Hot Springs hotels in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan

"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."

"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 ☺️"

"Ik bleef de dag ervoor om met mijn gezin naar Adventure World te gaan. Zoals vermeld in de beoordelingen van eerdere gasten, vond ik de klantenservice bij de receptie niet erg goed. 's Avonds was er tijdens de ronde een grote verscheidenheid aan gratis drankjes verkrijgbaar, waaronder de whisky ``Riku'' en de gin ``Sui.'' Maar 's avonds waren er zoveel buitenlandse toeristen in de lounge dat ik geen zitplaats kon bemachtigen, dus het leek mij beter om het aantal zitplaatsen in de lounge uit te breiden. Ik verbleef zonder maaltijden, maar er waren maar heel weinig restaurants in de buurt van het hotel om te eten, en ik moest ongeveer 20 minuten rijden om er te komen, dus ik raad aan om een ​​plan te boeken dat maaltijden omvat. (Je kunt het restaurant op de dag zelf gebruiken, maar de prijs was hoger dan ik had verwacht, dus besloot ik het niet te doen.) Er zijn verschillende reissites die relatief redelijke accommodatieplannen aanbieden, maar de faciliteiten waren beter dan de prijs. Ik zou het graag opnieuw willen gebruiken."

"好特別的酒店（民宿). 到步時已是黃昏，酒店店員開車接過行李便入酒店，可能是冬天，住客不多，晚餐早餐差不多像專人招待。私人風侶正，對住大海，看到好多星星。特別的事有個激光Show, 可以向店員要求寫上祝福字句，但要把握激光時間呵，好快自己的字句便過😂。整體很好👍"

"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!"

"Het hotel beschikt over een grote gratis parkeerplaats. U kunt buiten parkeren en naar de receptie lopen om in te checken. Het is heel dichtbij. De ober brengt u naar elke kamer. Als u tijdens de spitsuren incheckt, is de wachttijd voor de batterijwagen erg lang. Kortom, het is een resort dat geschikt is voor een eenmalige ervaring. Het ontbijt en het diner zijn ook prima. Het ligt naast de vismarkt van Toretore, dus de locatie is nog steeds geweldig!"

"A very excellent hotel, location convenient， the hot spring is awesome. the room is spacious and bright. All the staffs are very friendly and professional， taking really good care of the customers. I really appreciate it."

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

"We absolutely cannot contain our elation when recalling our recent stay at this remarkable hotel. From the moment we stepped into the elevator adorned with personalized name cards, my husband and I were enveloped in the warm embrace of hospitality. The attention to detail and the genuine kindness of the staff made us feel like VIP guests. They also thoughtfully provided a bucket for us to indulge in the glowing enchantment of firecrackers and even tidied the mess up afterwards. But the best memory of our stay here was definitely the culinary experience given by the chef extraordinaire — Master Chef Matsuki. His creations were nothing short of a gastronomic revelation. Each dish was a testament to his unwavering dedication and profound respect for the ingredients. Oh, the flavors — titillating all our taste buds in every bite. And the generosity of Chef Matsuki in sharing his culinary wisdom, guiding us on how to savor each morsel, elevated the entire dining experience to sheer perfection. The language barrier was no obstacle to the remarkable team of staff members who graced us with their presence. Their command of the English language was commendable, and even those who were not entirely fluent went above and beyond to cater to our every whim and need. Their genuine desire to assist us was palpable, leaving us feeling truly valued and cared for. I am already making plans to return with my beloved family, as I know they too deserve to bask in the unparalleled warmth and luxury that this establishment exudes. This hotel has set the bar impossibly high, redefining the meaning of hospitality and creating memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. So if you seek a hotel experience that transcends mere accommodation and transforms into a symphony of opulence, impeccable service, and culinary artistry, then look no further. This is the epitome of hospitality, a sanctuary where dreams come true, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who craves an unforgettable journey of indulgence and delight."

"Well run, excellent and very enjoyable. Host is incredible. Loved it."
