The nearest and most efficient gateway to the city center is Nanki Shirahama Airport (SHM), located just 2.12 km away. As a domestic hub, it offers the fastest and cheapest ground transport, with local taxis reaching the center in minutes and buses providing budget-friendly alternatives. For travelers arriving via international hubs, Kansai International Airport (KIX) is the most viable secondary option at 84.45 km, typically requiring a 3-hour journey via the JR Limited Express train. Osaka Itami Airport (ITM) (123.48 km) and Kobe Airport (UKB) (106.99 km) both offer domestic connectivity but involve more complex, multi-modal transfers to reach Shirahama. Chubu Centrair International Airport (NGO) is the furthest at 187.76 km and is generally less recommended unless specific flight routes dictate its use. Travelers are advised to prioritize SHM for convenience, while those using major international hubs like KIX should pre-book rail tickets and allow ample time for transfers, as regional connections to the Kii Peninsula can be infrequent.

Reading the reviews, I knew there was a slope leading up to the hotel, so I took a taxi when I arrived, which cost 2200 yen. It would definitely be tough to climb that slope with heavy luggage. The hotel is downhill from the beach, and the top-floor hot spring bath and breakfast restaurant offer great views. Breakfast was decent; there aren't many dining options in Shirahama, so having breakfast at the hotel was a good solution. You can walk to Sandanbeki Cliff and Senjojiki from the hotel, and even to the spot for photographing the sunrise over Engetsu Island. I didn't really notice the service, but overall, the stay was pleasant.FromUS$120

I had an absolutely delightful stay at this hotel. Every aspect of the experience exceeded expectations — the room was impeccably clean, elegantly designed, and exceptionally comfortable. The staff were warm, attentive, and provided truly outstanding service throughout my stay.
The breakfast was particularly impressive, offering a refined selection of high-quality, fresh, and beautifully presented options that made each morning a pleasure. The location is ideal, and the facilities are superbly maintained, contributing to an overall sense of sophistication and relaxation.
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a premium and memorable stay, and I very much look forward to returning in the future.FromUS$108

Room was comfortable, had a sea view, there was another hotel in between us and the sea, but nevertheless it was beautiful to be beside the sea.
Breakfast was tardy, staff were friendly, Onsen was big split over two floors with the highlight for me being the outdoor pool on the first floorFromUS$101

I love this hotel so much: comfortable and spacious rooms, unobstructed sea views, complete facilities, clean, and the hotel staff is super friendly, choose with your eyes closed!!! The hotel has a modern lobby on the first floor, and there are laundry rooms and bathhouses on the first floor, which are separated by men and women! Laundry room: Wash and dry separately, 100 yen for 30 minutes, usually done in an hour, remember to pick it up in time. The second floor is a public shower room, which is separated by men and women and has strong independence. There is also a public kitchen with complete equipment. Ingredients can be bought at the seafood market. The public kitchen has everything. Other seasonings can be bought at Lawson downstairs, which is super convenient! This is the second time I came to Shirahama. This time I chose to stay in Shirahama. I stayed for a total of two nights. I chose this hotel for both nights. I went to Kii Katsuura for one night in the middle. This time I stayed in Japan for 7 nights. This hotel is my favorite hotel on this trip! I will come again next year if I have the chance!FromUS$61

Everything about this place was great! Shirahama is such a comfortable and relaxing destination, and the hotel was excellent too. I was personally very satisfied and have already recommended it to friends. They're quite interested and want to come back with me next time for a vacation. The convenience stores nearby are super handy, and there's a supermarket close by for some browsing too.FromUS$71

We booked a private hot spring room with two meals this time. Extremely satisfied! The front desk service was attentive and thoughtful. The hotel faces the beach directly, and the private hot spring is right on the balcony of the room. Soaking in the hot spring while enjoying the sea view was incredibly relaxing. The room was clean, tidy, comfortable, and cozy, with a full set of toiletries, bottled water, and snacks provided. The dinner was very rich, with fresh and delicious ingredients. While the breakfast options weren't as extensive, there was still plenty to eat. Overall, I'm very happy with my stay.
Suggestion: Would it be possible to offer a late-night snack, like a bowl of ramen, for guests who have finished their hot spring bath around 9-11 PM? (I've experienced this at other hot spring hotels in Japan).FromUS$87

