Villa Shirahama

We came with our 2 kids (5,7) and spend one weekend at this place. During the time we stayed (Oct. 2016), this place was mostly booked by young Japanese people, who go there for surfing. Actually, they told us, we were the first foreign family (we are originally from Germany). We found the spot perfect for our family. Very relaxing with many attractions for the kids and lots of nature. The villa is a very nice and well maintained family own guesthouse, placed on a mountain site with beautiful nature. They have several traditional Japanese family rooms. Very clean and amazing view from above the valley you can see the ocean (even from the room). The owner is a young couple (2nd generation), who are very nice and helpful. They have lot of attractions for young people and kids (e.g. trampoline, wall for boulder, slackline, etc.). There is huge space for groups to spend time under the sky, doing BBQ or just enjoy the bar, which serves cool drinks and everything you need for BBQ up on request. To the beach is just 10 min walk or 3 min drive. The beach is just amazing for swimming or other water sports. Actually, the beach is known for surfing, wind surfing, kite surfing etc. Overall this guesthouse is a perfect fit for families and other people who like sports in the mountains or water.
