A 2-minute walk from Wakayamashi Station on the Nankai Line. Recommended for business trips and sightseeing!
"Great place to stay close to the train and us station. Staff super nice and friendly, they helped me accommodate on a quiet room as I'm a light sleeper.
Very recommended, I would definitely stay here again!"

GGuest UserArrive at JR Shirahama Station and then transfer to the taxi for about 4 minutes. It is very close to Toretore market and can be reached on foot. The rooms are panda-shaped and spacious inside. Dinner and breakfast are buffet style 
GGuest UserWe stayed in this lovely family hotel for a night, we opted for room stay with dinner and breakfast. There's no shops or restaurant near by, so highly suggest to choose the stay with meals option, otherwise there's cooking facility within the room also, so I think it's possible to cook your own meal if necessary.
Location - the hotel is just round the corner of the famous Shirasaki Ocean Park, we even had a good view of the park from our room. There's parking space right in front of the hotel building, so it's very handy. We cycled to the Shirasaki Ocean Park then to the hotel, so it worked out perfect. There's a very steep slop going up to the hotel though, but it wasn't an issue for us as we pushed out bikes up.
Facilities - this is a family run hotel which believes was built a while ago, so can't compare it to all those new built hotels. The ”room” we stayed is more like a mini flat, it has a big kitchen, good sized bathroom with changing area, a separate toilet, a living room, bedroom and an extra ”sitting” area. The entire flat is in traditional Japanese style which we loved, and it has all facilities that made our stay comfortable. It also has coined washing machine and driers. We could even access to rooftop on the 4th floor to view the sunset. If you're looking for a quiet place to have quality time, then this is a good place to do so. There's also ”public bath” within the hotel, it's small but wasn't an issue for us. There's also shower and bath in the room also if you want some privacy.
Food - all food was cooked and prepared by the hotel owner, and she's a talented chef! Dinner was impressive, breakfast was standard.
The hotel owner is very friendly and lovely, it's definitely ”the place” to stay if you're visiting the area. We highly recommend it.
OOlga SolovevaМилый отельчик в самом центре Коя-сан. До всех главных достопримечательностей рукой подать. Внутри чисто и аккуратно. Сотрудники приветливы, при заселении всё рассказали, показали.
Я приехала раньше времени заселения, со мной также у двери стояли две японки, мы звонили в звонок, но никто не выходил. Тогда одна из них позвонила по телефону, тут же прибежал монах, открыл нам дверь, мы оставили вещи и пошли гулять. На следующий день я оставила в холле свои вещи, пошла гулять и забрала их только в 5 вечера. Всё было в порядке, никто их не трогал и не возмущался, что я их там оставила, хотя уже съехала.
Комната приятная, с кондиционером, так что я сразу включила его на тепло и спала с включенным, т.к. было прохладно. Из окна был чудный вид на садик, но, полагаю, это не во всех номерах. В душевой порадовало наличие купели, правда я не особо успела в ней погреться, буквально 5 минут, т.к. поздно пришла с вечерней прогулки. С утра, к сожалению, душевая не работает.
Вегетарианский ужин и завтрак были вкусные.
GGuest UserYou need to stay at Shojoshin-in if you come to Koyasan! There's an English speaking receptionist when you check in, a Chinese monk and you can always use google translate to communicate with the Japanese-only staff/monks! There's goma prayers at 1pm, a tour of the temple only for lodgers at 4pm, dinner served at 530pm (& the food is super flavourful), you can do sutra copying in your room (pay at reception) and pay for a handwritten goshuin as well! Shojoshin-in is the closest temple to Okunoin's entrance so its super convenient to do a night tour (run by an external vendor). Main doors close at 5pm but you can enter through the side door. I met a Japanese lady whom stays only at Shojoshin-in when she comes to Koyasan every year! I miss this place already :(
OOlalla MI loved my stay, and was surprised by this property only being rated with a 7 because for such a low price in that area is amazing. According to what I've read, there's some things that have changed in comparison to previous years such as automated check-in/check-out (be aware that if you have any issue during check-in immediately the hotel stuff will call you to the phone on the desk behind you... it took me a while to realize that the call was for me :D ), there's an onsen now at the property at the 3rd floor, and there's no food service anymore.
Laundry is free (both waschmachine and dryer).
I was positively surprised!
MM36440****Booked a deluxe twin bed, the room is quite big, there is a sofa and a refrigerator, the room can see some sea views.
The first floor is a bakery. You can also buy coffee. The bread is delicious and will be discounted at night.
But pay attention! ! The hotel does not have a front desk staff! ! Look at Figure 5. Check in is like that, there is no front desk. Self check-in! ! Be sure to contact Trip.com before check-in, let Trip.com go to the hotel check-in code, and send it to you before check-in! ! (Because I didn't get the number of check-in codes sent by the hotel before I checked in and my friend didn't get the check-in code that the hotel sent before I checked in.
GGuest UserLocation 10/10:
in close proximity to the railway station, bus station convenience store. They have parking spaces, for cars and bikes. also kind of close to the town center, where the restaurants are and the store are.
Staff 10/10:
friendly and welcoming, tried their best to explain the how things works.
facilities
Basic facilities, toilets are abundant, clean. Sinks are clean.
individual room, with AC, and TV, there's a drying wire in the room, where you can pull out a nylon wire to the other side of the wall and hang your towels or clothing.
there's an actual onsen, very cool, although, in my opinion, it closes fairly early, travellers should plan ahead when they want to try it out.
GGuest UserThe hot springs are a bit dated and didn't seem very clean.
The toilets were across from our second-floor room, and as soon as we got there, we could smell a strong urine odor. The cleanliness needs to be improved.
I came here specifically for the food, which was absolutely delicious. It was definitely worth it. I give it a 120. They put a lot of thought into the preparation, and the portions were generous. It was like a truly luxurious set menu! The service was also very good.
I just hope the cleanliness could be improved...
LLvDarynaThe temple is really beautiful with stunning paintings in the dining room. There is a morning worship service you can join in which starts at 6am, but you can join any time as well as leave the service. Food is really delicious, I didn’t expect much from vegetarian dishes, but they were great. The amount of food is pretty decent, I didn’t feel hungry by the morning even tho I had dinner at 5pm. I traveled alone but I believe this room is specious enough for a couple. The convent location of the temple allows to walk to the main tramples and tourist office (where I got the night tour to the cemetery booked) as well as to the Eko-in temple from where that tour sets off.
LLily LiauwThe hotel is very nice and still feels brand new, with a great location close to Kii-Tanabe Station. The staff were friendly, the check-in process was fast, and the room was very clean and comfortable.
The laundry facilities, ice machine, and vending machines were all excellent. We also appreciated the free breakfast and complimentary coffee/tea in the afternoon.
This hotel is highly recommended and perfect as a starting point for the Kumano Kodo journey. One suggestion would be to offer breakfast earlier or provide breakfast boxes for hikers starting early in the morning.
Highly recommended, and we would definitely stay here again.