I don't usually write reviews, but I absolutely loved this hotel! Transportation is great; a bus ride from Shirahama Station to Shin-Yuzaki Station takes about 20 minutes. Although the hotel is on a small hill, it's only a two-minute walk, no effort at all. Across the street are the popular Seamore and Key Noodles restaurants, and Sakinoyu is just a short walk away. Because it's built on a hill, the sea view is absolutely stunning! I could see the beautiful Pacific Ocean from my bed every day. The room was also very spacious; for this price, the room with such a large ocean view is incredibly good value. The hotel itself has an onsen (hot spring bath) and provides complimentary yukata (light cotton robe), so I could enjoy a relaxing soak every night before bed. The room service also thoughtfully provided local specialty snacks daily. It was truly the most satisfying hotel of my Shirahama trip!FromUS$40

The hotel is equivalent to domestic Samsung, but the room is large, one double bed and one single bed, two double sofas, one massage chair. Right to the sea, there is a supermarket downstairs and very close to the bus stop. If you don't buy a day card in Shirahama, the bus needs to pay cash, and various kinds of transportation cards such as watermelon cards will not work. One poise and two foods, the meal is not luxurious, but it is definitely an experience. If there is an introduction, there will be a special person to send it to the room. Someone from the store will help with the luggage, drive the door, and send a farewell. Hot springs are 150 yen per person. This time, the children who were under 6 years old did not receive extra money for accommodation, and there was no extra charge for sharing meals with adults.FromUS$107

The kids were thrilled with the dome-shaped room!
It was a Japanese-style room, so they had a great time running around and doing cartwheels!
The mattresses could have been a little thicker!
The breakfast and dinner buffets had a slightly limited selection, but the fresh sashimi was fantastic!
It was a shame that the hot springs opened so late in the morning!
Next time, I'd like to stay in a different room!FromUS$69

A group of 10 people set off to Baibin and found a homestay. On the mountain, it is recommended to drive people. The house is huge and really huge. There is actually a jacuzzi and bathing area on the first floor. The children have played on the beach and rushed back and took a bath. The kitchen and restaurant are also huge, all aspects are arranged very well, the 2nd floor is the accommodation area, there are 3 rooms with beds, the rest is tatami, there are 4 bathrooms upstairs or 3? Anyway, it is very enough! Too suitable for a large family holiday! great! Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures, it's a very beautiful big villaFromUS$350

Very perfect resort hotel, Wuquan belongs to a small boutique hotel under Hilton, divided into 3 areas, dragon (bungalow), bear and giraffe (two floors small). Each room is very large and spacious and comfortable.
Outside the window is the swimming pool in the center of the hotel. There is also a large bath near the Dragon District. Whether it is a swimming pool or a hot spring, the water is extremely clear and good.
The room network is good, the bed and pillows are particularly good, the room is clean.
The uncle in charge of the pick-up is particularly kind and attentive, and the attitude is excellent.
The food in the restaurant is good.FromUS$751

今次帶住三歲小朋友嚟住水晶白濱別墅酒店（Crystal Villa Shirahama），真係住得好舒服！整個別墅空間超大，私隱度高，有私人泳池同天然溫泉露天浴池，鬆晒！小朋友喺度玩到好開心，酒店設施同清潔度都非常優秀，感覺好有質素。
雖然要揸車先去到附近食嘢同景點（例如白良濱海灘或冒險世界），但係整體住宿體驗實在太正，絕對值得！強烈推介畀有小朋友嘅家庭，或者想住得豪華又relax嘅朋友～下次仲會再嚟！FromUS$469

I've stayed at this hotel about once before
It is a very special castle style design and the lobby is very gorgeous. Don’t believe it is just a 4-star hotel.
I highly recommend this hotel. The hot springs are all designed.
The breakfast and dinner buffets have a lot of variety and the taste is generally good.
This time I will visit again and we will prepare welcome refreshments.FromUS$980

The view is stunning, but taking the bus to Oura Station means you have to drag your suitcases up a bit, or catch the 6:00 PM shuttle bus from Shirahama Station. It's worth checking the shuttle bus schedule beforehand; the last one seems to be around 5:00 PM. The bathroom facilities are a bit dated, but the other services are good. With fewer Chinese tourists, it's mostly Japanese families with children. The indoor pool is a bit small, mostly occupied by the children. The breakfast was okay and filling, a typical hotel buffet, but they do offer mentaiko and tuna. On the way back, the hotel booked a taxi to the airport, which took 10 minutes. It's a bit far from Shirarahama, Senjojiki, and Sandanbeki, so it's best to get a timetable and have change ready if you're taking the bus.FromUS$101
