Shimoda in the inbetween season is not the most vibrant destination. But it does suit for some rest.

The guesthouse is located on a beautiful hill next to a bay. The guesthouse is built in such a way that a view over the bay is possible from the room and the very nice and well equipped common area. The bike rental is a very nice add on to explore the surrounding beaches in the area and do some errands in the city. Everything is very clean and well cared for. But the best feature is the host who was going the extra mile for our wellbeing and not just offer loads of tips in the area, but also for other destinations on our trip!

The guesthouse is on a steep slope.

Lovely owners made us feel at home. We were travelling with a toddler and they had a play corner with toys. He loved it! Just a short walk from Perry road and a gorgeous view of the beach. I would definitely come back to this place!

A wonderful hostel with everything you need. Situated in a gorgeous quiet location overlooking the sea, beautiful beaches nearby. Restaurants and bars nearby. The hostel provides a well equipped kitchen, bikes and stand up paddle boards. Good hikes and onsens around the area. The hosts are a kind, friendly couple who are enthusiastic about what they do to make their guests feel at home. We loved it there and would highly recommend the area and hostel as a good place to relax.

A man checked into the dorm at around 1-2AM and proceeded to have a shower and a very noisy ‘bathroom time’ before passing out and snoring so loud that sleep wasn’t possible for a few hours. Not the guesthouse’s fault necessarily, but I don’t think it’s very considerate to let people check into a shared room so late.

A beautiful place, right by the sea (you can even see it from the window), quiet, comfortable, and the owner’s wife -sorry I forgot your name - is a genuinely super hospitable person. The facilities were all great and in good Nick - the bike was maybe a bit stiff, but I think it’s a losing battle against these hills either way.

Yuki San is an exceptional host, after arriving earlier has no problem showing me the property and also gave me very useful tips about places around - where to eat, where to surf, and where to go onsen. Whole property has a really nice and friendly atmosphere as well as the whole Shimoda. Yuki also provides bikes, which moves the whole experience to a different level. If I return, I will choose All You Need guesthouse again. Arigato gozaimasu.

We were amazed at the hospitality at Guesthouse All You Need. Our room was very comfortable ( comfy beds and pillows and a great AC/Heater), the kitchen was well stocked and clean, and free coffee and tea all day. We loved the free bikes, gorgeous views and so many beautiful beaches. Our host was beyond helpful with any questions and he was just a pleasure to talk to. We felt like we made friends at this guesthouse and will definitely be back.

Everything was great.

Amazing customer service from Yuki. He was an absolute jet helping us with everything we needed, recommendations, questions on the Shimoda area and he even kept in hourly contact when we left Shimoda to help us with train services etc. Just went above and beyond. The property is in an ideal location, close to everything, clean, comfortable beds, welcoming and has a great vibe.

The location is perfect! Just a short walk (less than 5 minutes) takes you to the beautiful Nabetahama Beach and many nearby attractions. The sunrise views from the room are absolutely gorgeous. For those who want to explore the area, the guesthouse offers free bicycles to borrow. There's also a fully-equipped kitchen you can use for free if you'd like to cook, and even a BBQ area for outdoor grilling. The bathroom, while a little dated, is clean and comfortable. The host, Yuki, is incredibly helpful and generous with his time and advice. He even assisted me with a luggage delivery service. His excellent English makes communication a breeze. True to its name, this guesthouse truly offers everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay!
