Hot Springs Hotels in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan

Great staying, big rooms, lovely onsen, nice freebies in the evening and excellent breakfast. For the breakfast there was so much choice and it was so good! Honestly one of the best hotel breakfast I had, probably the best in Japan.

Couldn’t deny that the onsen is probably the best that I ever been! And there are few to choose from which are really nice. The room itself however is pretty old. Food is really good and great selection both for morning and dinner in buffet style. Hilltop view is also the best in the area.

I've stayed at the Kame no Ii before, and it felt like an ordinary chain traditional Japanese hot spring hotel. This one seems to be newly renovated on the basis of an old hotel, which exceeded expectations. The private hot spring pool is made of stone, and the Pacific Ocean is outside the fence. However, the shower facilities are right next to the hot spring pool, and they are also open-air. The hot spring pool is very warm in winter, but it's a bit cold when taking a shower. There are some amusement equipment in the lobby, including table games and coin-operated machines, and I dream of Namco 🤣 The dinner is a set meal, a bit exquisite, and there is also Kumano beef. It's pretty good. The breakfast is more standard Japanese style, and there is no particularly delicious memory point. I stayed in Nachikatsuura for one night in Urashima and one night in Kame no Ii, and it was a different experience. Kame no Ii's room is updated, especially this private hot spring is really recommended.

Hotel near JR station. Provides free opsicles, ramen, yogurt drink. We love the free massage chairs and onsen.

I booked this treasure hotel for the Japanese-style room with sea view. It was my first time to Kata, a small seaside city with a particularly beautiful place. The Taiyu tram is very cute. The hotel has a free shuttle to Kata Station. You can call the hotel in advance to confirm the arrival time on the day. The car was not available until 9 o'clock the next morning, so I walked directly to the station in the morning and arrived in about 20 minutes. Baidu Maps is still very accurate. There are plain public yukatas and free gray split-toe socks in the room. If you like cute yukatas, you can choose one yourself in the lobby. The room is a bit like a circle, with a toilet, bathroom and a sofa facing the sea view on the outside. The Japanese tatami is in the box. The area is quite large. The tatami bedding will be laid out when you come in to eat. The hotel's hot spring faces the sunset, and I soaked for nearly an hour to wait for the sunset. The men's and women's baths will be switched in the morning and evening. The sunset at the seaside is really a great view. Dinner can be added, it is kaiseki cuisine, and there are really many sea bream dishes. If you have a chance, you must come to Kata in Wakayama

This hotel is one of the best traditional onsen hotels in Shirahama area. It's a little aged but very warm. We booked a bigger room with the seaview. The view was awesome. There are 3 private onsen huts which you can enjoy with your loved ones with privacy. We had our best onsen experience in this trip.

We stay in 4 people Japanese style ocean view. The room is too old and small, stains on wall and closet door. The bed is thinner than expected. Buffet breakfast has not much choice, swimming pools and many other things have to pay extra. All staff are nice except one guy in the game room area is very rude! Outdoor hot spring have many insects and have to walk stairs . Overall the stay is unpleasant.

The hotel is located on a mountain by the sea, with a quiet environment and high privacy, and beautiful views outside the hotel and in the rooms. Breakfast and dinner are buffet style. The place is spacious and comfortable with a full sense of space. The food variety is wide and the quality is very good. The hotel's indoor hot spring pool is quite large, and the outdoor hot spring pool has a sea and sky view. At night, you can look up at the stars while soaking in the hot spring, feeling relaxed and comfortable. The rest area outside the hot spring area is simply but tastefully decorated. The hotel staff are friendly and diligent, which is worthy of praise. After dinner, guests can enjoy free drinks and snacks in the hotel lobby bar. The hotel’s homemade wines are particularly outstanding and are definitely worth a tasting.

You can see the Sanshuikan when you get off the Kawayu Onsen Station. You need to walk a little further to Matsuya. The guy at the front desk was very friendly and checked me in quickly. The room is not big, you need to make the bed yourself. I didn't look carefully at the bedding, but it was comfortable to sleep. The bathroom has a toilet and a small basin, but no shower. There is a river outside the window. Half board 700+, green house open-air hot spring, high cost performance

Since mu friend and I did a hiking trip, we walked to this accommodation. I think it would be better to drive or taking bus to there instead of walking. I really appreciate the outdoor onsen. The hotel is very close to the bus stop that taking us to our next hiking point, just a few minutes walk. There are some attractions nearby, like the big figure hanging on the bridge. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to visit them. If you’re staying here, you should arrive earlier and take a look at the surroundings. The front desk staff can speak Mandarin. So if you are a Chinese, you will find it easier to communicate. The hotel is very clean, because you need to change shoes everywhere.
