A former inn located on a hill with the remains of an old castle in Wakayama, Shirahama, and Kumano Kodo. Up to 5 people. Toilet, spacious barrier-free bath

Founded in 1957, my grandfather, Eiichi Tanuchi, ran an inn called Aiwasho for the cultural development of Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture. In order to continue to protect its history and traditions, his granddaughter, Kiushuko, reopened the inn under its original name in 2021. Built on the site of Ueno Castle, this inn is a traditional Japanese house with tatami mats on the floor. Please relax in one of the two Japanese-style rooms. The inn is located on a hill overlooking the city of Tanabe, so you can enjoy the morning sun, sunset, and night view. On a calm day, we recommend having tea in a wicker chair on the edge of the hinoki cypress wooden deck, which was made in the image of the moon viewing platform of the Katsura Imperial Villa. The newly installed bath and toilet are spacious and barrier-free, so you can bathe together or use them easily even if you need assistance. We installed popin.aladdin (lighting with projector) in one of the Japanese-style rooms. It projects on the sliding doors You can watch TV, music, movies, etc. Enjoy BGM on YouTube before you go out in the morning. My parents, Kisaku and Shuko Tanai (Japanese), live next to the house, so please let me know if you need anything.

OliviaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had a lovely stay at this Air BnB! Atashika is the cutest, most beautiful tiny coastal town and this BnB is a gem. You get the whole place to yourself and it is within a short walking distance of the beach. There aren’t many open restaurants or convenience stores, but it didn’t matter to us because the place itself is so beautiful and peaceful. The BnB has everything you need, including extra thick mats for the floor mattresses in case you need some extra cushion. We loved staying here and highly recommend it!

網ノ屋 Beach House Ezura

EmmaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This house is clean, quiet and cozy. It's been a nice experience to stay for two nights. We enjoy the lobster restaurant and the Italian restaurant nearby. It's about 15 minutes walk to the supermarket and main street. Cooking facilities at the house are convenient too. Davide and Mayu are very friendly and responded quickly to our requests. In the second morning, my mother got fever. Davide drove us to the phamacy and hospital. It's really great to have someone who can support us when there's emergency like this. I really recommend this house if you are looking for a place to stay in Shirahama.

A bright bathroom features wooden paneling and a small window providing natural light. A modern toilet and a sink are available, with a towel hanging nearby. A small rug lies near the entrance, and slippers are placed on the floor.
