We had a nice view of the bay from our room. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and well supplied. We did not choose to have meals at the hotel, which we might do differently next time because there were not many near-by dining options. The staff were very kind. For example, when we went out in the rain to find a restaurant for dinner, a staff member came out after we exited the building to hand us umbrellas. They were paying attention to our needs!

It’s a good experience with traditional Japanese style room. Although it’s very timid for us to use the public bath the first time, but once you get used to it. It’s quite a nice experience with the onsen. There is no private shower room by the way. In case anyone wonder.

Hotel was an 8 minute walk from the train station, easy as. Hotel was clean and staff friendly and welcoming. Room was gorgeous, traditional Japanese room with the most amazing view over the water, sunrise and sunset was beautiful. Room was very comfortable as was the futon for sleeping. Bathroom in the room (no shower) and the room had everything you needed.
Bathing: hotel has a male and female (separate) sento/onsen (communal bathing). Common at the more traditional hotels. You have your modesty towel 😅 to use if you wish. Mattered were two male baths- indoor and outdoor. Indoor was beautifully hot and large in size and being indoor, the steam is a great feeling. Outdoor one is smaller (4 people), and is nice and warm and allows a good balance of being able to moderate your body temperature. Both look at our the water. Don’t be shy to go and use these facilities, great place to talk with people whilst relaxing or keep to yourself.

Town is an old port town and is very quiet, not many cars around or people. By 6pm you might see a handful of people walking around. Dining options are limited outside the hotel but they are there, if you walk around the street you will find enough dining options. It’s a beautiful town and easy trip to Nachi taisha. Info office at the station if you need, they speak English and happy to help you.
Great time and highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is reasonably priced and the room has a very good view. The facility is showing some age, but clean and well ordered nonetheless. Driving would be more convenient than taking the public transport to reach the hotel.

Property was clean and room was comfortable, other than there was no shower/bath in the room, which maybe we should have known, but were surprised by. There is a public bath/onsen on site with a lovely view over the ocean, but is not for everyone. Also no real food options nearby and the onsite restaurant seems to have limited availability.

Gem in Katsuura

This was probably the most fabulous find in our entire 13 day trip to Japan. It is about a 15 minute walk from the JR Station, but it was very well taken care of, the employees were extremely friendly and helpful. The Onsen on premise was excellent and the meals served at the hotel were absolutely the BEST we had on the trip. I would highly suggest this hotel to anyone visiting Katsuura and to see the Nachi Taisha.

I was made to pay for two rooms when I tried to book only one. The first reservation did not go through (or so I thought) and I repeated the booking process. Within 24 hours, I realized I had two rooms in my name. I called Expedia immediately who could not (for some reason) cancel it, although the website said \"free cancellation\". They asked me to message the hotel directly. I messaged the hotel and I got a curt reply that my request was denied! So I paid an extra $140 for a room that I never used! The hotel itself was clean and comfortable, but certainly not worthy of the $280 that I ended up paying! Felt mostly let down by Expedia. Next time, I'll hesitate to book a room outside of USA through Expedia.

Good views and stunning onsen.

The hotel was surprisingly nice. We had a room with a view which was stunning. There is no shower in the room which was concerning at first, but it was well worth the public onsen they have available in the hotel. The public onsen’s Are separated by gender and offer a stunning location to shower and bathe. Would recommend this hotel.

Tuna, Onsen and Nachi Falls

A little dated by European standards - the in-room bathroom needed a facelift, but the traditional rooms, public Onsen and easterly views over the bay easily made up for it.
Kii-K has obviously been a thriving fishing port in its time but the main attraction now is the Tuna landing every other day - well worth getting up early for!
There are plenty of small bars where the locals eat (early) - amazing fresh tuna and kumano beef.
A 1000y return bus ticket will take you 30 minutes to Daimonzaka for a good walk up to the Nachi Falls and Temples - the Infirmation Centre at the station has all the details, although that’s probably the last English you’ll hear spoken!

Calm with great food

There is not much around the hotel, but what a great place to relax at. The baths were not so busy and there is one that overlooks the ocean. The food was excellent both for dinner and breakfast. I really enjoyed my stay. You can borrow bikes from the front to get around town if you don't drive. A simple but comfortable stay.

Lovely views, Traditional Japanese rooms

We liked this place. The view of a beautiful bay and beach from our room was wonderful. The onsen also overlooked the sea. The hotel is walking distance to the station and harbor attractions and restaurants. The town is small and many restaurants close at night so consider the dinner option.

The breakfast was beautifully served, very tasty and a full, traditional, healthy Japanese breakfast, which is definitely worth including in your booking.

Das Hotel ist gut für den Besuch der Tempel in den Bergen (Bus und Bahn ca. 1 km entfernt).

Die Umgebung sowie das Hotel haben schon bessere Zeiten gesehen. Das Bett auf dem Boden ist nicht für Europäer gedacht - d. h. zu kurz und nicht ergonomisch.

Das Frühstück ist lokal und demzufolge mindestens ein Photo und eine Gebrauchsanweisung wert. Bei zwei Tagen Aufenthalt es gab 2 verschiedene Variationen.

Im Prinzip läuft alles recht reibungslos und wie üblich außerordentlich freundlich - Japan pur.
