Tanabe – Ryokan-hótel

Lucia Tékkland

This is a perfect place to stay. If I come back to Japan, I will stay here again. I regret I only stayed 2 nights, more would be better :) The owner was very nice, cheerful and always with a smile on his face. I felt the most relaxed in this minshuku during my whole stay in Japan so far. I had a great time. Good starting point for several kumano kodo sections, or you can take the bus to others or back. There is an indoor onsen, but there is also outdoor onsen by the river right under the windows of this place. This was really a highlight. You can meet and talk to japanese people, which really is enriching. The minskuhu was cozy and comfortable. The road nearby is not busy and you can sleep good. By (my) mistake I booked smoking room, but I had no problem at all and I did not smell any cigaretes or so. Free washing machine, espresso and masaging chair. It is very worthy to order a dinner and a lunch box. Dinner has many courses and you can be sure you will not go to bed hungry. Varies if you are staying more nights. There is always big bowl of soup, many kinds of meat including fish, lots of vegetables, and of course rice or udon. Udon are especially good, the best I have tasted in Japan so far. Lunch bento is tasty as well and convenient, since there are not many shops around (I found one in the town 2km distant, and if you start the trek early, it can be closed).

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.

The hostess (who's also the owner) was a very nice and friendly person. Breakfast was complimentary and the hostess even made breakfast by herself to guests every morning and it was delicious! The room is equipped with tatami floor and was super clean. There was no bed but instead futon was provided and you need to set it up by yourself at night which was interesting. It was a special experience to get a chance to sleep in a Japanese futon. If you don't know how to set it up they will help you too. The bathroom is big and equipments were new. The hotel is within 5 minutes walk to the beach. It's also close to a bus stop which takes you to surrounding sightseeing places. There are convenient store and supermarket within walking distance and you can buy fireworks there to play at the beach at night. If we come back to Shirahama in the future we will choose to stay here again.
