Hotel Sanrakuso

“Great location, view, and food!”

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. The onsen was relaxing. Breakfast and dinner were delicious! We would stay here again!

“Relaxing Onsen Hotel with Great View and Delicious Food”

Sanrakuso (三楽莊) is an Onsen (hot spring) hotel located at the beautiful Shirahama Beach (白良浜), which is about 10 minutes from the Shirahama JR station.

Sanrakuso (三楽莊) is an Onsen (hot spring) hotel located at the beautiful Shirahama Beach (白良浜), which is about 10 minutes from the Shirahama JR station. Not only can you walk to the beach, but the most famous attractions in Shirahama, like Senjojiki Rock Plateau (千疊敷) and Sandanbeki Cliffs (三段壁), are along the beach. So, if you have time, you can walk or bike along the coast to visit those attractions and enjoy the onsen afterward. Besides, all rooms face the beach so that you can enjoy the beautiful Shrirarahama beach from the rooms. Nine rooms have a private Onsen, so if you book a room with an Onsen, you can even enjoy the Onsen and view simultaneously. We were lucky enough to stay in a room with an Onsen. That was amazing and super relaxing. Our booking includes dinner and buffet breakfast. The dinner was a fixed-course meal made with fresh local ingredients, and it was all super delicious. I highly recommend booking with dinner. Overall, Hotel Sanrakuso is a great option when traveling to Shirahama.

“The service!”

We stayed here for 2 nights, the room was comfortable, breakfast was great. The view of the ocean was amazing! The gift shop is a must visit! So many unusual items at really good prices.

We stayed here for 2 nights, the room was comfortable, breakfast was great. The view of the ocean was amazing! The gift shop is a must visit! So many unusual items at really good prices. What really blew us away was the staff. It drizzled a bit our first day while we were walking on the beach and before we made it to the front door a wonderful staff member ran out to meet us with towels. No matter what we needed or did not even know we needed they were there to assist us. Not only did they get us a taxi when we were leaving they insisted on carrying our luggage but all the staff members thanked us for coming and said good bye. I was sad to leave!

“Just 100m from the beach, and staff here can speak fluent English and Mandarin!”

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. From the Shirahama train station, we took a cab so that we didn't have to lug our suitcases up the hotel's slope. F… lisää

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. From the Shirahama train station, we took a cab so that we didn't have to lug our suitcases up the hotel's slope. From the hotel, we could easily walk to the beach, the Sandebeki cliffs/cave nearby and also the town a couple hundred of meters away to check out the small restaurants and big Gourmet City 24-hour supermarket. Highlights we'd enjoyed: - Some rooms (especially xx05 and xx06) have onsens in the room, and directly faces the beach and the T-shaped sand spit, letting us enjoy an awesome view while soaking in the onsen in the comfort of our room. Room was large and having all amenities for onsen e.g. yukatas, facial products, ReFa hairstyling products, etc. - Free borrowing of pretty kimonos for adults and kids on each floor's lift lobby. - Free drinks station (7-10am and 3-10pm) allowing guests to get free coffee, tea, ice, plain water in between (hotel's shared) onsen soaks on the 3rd floor. Also available at the same area are: a mini soft playground, VR machine and a futsbal table. - Omakase dinner included in room price is served in a private dining room on L5. This level is apparently the best height to enjoy the sunset while enjoying dinner. Full-glass windows meant it was great for taking family photos with the sunset. - Breakfast buffet had a sumptuous variety and was served in a dining hall with individual, private seating booths. - Love the hotel's shop too as we were able to get some beach essentials (good quality swimming goggles, better than those at the convenient mart), some cute panda-themed local souvenirs (because Shirahama used to be a famous panda town for years until the pands were returned to China just a few months ago), and other local products such as plum (Ume) products. Prices were fair and good. - Almost all staff were extremely cheerful and polite, showing us the map and recommending us places to have lunch while our room was being prepared. They also wear Hawaiian-themed staff shirt probably to give off Wakiki beach vibes. What could be improved: - Perhaps they could also have English on the labels of products in the hotel lobby, thereby encouraging tourists to buy more when they know what the products are. - It would be much better if the private dinner's serving staff could hang around. We searched high and low, using the private room's service phone, even looked in the dining hall, just for someone to help us take a family photo with the beautiful sunset. They all refrained from talking to us (Jap style of doing things - they will avoid interaction especially with foreigners if they are not the main service staff). Alas, the beautiful sunset was gone by the time our designated private dining service staff returned with the rice dish. A little disappointing how it turned out!
