I tried to book this B&B after seeing the introduction of other Xinyi hotels when there were no rooms. I liked the fresh Japanese style. The room is better said than a suite. The interior is divided into an entrance hall and three functional rooms. The utensils and equipment are clean and new. The toothbrushes and other configurations are the same as those in the hotel. Tickets for nearby hot springs are also provided, which can be used by a family of three or four people. The accommodation is very comfortable, and the screen can be used as a simple partition. If you take Japanese-style photos, it will be very interesting. There are 3 buses from Shirahama JR Station, about 8 stops away. It takes 4-5 minutes to walk after getting off the bus. The whole building is painted yellow and white, which is very eye-catching among the surrounding gray buildings. There are signs on the roadside, and the store Directions will be sent to you one day before check-in, (although not completely correct), but in general it is not difficult to find it with Google Maps. However, the shortcomings of this place are also obvious. First of all, it is fully self-service check-in and check-out. The store has only one phone number and does not speak Chinese. If you have anything, you need to transfer it through Ctrip. Secondly, it may be because it has just opened, so there are few information left and there are errors, which can easily mislead. For example, the information says there is no parking lot, but in fact there is a parking lot in front of the house, and each suite will provide one parking space. For example, breakfast can be provided, but in fact there is no such option, and there is no supermarket or night store within about 20 minutes of the apartment. There is a picture of the bathroom in the photo, but the public facilities marked do not indicate that the bathroom is shared by 2 apartments. I only found out about it when I received the check-in instructions from the store the day before check-in. Frankly speaking, if I knew it in advance, I would definitely not know. I will choose here. For two nights we were wondering whether there were any guests in the other apartment. The bathroom was at one end of the corridor. There was no air conditioning in the corridor. The bathroom door was very heavy and the lock was not easy to twist. We were a little worried when we took a shower. There was only a small room in the bathroom. The exhaust fan is very stuffy. There was only a dirty clothes basket outside, and there was no place to put a change of clothes and towels. There is no elevator, so it will be tiring to carry heavy luggage up and down. There is no washing machine, which is a bit of a disadvantage in summer and when washing is more frequent on the beach. The soundproofing is average, you can hear cars passing by on the road at night. I don't know what's wrong with the Japanese-style air conditioner in Room 301. Every 1 minute or so, there is a sound like the sewer pipe is clogged and the water is pumping up. It's right above my head. It affects my sleep. I reported it to the store through Ctrip. The result is I was asked to provide evidence, so I had to record it. Check-out is very tight, and we have repeatedly confirmed through Ctrip that the time cannot be exceeded. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to Shirahama and 1 stop from the seafood market. It takes about 10 minutes to walk. You have to take the bus to other attractions. The bus intervals in Shirahama are relatively long, more than half an hour, and they disappear after 6 o'clock. Except for busier traffic points such as stations, taxis are rarely seen. These also need to be considered.
