Nice location (very close to JR Wakayama station in walking distance). The staff are nice and helpful. The onsen experience is good though the area is small but it is hygienic. Free snacks (ice sticks) and massager are nice to have. Room is comfortable and clean.
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.
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.
Nothing impressive, small and dark. Okay for a single guy , not sure about ladies. Close to Wakayama-Shi station, so getting around is easy.
Rooms have no view, just looking at pipes dripping water. Room smells of smoke. Toilets are hard to get into as they are ‘caravan size’ toilets and showers. The bath tub is very high, not ideal for elderly folks as the showers are installed within. They do have a ioniser and demister in the room to get rid of bad air and foul smoke smell but not very effective. If you plan to spend most of the day out, it’s ideal.
Comfy bed, large and clean room. Have common areas like shared kitchen at the residence. The residence is located next to the main block of the hotel. You have to walk outside for ~2min to travel to the main block if you would like to enjoy the hot spring / play at the game room / exchange for new towels. Hot spring is nice, with indoor and outdoor areas. The outdoor one is with stunning sea view. There are snooker, table tennis, and other games in the game room for all guests.
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 hotel was really nice. The front desk staff were very friendly and confident, and check-in was very easy. The room wasn’t very big, but it was very clean, and a lot of small details made it feel really thoughtful. I’d definitely come back here again. Wakayama is really beautiful.
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.
Erittäin hyvä
