We stayed at the White Beach Hotel in August 2011. Our group (3 couples in late 20's) found this to be the perfect Japan beach getaway location. The rooms are very large & air-con worked perfectly. Whilst basic they were modern & comfortable. As mentioned the bathrooms are tiny however this didn't affect our stay. We found the staff to... More

That is exactly what we want - our guests to feel like they have left the stress of everyday life behind, if even for a few days and to leave rejuvenated and relaxed. Thank you for staying with us and come again. More

I made a reservation at White Beach Hotel after reading a review in the Tokyo Weekender Magazine. Not only have I finally found a beach that I like, I've found a beach hotel where I can truly feel relaxed.... comfortable rooms, terrace, great restaurant, and great service. The staff were anticipating my needs before I was even aware of them... More

White Beach was recommended by a friend and boy were we glad we followed her recommendation. The rooms were spotless and the bathrooms very tiny and average. The service, food and proximity to the beach more than made up for whatever deficiencies the room had. The food was brilliant and service was fast and efficient. The beach was almost a... More

Versus Summer of 2010, the service has greatly improved as has the food in the restuarant. Wonderful Italian food (mario's influence) and a yummy breakfast too. Staff are lovely, the young YIS students bring youthful charm while Kevin / Tony bring friendly banter and good drinks / food. Love the big beachtowels in the room and the menus. Full black... More

Yes it was good, but I don’t want everyone else going down and spoiling the secret… I took a break from Tokyo last week, now I’m back at the desk; I already wish that I was at the beach. Had a great stay - the rooms are simple but adequate, the service friendly & appropriate (efficient but laid back), the... More

WBH was recommended to us by friends, and we have thanked them for the tip-off! WBH is reminiscent of the old-style traveler's inns back in the Old Country. A fantastic restaurant, a well-stocked bar with STRONG drinks, and some basic rooms for you to crash in after a long day on the beach (or after the long drive from Tokyo)!... More

Thank you for staying with us! We are happy that you enjoyed our location across the road from the beach. We are especially happy that you enjoyed dining at Mario Mare, our new Italian restaurant. I will tell Julie how much you appreciated her friendly assistance. We hope you stay with us again soon. PS - Rooms 208 and 210... More

We stayed at White Beach with many friends and kids, and it has been a perfect weekend. The hotel has just been renovated into a Greek-style house, and the service operated by Mike, his father (!) Ken, and the whole crew, is fun and friendly. Still a little bit overpriced, but surely they will work on it...

We came down here in hopes of relaxing and spending quality time together as a family . Well, this place does not welcome families, like hotels should! It is a party place with too many people. This resulted in waiting too long for food, then when it arrived, was the wrong order! Usually no big deal, but when we waited... More

It was the second time we were coming to White Beach (some friends organized the week end) and I have to say the second experience was better than the first one 2 years ago. This place has so much potential: good concept of trendy beach house hotel, a great location, kids friendly (free baby cot)... but it totally failed to... More
