Kashintei Shirahama

みなさんとても親切で、心配りの行き届いた滞在でした。お部屋もお風呂も清潔でした。ありがとうございました。

2泊したのですが、お食事が、朝に夕に盛り沢山な和食で、少しきつかったので、できたら、少し洋食など混ぜていただけますとありがたいなと感じました。

Really nice ryokan right next to Tazawako. Onsen water quality was excellent.

No complaints - I would recommend to rent a car if you want to explore the area.

Beautiful room and exceptional staff. As previous reviews have mentioned the dinner was absolutely superb as was the breakfast. Our host for our meals was exceptional. Such a treat to be staying here. Loved the separate and private dining area.

Kashintei Shirahama delivered one of the most memorable nights of our entire trip; a truly special family experience that we will talk about for years to come. The setting alone is breathtaking. Nestled alongside the stunning Lake Tazawa, the natural beauty surrounding the ryokan sets the stage for something truly unique from the moment you arrive. But it is the staff that make this place exceptional. From the very first step through the door, we were welcomed with a warmth and grace that instantly made us feel at home. The check-in process was thoughtful and unhurried; perfectly curated and a wonderful first impression of what was to come. Our room was generously spacious, beautifully appointed with traditional tatami floors, and full of authentic character. It struck the perfect balance between elegance and comfort. The onsen experience was flawless. Both the private family onsen and the shared baths were immaculate, serene, and deeply relaxing; an absolute highlight for the whole family. And then there was the food. A stunning procession of perfectly curated local dishes that turned dinner into an experience of its own. The staff guided us through each dish with care and enthusiasm, recommending drinks along the way. The plum wine selection deserves a special mention; outstanding and a wonderful complement to the meal. We ate wonderfully and far too much! For the quality, the experience, and the memories created, the value is truly exceptional. If you are considering a ryokan stay in Japan, look no further. Kashintei Shirahama is not just a place to sleep; it is an experience not to be missed. Wholeheartedly recommended!
