Hotels With spa in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan

The hotel and room were very clean and tidy. The food was delicious, and it was great to have both breakfast and dinner right there at the hotel. The hot springs were fantastic too, and after a soak, there was complimentary ice cream and yogurt. The hotel even provided complimentary late-night ramen for guests. The value for money here is truly exceptional!

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.

Highly recommend the Wakayama Onsen Hotel! The hot springs are absolutely wonderful, genuinely natural, and the facilities are very clean. Each hot spring room even has a TV. The sauna room also has a TV. It's about a 7-minute walk from the station, and there aren't too many dining options nearby. They offer free ramen 🍜 after 9:30 PM, free ice cream 🍦 after your hot spring dip during the day, and free massage chairs. You can also borrow and read as many manga books as you like.

This hotel is located right above Wakayama City subway station and is very new. The service was incredibly warm and welcoming, and the room had a great view. Breakfast was superb, and soaking in the open-air onsen felt like the whole world went quiet – it was just you, enjoying the peaceful soak. If you're coming to Wakayama City, you absolutely have to stay here; the transportation is also incredibly convenient.

Booked for kumano kodo, was a good stay and had very good first impressions. I liked their shuttle bus. Lots of options and made traveling around easier. Staff member “RYU” was particularly an amazing part of the experience. She made sure we were comfortable. I loved the room and it felt like a very traditional experience. Only thing I disliked was the water in the hot spring. It was not something you could dig, and the “hot spring” (outdoor) had a lot of sediment from dead leaves that made it feel a bit dirty.

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.

The rooms are spacious, but the hotel is quite old, so the facilities are outdated. However, because there are indoor and outdoor hot springs, many locals stay there on weekends, and the lobby bar offers complimentary snacks and drinks, making it good value overall. However, the hotel's location is remote, and there aren't many restaurants nearby, making it very inconvenient if you're not traveling by car.

Definitely interesting experience. Partly tourist tradition, partly religious. As a new, atypical experience in Japan, the meal ritual and the vegetarian cuisine itself were interesting. Participation in the morning Buddhist prayer was valuable. Comfortable nice leather slippers. Saving hot springs on a rainy day. The strict end of the day time was inconvenient for us: the front door closed at 9 pm, and we were not allowed to linger during our walk. Quiet time from 9 p.m.Baths close at 8 and 9 pm. Thanks for the experience!🙏

room and onsen is clear and comfortable lobby staff told me the starting dinner time is wrong but at last they special to remake the dinner food for us (5 persons) we're so happy about their staff service very nice and helpful we will choose this hotel again

I've stayed at this hotel about once before It is a very special castle style design and the lobby is very gorgeous. Don’t believe it is just a 4-star hotel. I highly recommend this hotel. The hot springs are all designed. The breakfast and dinner buffets have a lot of variety and the taste is generally good. This time I will visit again and we will prepare welcome refreshments.
