Hotels with Parking in Higashimuro District

"Out of all the hotels we stayed at during our Kii Peninsula trip, the Kameyama Hotel in Kii-Katsuura was the most expensive. There aren't many hotel options in Kii-Katsuura, and this one was still considered relatively good value for money. We booked a twin room with an ocean view (not a tatami room). The room itself was very spacious and had a nice view. However, it's true that the hotel is a bit dated, and some of the room furniture was quite old. Despite that, the cleanliness was good; the room interior was spotless, although the balcony seemed not to have been cleaned thoroughly. I didn't quite understand the openwork design of the bedding; it felt a bit unhygienic with the duvet insert seemingly exposed. Check-in was quick, and the staff spoke fluent English, which made the process very smooth. The hotel breakfast was also excellent. It was a set meal, reservation-based, and all seats faced the ocean. From the hotel, it's about a 10-minute walk to the Torii gate, a 5-minute walk to a FamilyMart convenience store, and a 10-minute walk to the station, which is quite convenient. There's also a free water bar on the first floor, offering coffee and other beverages, which was a nice touch."

"I've tried both of the onsen hotels in Nachi that require a ferry to access, Urashima and Nakanoshima, and I highly recommend Nakanoshima. Everything from the hotel environment to the dinner and breakfast was excellent, especially the kaiseki dinner, which left a very deep impression on my trip to Kyoto. The picture shows the menu translated by my phone, and I must specifically mention the wagyu beef – it was absolutely delicious!!! The waitstaff even gave us an extra plate when they saw how much we enjoyed it, which was a great touch! Also, if you're going to use the onsen, you absolutely must try the outdoor one. Relaxing comfortably while looking out at the sea – now that's a vacation!"

"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."

"It took over 4 hours to get to Hotel Urashima from Kyoto, which isn't actually that far, but even their express trains are a far cry from our high-speed rail. I took an 'Ocean Arrow' train which felt quite old. There was a small observation car between 3-4 carriages, which was fine for enjoying the scenery. After arriving at the JR station, it's a short walk to the pier to catch a boat to the hotel. The self check-in machines at the hotel were incredibly convenient. It printed out vouchers for both dinner that night and breakfast the next morning, which was very handy. Staff were on hand to guide, and everything was clear. I booked a Japanese-Western style quad room, which was quite spacious and had nice views. The room provided yukata that you could wear to the hot springs and for meals. The onsen on the 33rd floor is only open to guests staying in the 'Sanjo-kan' (Mountain building), and it was deserted when we went. The 'Bokaro-do' (Forgetting-to-return-home Cave) in the main building is the most distinctive, and while it was crowded, the scenery was well worth it. We also hiked a section of the Kumano Kodo on our second day, which I highly recommend. The hotel also offers fishing rod rentals, which I believe are available until 5:30 PM. The Sanjo-kan connects to Mount Noroshi, where you can watch the sunset. The Pacific Ocean water is crystal clear, and the scenery is absolutely stunning! If I had to mention a downside, the dining was not impressive. The daily set meals were very limited in variety, and the buffet was just average, not nearly as amazing as the hot spring hotels near Lake Kawaguchiko at the foot of Mount Fuji, where the food was spectacular. If you don't mind the hassle, you can take a boat to town for dinner."

"The hotel's environment is fantastic, and the entrance garden landscape is absolutely beautiful. The seaside corridor is also stunning, and there's a dedicated hot spring area for foot soaks. The public outdoor hot spring views are also great. The only downside of my trip was the room I booked, which was supposed to have an indoor hot tub, but it turned out to be just a regular bathtub. Although the staff explained that the water was indeed from a hot spring, it still felt disappointing, so I didn't use it. I contacted Ctrip customer service about it, and their handling of the issue was very satisfactory. However, the public bath was a delightful surprise; both the environment and the soaking experience were incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend the dinner buffet. Even though it's a buffet, the ingredients are fresh, and the variety is extensive. You can even grill your own food. The tempura was exceptionally delicious, and they had Haagen-Dazs ice cream! Breakfast, however, wasn't as lavish and was quite simple. Overall, I'd say I'm satisfied."

"A cute and cozy hotel with two showers and one shared toilet. You need to book in advance for the hot spring, and each session is 25 minutes. A downside was that I couldn't get in touch with the hotel. I tried through Trip.com but it didn't work, and the hotel doesn't have an email address. There's a phone number, but I didn't use it as I wouldn't have been able to understand or communicate. However, in the end, the hotel staff on-site were very polite and accommodating."

"I didn't have high expectations, but the lobby was beautiful and the hot springs were very comfortable. The room was a little old, but it had an ocean view and a nice view, so there were no particular inconveniences. The indoor bath was too cold so I didn't use it. The meal was a buffet, and I guess that's about what you'd expect for the price and the content. It's just right if you want to refresh yourself casually."

"We were extremely pleased with every aspect of our stay! The service was excellent, and everyone was incredibly friendly and kind. We booked a sea-view room, which was spacious, and we loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves. A highlight for us was the pre-booked breakfast and dinner at the hotel; they were fresh, delicious, and exquisitely prepared, with no repetition over our two-day stay. The staff at the tourist information center next to the station also provided exceptional service. They meticulously marked train schedules and maps with colored pens and even helped us look up the tidal times."

"This was the most satisfying hot spring hotel of this trip, bar none. I had previously hesitated about choosing Urashima, but considering I had luggage and was going to the Kumano Kodo the next day, I chose Bansei-ro. The location is incredibly convenient! It's right across from the pier, no more walking. We took a boat tour to the Whale Museum, and then just crossed the street back to the hotel! The breakfast was authentic, and the kids loved it! 🥳 Urashima's Wangguidong experience was also quite good. The only downside is that the main onsen is quite small. Fortunately, in the summer, I don't want to soak for too long; it's time to get warm!"

"It's a yellow building in the shopping district, about a 5-minute walk from JR Kii-Katsuura Station, and it's easy to find. It appears to be run by a small staff, as there is a phone at the front desk. When I contacted them, a staff member responded immediately. They carefully checked my accommodation details, making sure I had brochures for sightseeing in the area and offering recommendations. The building itself is old, but well-maintained and I didn't feel particularly inconvenienced. Loungewear, toothbrushes, a kettle with green tea, and an air purifier are also provided. Makeup remover, face wash, lotion, and emulsion are not provided, but I brought these with me so this wasn't a problem. Check-out was smooth; I simply put my key in the designated box. There are only a few accommodations near the station, so I was glad to be able to stay in a well-located place at a low cost."
