Everything was great

The view was incredible from the room, the onsen, and the restaurant. Dinner was delicious and the staff were friendly. The courtesy pick up and drop off service from the nearby train station was really efficient and helpful. This is a beautiful part of Wakayama, very close to Wakayama City, that is well worth visiting if you want to be close to the ocean.

Entering the hotel from the car park at the back gives a poor impression compared to how nice the hotel is

Sea view, food, service, room size

This is not the hotel's fault, but a French lady entered the onsen without showering beforehand. I want to stress that this is not the hotel's responsibility, and she did not listen even after being informed to wash properly. I felt sorry that the staff had to educate people like this as it ruins the experience for everyone. There was also a group of Singaporean lads who turned off the light outside, which made other guests uncomfortable. They wanted to see the stars, we told them to turn it back on as it was too dark otherwise but covering the light switches might help prevent this issue.

Loved the staff who were very kind and warm. The onsen was also beautiful as well - I loved that we could enjoy the veranda outside with the ocean view and the seats were very comfortable. It was nice that we were able to have cooling teas upon arrival and the restaurant meal was delicious. The hotel is within reach to a famous shrine and a lovely seaside wharf walk. We were able to watch some of the local community practice for the エビ祭り which was also very unique and fun to see. I enjoyed that it didn't feel overly crowded and the train ride here was also thoroughly enjoyable. A perfect weekend treat!

We had a large bag and the staff would not allow us to use the elevator.

Maybe overall not the newest hotel, and I wished maybe there was air extraction in the toilets of our room, but it was not a big concern.

Superb view on the shore (we got beautiful sunsets, from the bedroom, from the dining space, and from the onsen :) Nice traditional room. Amazing breakfast. Great onsen! Free parking.

The smoking

They were nice and changed a room from me to nun smoking room And it was great I don’t understand how come smoking is not banned here

I booked at the last minute and wasn’t able to order the seafood dinner and breakfast (that needs to be 3 days in advance). I was able to eat lunch nearby, but if you don’t get a room with meals included you should eat before getting on the train to Kada and bring snacks.

The ocean view from the room and the hot spring bath was wonderful. I appreciated the little details that made the overall experience nicer, like the driver of the shuttle taking the 10 minute scenic route along the coast instead of straight through town to the hotel. It was fun to choose from the variety of colorful yukata(robes) available for women and children that can be worn after bathing. (Sorry men, there’s only one standard pattern for you.) The nearby beach was also beautiful, although empty because swimming season had ended.

The staff were super friendly and always eager to help. Amazing seaside views, especially during dinner and in the outdoor bath. Delicious food and an overall great experience!

Be careful as the town doesn't have any supermarkets or convenience stores even though this is part of the charm. However I stayed on a Tuesday and a Wednesday where most restaurants and shops were closed so there is little to no options beyond the restaurants at the hotel.

The town and the hotel felt like a memory from the Showa era. The view of the ocean is spectacular. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

Great location, good service, great food, useful shuttle to/from railway station

I was not aware that the hotel was not in Wakayama, but two train changes and a shuttle ride to Kada. It would have been helpful for the hotel to provide further information on how to get there.

I loved the view and the onsen The seafood meal was also excellent I also liked walking around the town and finding the shrine

Stayed in April 2024

The town of Kada is VERY MUCH a fishing village. So if you want to eat locally for lunch better do so by 3pm, if they have food left by then. You're in kada for this onsen and the Shrine next door that is the beginning of the Girl's Day tradition, that's it.

Mistakenly arrived at 9am for my scheduled 8 am breakfast (they close at 9am) but was still able to enjoy it. I do like that they alternate the onsens between men and women so you can enjoy both if staying at least 2 nights. Plenty of seating on the patio to be able to ready by the seaside with the gentle breeze :)

Nothing to my dislike. All good despite things a bit old. But is still good condition. And we strike for sustainability.

Quite n peace little place. I like it away from hectic city life. And give the employment opportunity to the local.

The facilities in the bathroom are a little old and crowded. It would be great to have milk for breakfast.

The staff are very warm-hearted and friendly. The shuttle bus can take me from/to kada station, which is very convenient. There are all kinds of things in the bathroom, which is very sweet. The restaurant in the hotel and open-air soup pool has a beautiful view.

The tatami bed was too thin n we couldn’t sleep properly. No extra pillows too.

Nice quiet resort directly facing the sea! We get to explore the quieter area near the hotel and driving there is easy. Breakfast and dinner was ok 👌
