kathleen.familyJun 10, 2024 Really lovely ryokan and onsen with beautiful ocean views. The futons were very comfortable, as well. It's a little outside of Wakayama city (about 30 minutes/¥3500 by taxi), but there is a nearby bus and they have a parking area if you are driving. The staff speaks a little English, but don't expect the same level of English that you might get at a larger, urban hotel. Overall, it was very relaxing and I would definitely recommend it.
Very nice staff and great rooms and views
kenneth.familyApr 08, 2024 This place was so great I wished I could have stayed longer. The only warning I have is that it is on a mountainside so you will need to bring food with you or take buses/taxis for your lunch and dinner.
The staff was wonderful! Very helpful! The hot springs are amazing
Wonderful baths, beautiful views, delicious Japanese food, exceptionally warm and helpful staff. Truly a wonderful get away. The chef graciously accommodated our vegetarian diet. Staff made sure all our needs were met and helped facilitate transportation for a day trip to Nachi Falls. Amenities were thoughtful. Grounds were under some renovation during our visit, but it was peaceful and very enjoyable. Wakayama station was a convenient hub for coming and going.
Staff were friendly but not informative. They didn’t inform us about the amenities to use for the onsen. Onsen too cramp and products offer are limited. No socks provided in the room too. We booked half board but was told it’s room only. The hot water takes 5 mins to come out. View is beautiful
It's a very pleasant stay with exceptionally good dinner and services. The room is cosy and clean with a beautiful view. The onsens are good too.
A relaxing end to our two week tour of Japan
Choose one of the three new suites in the annex and you’ll be enjoying a high-end Spa hotel... big rooms with comfy beds, European style shower-room, sun-deck with private hot-tub and great sunset views over the harbour, also enjoyed by the traditional Onsen baths.
Evening dinner is pricey but an investment in top quality Japanese Kaiseki - a tasting menu of the best local fish and traditional cuisine. Make sure you book the night before, as there are very few alternatives in the immediate vicinity.
There isn’t a lot to do locally but the hotel offers a free shuttle-bus to and from Wakayama centre.
Mostly though, you’ll enjoy relaxing on the sun deck watching the fishing boats come and go with their daily catch.
My children are afraid of lizard . Unfortunately , there was one lizard in our washroom during our stay .if you have kids who are afraid of insects , be aware of that
The photos make the hotel look better than it is. It’s tired and too out the way. However, staff were helpful and found us a nice local Japanese restaurant
Very traditional. Could use some TLC in the rooms. Bathhouse lovely. Staff very nice. Traditional breakfast only, but lovely.
日本のアマルフィと呼ばれる景色がとっても美しかったです。海をながめるテラスもあって、いろいろな工夫が感じられるお宿です。お食事が最高においしい宿です。鮮度最高、美しく、上品なお味で、サービスも行き届いています。海を見ながら入る温泉も素晴らしい。色や匂いのない温泉で、お湯がやわらかくとてもよかったです。歴史あるお宿なので、棟によってお部屋の雰囲気が違うようです。
wai y.partnerNov 03, 2024 旅館設計精緻，乾淨，還附送浴衣，可體驗傳統日本文化，我購買的是一泊二食，晚餐與早餐均是傳統和食，很豐富，亦很美味，有機會會再來！
circle.familyJul 14, 2024 如果一泊二食的菜式更多樣化更滿意。室內浸浴風景很美，但很細。
