Hotels met Breakfast in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan

Great location, right next to Wakayama Station and in the same building with Kintetsu Department Store. Room is pretty clean. There is a guest lounge with free coffee and tea.

Pros: •I don't see the point in just choosing a room here. Be sure to get a superior Japanese-style room with an open air bath or even a bungalow, and definitely one with a sea view. Then you're guaranteed a complete experience. •The hotel welcomes guests barefoot or in socks on tatami mats, a very pleasant and authentic experience. •VIEWS!! Gorgeous panoramic views of the ocean. •This is a traditional ryokan, so tattoos are not allowed, BUT I was immediately given tape to cover up the tattoos on my arms, and everything was fine. •Delicious food, lots of delicious food! The breakfasts are especially amazing. •The hotel offers a lot of complimentary drinks, and the after-onsen area has free ice cream and cold water. They serve local ramen from 10-11 PM also complementary. •All the onsen are very clean and cool. Especially the male and female one, built into a cliff right on the ocean shore, has a view. By the way, they provide special clothing, so if you're shy, don't worry. •There were no stink bugs. It's important to understand that this is nature, and insects are normal. Cons: •Despite the fact that many foreigners stay here, there's almost no English navigation and the staff speaks very little English. •There are only two private onsen, and the ryokan is huge; it was easiest to get the key to the private ones in the evening. •The main dishes at the kaiseki dinner were surprisingly disappointing (dry rice and tasteless noodles), although the other dishes were very good. •The onsen are closed from 10:00 to 15:00, so there's nothing to do during these 5 hours, especially if the weather is bad 😭 •The ryokan doesn't offer food other than breakfast and dinner and don’t have a restaurant, so if it rains or a typhoon, you'll have to go outside the hotel to find food. Conclusion: If this is your first ryokan, it's probably better to choose a more tourist-oriented one. If you want to fully immerse yourself in onsen culture and be captivated by the ocean, this is a great choice ☺️

The location is not the most central, but it is right next to Wakayama Castle, which is a big plus. In the evening, it’s very pleasant to take a walk around the castle area — quiet, scenic, and relaxing. There are bus stops nearby, making it fairly convenient to get around, though buses do not run very frequently. It’s best to check the schedule on Google Maps in advance. On the ground floor, there is a 24-hour FamilyMart, which is very convenient. There is also a McDonald’s (closes at 8pm) and a few nearby restaurants, so food is not really a concern. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Check-out was quick and hassle-free. Overall, for the price I paid, this hotel exceeded my expectations. I would recommend it to travellers who don’t mind a quieter area and enjoy being close to Wakayama Castle.

Als je Wakayama City bezoekt, is dit een erg handige locatie. Het gebied rondom is veel levendiger dan bij Wakayama Station, met een bibliotheek, een Tsutaya-boekwinkel, lokale supermarkten en drogisterijen in de buurt. Met de Nankai Electric Railway is alles gemakkelijk bereikbaar en bovendien goedkoper dan de bus. Dankzij een eerdere recensie wisten we dat het hotel te vinden was door de centrale uitgang van het Nankai Electric Railway Station te nemen, linksaf te slaan op de hoofdweg en dan de ingang tussen Taiga Securities en Starbucks te nemen. Als je alleen op doorreis bent, is een plek bij Wakayama Station waarschijnlijk geschikter. Het ontbijt vond ik ook erg goed; veel uitgebreider dan bij ons vorige verblijf. Het uitzicht op de rivier was prachtig, we zagen 's ochtends de roeiers trainen. De openlucht hot spring op het dak was ook comfortabel. Hij was niet groot, maar de open lucht zorgde ervoor dat het niet benauwend aanvoelde. We hadden twee kamers geboekt voor drie personen. Hoewel er in één kamer misschien een slaapbank stond, boekten we toch op basis van het werkelijke aantal. De prijs voor deze twee kamers was vergelijkbaar met wat we eerder betaalden voor een driepersoonskamer in een ander hotel.

The location is pefect, only 2mins walking to a Shopping Complex, where you can buy cheaper food in the food street. Basically we are going thru the Shopping Complex from the hotel to train/ bus station, a lil bit confused in the first place, but get used to it after few attempts. We couldnt buy the ticket for the movies in the TV from the ticket machine, and the Netflix is not allowable in the room, so we end up watching the Japanese shows without subtitle. The complementary breakfast is average, its convenient for you, but do not expect it to be a very satisfying one.

Very nice seaside hotel located within walking distance from train station. They plan the breakfast and dinner so meticulously that they ensure you enjoy different set meals everyday. For early birds, you’ll get a complimentary drink for dinner. Staff are friendly and approachable. It also comes with onsen and complimentary coffee and noodles.

Great location of the hotel. The bus station was near, also Lawson and Family Mart were near. The hotel is quite old, but it didn’t bother me at all. It was quite clean and the room was very spacious. The view was incredible! The onsen was very good, especially the one on the second floor. You can lie in the hot water and admire the ocean. And sleeping on tatami is the best. If you are not a fan of sleeping on tatami and a hard pillow, you should choose a Western-style room.

The location is just fine for seeing museums, it’s just for eating options (including supermarkets) that it’s a bit out of the way. Microwave and vending machines on the ground floor. It’s a good value and glad I picked this for my 3 night stay. I didn’t try the breakfast since it looked like it might be fully booked from the sign but I might have been misunderstanding what it was saying.

De kamer was prima en voelde ruim aan; er was zelfs ruimte om een 26-inch koffer open te klappen. De onsen en de ijsjes als kleine traktaties waren allemaal top. Het hotelpersoneel was bijzonder attent en zorgde goed voor de behoeften van de gasten, wat de verfijndheid en het oog voor detail van het Japanse managementsysteem perfect weerspiegelt – echt iets om van te leren. Over het ontbijt valt niets aan te merken; het zat boordevol lokale smaken en specialiteiten uit Kishu en bood een uitgebreide selectie van streekproducten. Vlak voor het uitchecken kreeg ik plotseling last van mijn maag, waardoor ik wat later was. De receptie bleef hierbij zeer beleefd en deed totaal niet moeilijk – grote complimenten daarvoor! Hoewel Japan bekendstaat om punctualiteit en strikte regels, verdient de receptie hiervoor een speciale dank. Mijn dochter had bovendien een creditcard in haar pyjamazak laten liggen, en de medewerkster van de receptie is zelfs persoonlijk met ons meegegaan om deze terug te vinden. Erg bedankt!

A private hot spring bath is superb in the room for relaxation. Friendly front desk reception staff Victor is helpful.
