What is Pension in Japan ?

<We are Host Family of Pension Sakuraya in Shirahama beach, Shimoda>

In Japan, there are about 3,000 "Pensions" more. The name of Pension taken from the French "Pension",yet pronounced in the English manner (as in retirement income). Pension is similar to B&B in U.K., however, some of them are almost hotel ( or Ryokan ) except for number of guest rooms. We prepare a dinner and breakfast . Basically Pension offers minimum physical service to the guests. For example, many Pension do'nt supply any amenity goods such as towels, shaver, bathrobe and night clothes. But we, Sakuraya supply a toothbrush, a small towel, shampoo, bodysoap, and a night clothe of Japanese style "Yukata". Additionally, the facilities of Pension are simpler than many hotels. However, many Pensions are proud of their heartful and personal service. Probably 99% of Pensions are managed by families. Many guests will feel the owner and staff are their friends.

Our Pension is clean, neat and clearful, with a friendly and homelike atmosphere. Please ask us anything and anytime.

We welcome a family with babies !
