Set in Shirahama, within 200 metres of Shirahama Beach and 1.2 km of Ezura Beach, Shirahama no Yado Daigo offers free WiFi throughout the property. The property is around 2 km from Shirahama Art Museum, 2.1 km from Shirahama Aquarium Kyoto University and 2.7 km from Kishu Museum of Art. The ryokan features family rooms.

This place has a 9.1 rating and most reviews seem too good to be true but trust me on this, this place is THAT good. And I would rate this hotel a 100 out of 10 if I can, the high rating is truly deserved. The staff is very kind and welcoming. The rooms are clean, spacious, and the futon is comfortable. The location is great, there are many food places nearby, the beach is just a few minutes walk away (you can even see it from your room depending on where you are placed), and the bus stop which will take you to the station or most places around Shirahama is very near.

The hotel was quiet and clean. We had a comfortable room with lots of space. The view of the ocean and stars from the private bath on the balcony was very pleasant. We had an excellent meal prepared by the kitchen. My wife is vegetarian and doesn't eat mushrooms, so I contacted the hotel before our arrival to see if they could accommodate her. They took a great deal of care to prepare a varied selection of dishes for her. She really enjoyed the meal. My food was also delicious. The service was excellent too. The staff are attentive, helpful, and communicate well in English.

Super close to the lovely beach. We upgraded to an ocean view room on a high floor - not realizing at the the time that that allowed access to the rooftop onsen. it was a highlight. Breakfast and dinner buffets we’re extensive and delicious.

    Real character property, beautifully kept - it has much more history and style than the bigger hotels. Most of our group had never been to Japan before and started their trip here - their first time with futon beds in some rooms and also their first time going to the onsen. There is plenty of parking - we hired a car to drive to Hongu Taisha shrine and Yumomine onsen. The hotel staff were attentive when required and otherwise so discreet that it felt like we had the place to ourselves. We absolutely loved our stay!

    The hotel is near to the beach, it has a lovely swimming pool outside. There is a great viewing area on the 11th floor where you can sit and relax looking out to the sea and on the same floor there are male and female Onsens. There was a wide variety of food at breakfast. The room with tatami area was very nice. Good size gym and laundry room.

    We were in Shirahama for workcation and seamore residence had good facilities for that. A shared kitchen/working space with secure wifi. We also got access to the main hotel and was able to use their amazing onsen! The hotel is a great place for any sized group/ couples/families with lots of amenities (onsen, nap room, play room, karaoke, golf simulator, billiards, restaurants, music room etc). Guests also had the option to choose our own Yukata from reception. 200% would stay here again.
