Crystal Ryokan Shirahama Akariya Reviews

Beautiful Ryokan! The room I stayed in had tatami floors and western beds. The doors slide instead of open outwards like they usually do. Toilets are relatively small, but the shower had great water pressure and temperature! However we did not shower much because.. We showered at the Onsen instead since we were there to spend time! The Onsen is tattoo-friendly as confirmed by the check in staff, and the water really had skin smoothing effects. Yukatas are available at lobby area for all guests, and level two has a restaurant with microwave and ice machine outside for your konbini meals. No view from the room, but that's fine cos the Onsen itself was worth a visit. Steep short hill up to the lobby, but if you drive then that's fine. Free to use outdoor BBQ area, but didn't have the chance to. Rooms were comfy, sleep was good with minimal disturbance. Side note: my underwear got stolen at the onsen and I never managed to find it back again but that's fine cos it was worth the Onsen experience. Stayed two nights here, no regrets, would totally do it again! Oh and Onsen area has got numbered lockers to store your belongings but not your undies!

I was shocked when I walked in. Even my son, who's just started middle school, knew what it meant to have a mirror facing the bed. If you don't know, go check it out. He even managed to hide it. This was my first time staying at a hotel where you had to check out before 10 a.m., not even a minute later. An extra hour would cost 1,500 yen. Chinese people should definitely avoid this hotel; it oozes with creepiness. Traveling with luggage, this uphill climb is incredibly tiring. Families with children, lots of luggage, and no car should be wary of this hotel; it's very dark at night. Don't expect any service; none of the staff speak Chinese. The lobby is extremely old and dated.

Even though I checked in late, the staff came out to the parking lot to greet me. The subsequent service and explanations were very polite, and the hospitality was amazing. Thanks to the staff's consideration, I was able to spend a comfortable time.

The room had been renovated and was beautiful. Yukata rentals were available on the first floor, and other amenities were available on the second floor. It was great that nearby convenience stores were within walking distance.

The environment is OK, the hot spring is a bit small, 3 adults are the most comfortable, more than that will feel crowded, there are only 5 showers, the hot spring bath has a limited opening time, please pay attention to the time

今回は友人3人との旅行であったが、すごい充実した宿泊になった。大浴場もとても広く、部屋に付いている浴室もとても綺麗であった。最新の洗濯機も備わっていていいとこだらけであった。また宿泊したいと思う。

距離海邊稍微有點路程，但卻是温馨安靜的家庭式旅館。浴衣很漂亮，有洗衣房，衹是沒人鋪床，需要自己鋪榻榻米。
