options, and to a visitor centre where you can rent bikes. The room is abit dated but it's clean and big. My room had a small patio which was a nice touch. You can also use the onsen. Staff was helpful too.

    Great location, great staff, reasonable. We were a little surprised that breakfast was included, but not so surprised when we figured out we had to make it ourselves 😅

    I stayed in a shared dormitory room. The room was clean, toilet was clean, outdoor shower was also nice and clean (fine for the summer but not sure what this would be like in the winter). Parking is available for an extra charge. The host was very lovely and friendly and Shirahama Beach is a stone's throw away.

    It’s a 90 years old building which was a souvenir shop. The grandson of the owner renovated it into a hostel in recent years. So there are very interesting vintage collections. You’ll get everything you need there, very nice bathroom, comfortable bedroom. Owner speaks good English and is very helpful. It’s next to the Sandanbeki entrance.

    It's great location,, right next to shirahama beach and bus service. There' are no so many taxi, so next to bus stop is great 👍. There are also free shuttle buses, but in certain time only. Onsen is super cool, outdoor Onsen is a one natural .we didn't eat at hotel, but it easy to find nice food just along the street. We wish we could stay longer... The town is very quiet, many locals come during the weekends
