Hotels With Breakfast in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan

The room was spacious, and even the water in the private bathroom was from a hot spring. The dinner at the restaurant was excellent; I highly recommend booking the half-board option directly. When checking in, the front desk staff will schedule your dinner and breakfast times, so you never have to wait in line, no matter how many people are there. The hotel balcony offers an unbeatable view of the Pacific Ocean. Parking is free, and there are also some indoor recreational activities, which are great for families with children to pass the time.

The hotel is conveniently located just 100 meters from the train station, and the Kansai Airport limousine bus stops right downstairs. There's a large shopping mall directly below the hotel, with plenty of dining options nearby. There was a minor issue with my reserved room, but Trip.com handled it excellently. Overall, it's a very good hotel.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic. ● Upon check-in, there's a Chinese-speaking guide (a Chinese-speaking staff member introduces everything about the hotel). ● The hotel offers two types of yukata, and for one of them, you can choose your preferred pattern. ● The hotel provides complimentary limited-time plum juice, snacks, and ramen. ● The hotel offers two types of private onsen services for free. There isn't much difference between them, just the size and shape of the tubs. Each session is 40 minutes, and you can book multiple times on a first-come, first-served basis. ● Besides the private onsens, the hotel also has mixed-gender onsens (with provided bathing attire), a men's onsen, and a women's onsen. ● The hotel offers dining, but it's a bit pricey. You can choose nearby restaurants instead (the picture is of the breakfast I ordered). ● The hotel is close to Senjojiki, Sandanbeki, and Saki-no-yu. If I visit Shirahama again and the price is right, I would definitely stay here again.

The location is not the most central, but it is right next to Wakayama Castle, which is a big plus. In the evening, it’s very pleasant to take a walk around the castle area — quiet, scenic, and relaxing. There are bus stops nearby, making it fairly convenient to get around, though buses do not run very frequently. It’s best to check the schedule on Google Maps in advance. On the ground floor, there is a 24-hour FamilyMart, which is very convenient. There is also a McDonald’s (closes at 8pm) and a few nearby restaurants, so food is not really a concern. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Check-out was quick and hassle-free. Overall, for the price I paid, this hotel exceeded my expectations. I would recommend it to travellers who don’t mind a quieter area and enjoy being close to Wakayama Castle.

The hotel environment is beautiful, and the view outside the window is stunning. The dinner and breakfast included (one-night, two-meals) were also excellent. From our room, we could see the fishing port, and with a good zoom, we could even spot tuna, as shown in picture 3.

The hotel is situated at a secluded corner of Wakayama prefecture. It is much preferable to drive here rather than relying on the infrequent hotel shuttle. Public transport is otherwise non existent. There are no restaurants around the hotel. However the hotel provides delicious meals with abundant fresh seafood. The in room dining experience is superb. The hotel staff service is impeccable. The room has a spectacular sea view allowing you to see the sunset on clear days. The onsen also faces the sea which provides a relaxing experience. A downside is that the hotel does not seem to sanitize the slippers for indoor use. All hotel guests had to change to their slippers to access their indoor facilities.

This hotel was our chosen endpoint after hiking the Kumano Kodo Nakahechi trail. We stayed at the Sankan building, and honestly, five onsen pools weren't nearly enough time to try them all! My favorite was definitely the Bokaido. It was rainy the day we checked in, so we missed the sunset, but the next day cleared up perfectly for a beautiful sunrise. We also took a stroll through Noroshiyama Park, which was really pleasant. However, both the buffet breakfast and dinner at Sankan were pretty mediocre, with not much variety. Getting on and off the island was a bit inconvenient due to the limited schedule of the 'Turtle Boat'. We were essentially tied to the hotel's half-board plan. After checking out at 10 AM, there were so many people queuing that we missed the last Turtle Boat. We ended up taking a shuttle bus for about 10 minutes to the parking lot, but then had to walk for about 20 minutes, taking a long detour, to finally reach the Ura Island pier. If you're traveling with kids, make sure to carefully check the shuttle boat schedule and plan your departure from the island accordingly!

The shuttle bus from Ikidanabe JR Station was at around 2pm. If you missed it, you can only take a taxi there, which costs about 1700JP. The beach behind the hotel is very beautiful, and you can see the sunset. I booked a one-night stay with two meals. The dinner was pretty good, and the quality was higher than that of several hotels behind the Kumano Kodo! There was also dandan noodles for supper in the evening. Personally, I feel that except for the inconvenient transportation, I am satisfied with the hotel in other aspects! The shuttle bus was delivered to Ikidanabe Station at 10am in the morning. We felt it was a bit late, so we asked the front desk to call a taxi to the station. Other areas are good!

I came here because of Detective Conan, and the hotel's location is just incredible – facing the sea, absolutely stunning! However, since the hotel is in a small town, taking the bus during peak season can be really inconvenient. You can contact the hotel to arrange a taxi, but most local drivers don't speak English. There are many great places to eat in town, but they tend to close early. The hotel's onsen is very comfortable; soaking in the hot spring while listening to the sea is a wonderful experience. The hotel is also very close to Engetsu Island, where you can watch the sunset 🌄 – it's truly amazing and perfect for photos! The only drawback is that the facilities are a bit old, probably due to its long history!

I cannot recommend Candeo Hotels Nankai Wakayama enough! Its super convenient, just a few steps to the JR/Nankai lines and if the trains take too long to come, a few more steps and you're at the bus interchange! The service staff is awesome, room is huge and breakfast is yummy! The coin laundry is super affordable but there's only 2 washers & 2 dryers so to avoid ”peak hour”, better start early or go late. Its on the same floor as the baths and oh my God, the outdoor bath at night in winter is awesome!
