Nice traditional room, and fun Japan-style resort experience. The cave onsen is phenomenal! Also convenient that the Lawson’s is on site near the lobby. Only downside, I was hoping for a spa-like massage, but bypassed since it had the ambiance of a physical therapy or bone-setting clinic.
Location : around 10 min walk from the JR station to the pier where the hotel provides free shuttle bus/ ferry pick up service.
Room: nice size and view. Rather old style But i consider it reasonable as it is an old hotel.
Onsen : I love the cave onsen. Very rare. This is the most beautiful features at the hotel.
Meals: buffet style. I always prefer kaiseki style. But it is a big hotel with a lot of guests. Buffer style is easy to manage .
Staff: nice and helpful
Recommended for good value for money
Lovely hotel for after your hikes. The onsens were nice. The temperature was perfect for me. It is a dated hotel but i think the amenities were still good. You also get a free bath salt for completing 3 of the onsens. The staff were very nice and accommodating. You can leave your luggage even before check in and I was able to access the rooftop or mountain observatory. The buffet dinner and breakfast has a lot of variety so I think everyone has something for them there

The cave onsens are wonderful and we loved our breakfast looking out at the rocky coast and crashing waves at breakfast. The hotel is a 1960s throw-back and well-maintained and very reasonably priced. Great hiking on Kumano Kodo nearby and sightseeing.

Nice hotel, staff were helpful and very nice. Location is a little inconvenient, if you aren’t driving you need to take a ferry of shuttle back and forth. Overall a good stay.
Big hotel, have several onsen, cave onsen is special, breakfast and dinner need to improve, from station walk to ferry only few minutes and hotel have boat or shuttle send you to hotel.
Huge hotel a 5 minute ferry ride from town. We stayed in a spacious Japanese room with fantastic ocean views. The onsen was amazing, in a cave right next to the ocean where you could watch waves crashing while bathing. Buffet breakfast and dinner were good.
Amazing stay - especially the cave onsen and the views on top of the mountains; the retro classical video games next to the cafeteria also bring back lots of memories
Beautiful views from the top viewpoints of the hotel. Turn-down service was excellent. A very large property so it can be a long walk navigating the property. Multiple onsens, the cave onsens are fantastic and amazing view.
This hotel was amazing. A sprawling property built into the side of a mountain. So many onsen. The cave onsen were spectacular. There were many restaurants, convenience store, shops and an arcade.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The outdoor spa, especially the ones with ocean views are exceptional. The dining hall is huge. The breakfast and dinner buffets provide high quality and many varieties of food. Shuttle ferry / bus are convenient. The sunrise and sunset at the viewing platform are beautiful.
