Hotels With bar in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan

The hotel offers a self-service breakfast and dinner, with a wide variety of Japanese and Western options, all of which were delicious! The open-air hot spring with a sea view was fantastic! The pool and foot bath outside the lobby on the first floor were also great. The hotel is about a ten-minute walk from Shirahama Beach, and going there to watch the sunset in the evening was a wonderful experience.

Facility : Hotel provide open hot spring to every host and private hot spring with very reasonable price. Both have good view, clean facility and clear instruction Service : All staff are helpful and polite. Welcome message everywhere. Food : tasty and fresh dishes to let you taste Japan everyday. In addition, they introduce to you different sake with very good price. Lastly, staff will introduce to you different dishes so as to understand Japan more.

Very nice hotel with wonderful outdoor onzen bath, great service and excellent food. Two downsides though: Our bedroom was facing a brick wall which is not what you would expect when booking a hotel in this location, and at that price level. I wish we had been notified beforehand. Also, the service in the restaurant was very rushed. The hotel was very busy due to the ***** new year and I guess they were trying to get clients quickly through dinners to rotate services quickly but given the quality of the food, it was unfortunate that we could not spend more time enjoying it. But other than that, the hotel was great and I highly recommend it.

The hotel environment is clean and beautiful, and the service is very attentive. The breakfast buffet is abundant. We chose a Japanese-style (tatami) room, which was spacious and tidy. There's a large public onsen on the top floor, and private onsen baths are also available for reservation (3500 JPY per session). The swimming pool wasn't open, so we missed out on that. The location is very convenient, right next to Shirahama Beach. The only minor drawback is that the hotel is located on a hill, so walking up the steep slope back to the hotel every day was a bit of a challenge for our cardio and stamina, but we just considered it a workout, which was fine. If we come to Shirahama again, we'll definitely choose this place.

It's a yellow building in the shopping district, about a 5-minute walk from JR Kii-Katsuura Station, and it's easy to find. It appears to be run by a small staff, as there is a phone at the front desk. When I contacted them, a staff member responded immediately. They carefully checked my accommodation details, making sure I had brochures for sightseeing in the area and offering recommendations. The building itself is old, but well-maintained and I didn't feel particularly inconvenienced. Loungewear, toothbrushes, a kettle with green tea, and an air purifier are also provided. Makeup remover, face wash, lotion, and emulsion are not provided, but I brought these with me so this wasn't a problem. Check-out was smooth; I simply put my key in the designated box. There are only a few accommodations near the station, so I was glad to be able to stay in a well-located place at a low cost.

It took over 4 hours to get to Hotel Urashima from Kyoto, which isn't actually that far, but even their express trains are a far cry from our high-speed rail. I took an 'Ocean Arrow' train which felt quite old. There was a small observation car between 3-4 carriages, which was fine for enjoying the scenery. After arriving at the JR station, it's a short walk to the pier to catch a boat to the hotel. The self check-in machines at the hotel were incredibly convenient. It printed out vouchers for both dinner that night and breakfast the next morning, which was very handy. Staff were on hand to guide, and everything was clear. I booked a Japanese-Western style quad room, which was quite spacious and had nice views. The room provided yukata that you could wear to the hot springs and for meals. The onsen on the 33rd floor is only open to guests staying in the 'Sanjo-kan' (Mountain building), and it was deserted when we went. The 'Bokaro-do' (Forgetting-to-return-home Cave) in the main building is the most distinctive, and while it was crowded, the scenery was well worth it. We also hiked a section of the Kumano Kodo on our second day, which I highly recommend. The hotel also offers fishing rod rentals, which I believe are available until 5:30 PM. The Sanjo-kan connects to Mount Noroshi, where you can watch the sunset. The Pacific Ocean water is crystal clear, and the scenery is absolutely stunning! If I had to mention a downside, the dining was not impressive. The daily set meals were very limited in variety, and the buffet was just average, not nearly as amazing as the hot spring hotels near Lake Kawaguchiko at the foot of Mount Fuji, where the food was spectacular. If you don't mind the hassle, you can take a boat to town for dinner.

Here’s a polished review you can use: --- The room is clean, cozy, and quiet — perfect for a relaxing stay. The bed is very comfortable, and the air conditioner works great with options for both cooling and heating. I especially enjoyed the bathtub, which was really nice. The staff are very helpful and speak good English, making check-in and communication smooth. A simple breakfast of toast and coffee is included, like the orange jam! The location is convenient, just a short walking distance from the main train station, and there’s even a free foot spa nearby — a lovely bonus! Overall, a very pleasant stay. Highly recommended.

This is the best hotel experience! It's perched on a hilltop in Kushimoto, and the lobby offers an unbeatable ocean view. You absolutely have to choose the one-meal-two-stay package; the buffet dinner runs until 9 PM, which is perfect for a satisfying meal after a day of sightseeing. They have a great selection, including tuna sashimi, a special tea-rice dish, Western cuisine, and more – definitely a top-notch buffet. My favorite part was the public bath. There's an outdoor section with sea views, which is incredibly relaxing. The waiting area is spacious and even has free ice cream bars, which the kids absolutely loved. The most relaxing aspect was the happy hour in the lobby, with unlimited beer, wine, sparkling drinks, and snacks. You can just sit back and enjoy the blissful ocean views. The only downside: there was a strong musty smell, especially noticeable and persistent when it rained.

A truly satisfying hotel in Shirahama! All facilities and the main building are accessible, and the hot springs and foot bath are excellent. The room wasn't small, and even though it was facing the road, it was incredibly quiet at night. The sea breeze was so pleasant! Shirahama is a lot of fun, and I'll definitely stay at Key 1 again next time! The location is super convenient; it's easy to walk to everything nearby. I even walked to the local beer factory for a refreshing pint – fantastic!

The room faces the harbor and is very comfortable. The area is very quiet at night. It's a 15-minute walk from the seafood market. Senjojiki, Sandanbeki, and White Beach are all close together. The bus station is also very close, only ten minutes away. Secondly, the hotel's breakfast and dinner are very rich and attentive. I recommend everyone to try the kaiseki! The facilities in the room are very comprehensive and have a strong sense of ceremony. There are private baths and foot baths. It's so refreshing to soak in them after a day of strolling! The hotel also provides a bus shuttle service to the station, and free bicycles are available. I rented a bicycle and saw many beautiful views around the island. Finally, the owner, Lao Bai, is very hospitable and will drive us out to play. The two staff members can also communicate in Chinese, so it's basically barrier-free. It's very suitable for an in-depth vacation. A very satisfying trip
