    Good location in the port area of Toyama Bay. The proprietor gave us excellent advice on activities and general information about Japanese life. He also made us awesome breakfasts, with pancakes one day and omelette the next

    Great little bed and breakfast! No frills but perfect for our overnight stay near the beach - and the price was right. Breakfast was great! Close walking distance to restaurants and the main street in the beach community. Our bedroom was large,...

    Very nice traditional place. The owner is very nice and helped in what we needed. We felt that we are guests in a Japanese family house.

Shirokuma Inn is centrally located in the heart of Iwase, next to a park, sake brewery, historic village, and a public beach with a view of the Japanese Alps, just 15 minutes walking distance. The Shirokuma Inn is a Japanese & Canadian family run business, in an old traditional style house with some modern amenities; A/C, WiFi, reserved parking. Your comfort and smiles motivate us.
We are small B&B with a fun loving spirit to welcome all our guests. Our hobbies include traveling, reading, writing, cooking and DIY.
The town of Iwase has many local attractions such as two museums, a sake brewery and also a beer brewery, a pub (sadly closing at 6:00 pm) plus a sake tasting bar (sadly closing at 5:00 pm) . There are also many fine restaurants/cuisines suitable for all palates and budgets. Most of the old town on the main street is from the late 1800's. It was one of the main shipping ports for that era. The local beach, Iwase-hama is a long, beautiful, undeveloped beach. Great for surfing and swimming or do nothing at all., but beware of the birds and your lunch.
