KAMENOI HOTEL NACHI KATSUURA KUMANO KODO

Kisyu Shirahama Onsen Musashi

8/10 Good

"This was a really cool retro/traditional hotel. While very well maintained, the ambience is something out of the 1970s. The traditional room with tatami mat flooring and the sliding doors with rice paper were so lovely. I enjoyed sleeping on the futon, which the staff comes and lays out for you in the evening. Beach access to Shirahama beach is almost perfect. The sea view room did not disappoint for views. The breakfast and supper buffets were the most diverse and wonderful I have ever experienced. They can get very busy and chaotic, however. The staff were.soooo helpful. The baths were very nice and I did not experience any busy-ness in them. Overall, a great and super unique experience!"

Shiraraso Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good things: Excellent location - it just a few steps to the Shirahama beach, and a bus stop just outside the hotel. Great staff at the check-in counter, room is clean and okay. Bad things: It's a dated hotel, the room is clean but the hallway (3rd floor) is a little bit smelly. The traditional restaurant mostly serves local Japanese, I don't feel wellcomed during our dinner time. Also, there was nobody to open the sliding door at the restaurant exit when we leave, but they did for the local Japanese."

Mercure Wakayama Kushimoto Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I liked everything except the bathroom, which badly needed some new hardware, water pressure was excellent. It's on top of the mountain be aware if you're coming from grueling hike. Very spacious room. Raised beds. Vending machines on floor 2, and water filling centers on every floor. Laundry room. Yes it was great."

Grand Mercure Wakayama Minabe Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"While our stay at this location was short, it was fantastic. They have put in quite a bit of work to make the hotel clean and well taken care of, they rent electric assist bicycles to get to town for groceries or exploring. My family loved the hot springs. Laundry onsite. Beautiful beach nearby, although not great for swimming or snorkeling it was very pretty, quiet, and private. Staff is incredibly helpful. They sell packages that include breakfast and dinner, but not lunch. The buffets are HUGE with tons of food and drink options. I 100% would stay here again."
