ASA Village is a hostel located in Nishimurogun Shirahama-city.

It is 14minute away from Shirahama beach and 3minute away by a car. It is 8minute away from Shirahama airport.

The building is partially renovated in July, the lobby has been transformed into a sophisticated space. It is a space where you can feel fusion of the old and new by reusing vessels that were no longer used in apparel stores.

The staff was happy with their smiles

A 5-minute walk from JR Kiitanabe Train Station, Buddha Guest House offers affordable dormitory-style accommodations with free Wi-Fi. Rental bicycles are provided for touring the area and guests can relax in the quiet garden. The entrance to the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Routes is a 10-minute walk away.

The host is fantastic. He was happy to receive me even long past the check-in time, asked me where I planned to go the day after and gave me directions on how to get there. The house looks straight out of a Japanese movie. Loved my short stay here!

The hostel's owner is a decent Japanese man who can speak fluent English. That impressed me most while I get to the first destination of the hiking journey. There is a bar downstairs and hostel rooms are in the second floor. The atmosphere is really good . Also, the hostel is located in the nearby of JR and bus station which provide much convenience in my hiking trip.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Very friendly, small ryokan , great location just above Ginza street and easy walk to the beach. Traditional hotel, not renovated (maybe better that way?) but well maintained and clean. Way better than staying in a big concrete/eyesore hotel.

    It’s a 90 years old building which was a souvenir shop. The grandson of the owner renovated it into a hostel in recent years. So there are very interesting vintage collections. You’ll get everything you need there, very nice bathroom, comfortable bedroom. Owner speaks good English and is very helpful. It’s next to the Sandanbeki entrance.

    It's great location,, right next to shirahama beach and bus service. There' are no so many taxi, so next to bus stop is great 👍. There are also free shuttle buses, but in certain time only. Onsen is super cool, outdoor Onsen is a one natural .we didn't eat at hotel, but it easy to find nice food just along the street. We wish we could stay longer... The town is very quiet, many locals come during the weekends

    Super-helpful host (has worked in Oz, so communication was easy). Well appointed with cooking facilities (though not used) & fridge/freezer access. Great location for exploring Shirahama - many restaurants nearby, beach, onsens & buses within easy walking distance. Recommended.
