Actually great amenities which are not really listed but you’ll get towels, slippers and pyjamas. They have toiletries by the reception. There is a small onsen as well! Check in is only from 5 pm but you can leave your luggage at the reception downstairs
I had a such beautiful stay at Aizu ~ eating breakfast in the sun on the deck was bliss! Met loads of friendly travellers and the hosts are super kind. Thank you Aizu Guesthouse :))
The owner was incredibly welcoming and friendly! The location was fantastic, right next to the JR station, perfect for someone like me who prefers public transportation. We arrived that afternoon, left our luggage at the hotel, bought a half-day bus pass, and took buses from the JR station to tour the entire Shirahama area before catching the last bus back to the hotel around 7 PM. The next day, before checking out, we had brunch at a shop near the station. A very comfortable arrangement.
The location is not easy to find. It takes a long time to find it. It may be close to the sea. It is too quiet and dark at night. I am a little afraid. If there are boys, it is okay. If there are girls, it is not recommended.
