Hot Springs Hotels in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan

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.

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.

Location: The hotel is about a 5-minute walk from the bus station Jiangjinliang, but there is an uphill road, which is quite tiring. However, the hotel provides pick-up and drop-off at Shirahama Station, which needs to be booked in advance. Food: Traditional Japanese meals are served in the morning and evening. Those who like raw and cold food will definitely like it. If you don’t like seafood, it is recommended not to include meals. The hotel refrigerator drinks are free to drink, and small snacks, milk and ice cream are also provided 24 hours a day. Service: Very polite and courteous, the waiter will take the initiative to say hello when they meet daily. Hygiene: The room is very new and the hygiene is very good. Hot spring: There is no large bath, all are private baths. You can see the sea, but it is far away. If you come to Shirahama again, I will choose it again.

Overall, it was a very satisfying stay. What was particularly impressive was the welcome drink service and the ice cream provided after the bath. I was very happy with these little touches. Breakfast was served buffet style, and there was a wide variety of items, all of which were delicious and very satisfying. The food was made with local ingredients, and I felt luxurious from the morning. The only thing that bothered me was the dinner options. I had planned to eat dinner outside this time, but unfortunately it was raining and it was difficult to get around, and it was more than a 20-minute walk to Kushimoto Station. I was going to drink alcohol at dinner, so I couldn't drive, and I felt it was a bit inconvenient to have to take a taxi. Also, I thought that if the selection of products at the convenience store was a little better, it would be more comfortable for people who don't want to go out in bad weather, or who don't want to use the hotel restaurant. Nevertheless, the hotel's facilities, service, and staff were all of a high standard, and I had a very pleasant stay. I would definitely stay here again if I have the opportunity.

I had a great experience staying at this hotel! The view from our room was amazing and we particularly enjoyed the private onsen, which allowed us to unwind while watching the stunning sunset. The staff were all very friendly and polite, which made our stay even better. However, the hotel's location is next to the beach, which means you have to climb a slope to get there. It is also quite far from the JR station, and the only public transportation available is a 30-minute bus ride. Additionally, there are no restaurants or convenience stores nearby, so you might want to plan ahead for meals.

The sea view room was great, very clean and tidy, beautiful and comfortable, private outdoor spring in the room, excellent for staying in the room. However, the meals were very disappointed that were unexpected to cost about US$600 for a night including dinner and breakfast for 2 adults and a kid. In particular, the foods for my kid were unacceptable for this price. The restaurant was not clean and the staff were not attentive. We booked the room through Trip.com and mentioned we have a 9 years old kid with us. The staff said they have no such record and required me to prove. Luckily I have the booking record in my App and showed them we did. Then, they said it should be the problem from Trip.com. And then, they said ok and would cost 25000 yen extra for my kid. I accepted, and then they said they could not provide an extra bed for my kid and reduced the cost to 20000 yen, and I also accepted. As a customer, I felt this was not attentive and not polite to request me to prove I had mentioned a kid for the booking. That’s all fine, but the quality and taste for the meals were really unacceptable at this price range, the breakfast was horrible. At last, my case wasn’t a communication problem because the staff who talked to us wasn’t a Japanese and was a native English speaker. Anyhow, the facilities and the room of this hotel were excellent, but the meals and services were not worth for this price.

Nice hotel especially the ferry is quite interesting. Spa is good enough for the fee. One thing is the traffic too early finish daily: 19:30 last shutter bus and ferry. And no place to eat luckily has Lawson. Will try again and recommend to friends

The hotel was good overall, and the staff were the highlight in general. We only encountered one issue which was when we called reception in the early evening and the guy on the phone panicked due to a lack of English and hung up. The staff we met on reception in the day were fantastic. Additionally, the outdoor mixed Onsen is a nice feature, as it allowed for my wife and I to relax by the river together rather than being separated.

Our stay at Fukuchi-In was amazing. We slept in a traditional japanese room and had a delicious dinner and breakfast in another incredibly beautiful room, shared with other guests. We attended the morning prayers and enjoyed the indoor and outdoor onsens. There was heating in the room :)

高台にあり、露天風呂から太平洋が見える。 和室の部屋は充分な広さで寛げる。 予約したプランの食事は、惣菜2種、揚げ物、刺身、豚肉の小鍋、ご飯味噌汁だったが、少量のため、刺身5種盛合わせを追加。
