"It is very convenient to stay overnight on foot. Although it is a youth hostel, it is very quiet. The facilities of the homestay are very complete, and the public area of the rest area is very comfortable. It would be better if lunch boxes were provided. If the weather is bad, I definitely don’t want to go out for meals."
"There are fewer restaurants near the hotel. You can go to the hot springs when you stay in the hotel. Although the facilities are very old, it is really comfortable to soak in the soup after hiking! ! The front desk does not speak English but the service attitude is very good, it is still very recommended"
Akariya is a small accommodation facility in Tanabe City
Akariya is a little far from Tanabe Station and it is normal to take a bath but it is about a 2minute drive from the Kisei Expressway Kamitita IC and it has good access to Shirahama so at Shirahama Onsen I think you can enjoy a day trip bath Easy access to Shirahama Adventure World Shirahama Beach and Kumano Kodo Free parking is available
We also have maps of restaurants in Tanabe City and Shirahama Town so please feel free to contact us br
Please note that this facility is only available to Japanese people

"We took the Ryujin Bus and arrived at Kamimota. It was not yet check-in time, but the hotel lady was already waiting at the door. Serve warm tea, introduce the hot spring time, ask about meal time, and carefully prepare for dinner in the room. After the meal, we made the bed and asked thoughtfully about the time for the next day's morning service and the time for the bus to leave. The whole process was considerate. It was very cold outside when we left, and the hotel lady asked us to wait in the hotel until the bus came to the door. When we left, he said goodbye to us warmly and waved until we left. The hot springs here are very good, the food is delicious, and the experience is great."
"Although the location is relatively remote, the boss service is good, the spring quality is super good, it is a hot spring hotel that can be visited again."
"The second time I lived, the last time was 8 years ago, the facilities were still clean and not significantly old. There is still the hospitality of traditional Japanese-style hotels. The hot springs are still good, and it is a relatively new hotel near the Dragon God."

Amazing
GGuest UserA great place if you’re open to cooking some food yourself. Yes, the dinner options are basically non-existent, but that really doesn’t matter if you’re open minded and willing to do something yourself. My partner and I walked for 8 hours and were exhausted when we arrived, but we still decided to get some food from the shop across the road (very nearby!!) and cook. It ended up being a lovely way to end the day which also surprised us. We sat atop our container-home and looked to the mountains as we ate our food.
The room has everything you need other than knives and maybe more options for plates, but it’s doable. Everything is compact but that’s part of the charm, and it’s really quite incredible how they organise the entire room.
The only issues we encountered were the lack of knives (only one chef’s knife, no normal knives for spreading butter etc), and the plates, but no other issues.
The lack of staff to talk to face to face can be a bit of a shock to people, but it’s all about your own attitude to trying it out, as this isn’t a hotel where you can get anything you want just by asking. You can ask, but it’s all done via a couple of iPads. Just be prepared and keep an open mind. If you do that, this might be one of the most comfortable and personal stays you’ll have.
GGuest UserConvenient location near the railway station, but the trains do not disturb you - you can't hear them in the hotel. New, comfortable, spacious rooms. Excellent breakfast, there is a self-service laundry (washing machine and dryer). There are many cafes and shops nearby, the sea is a 10-minute walk away. On Sunday mornings there is a farmers' market by the sea
XXiaomu2020Very satisfied, especially the handsome guy Weng Sang. His Chinese service was warm and thoughtful. He solved all the problems I had with the Kumano Kodo itinerary. He helped me buy the stamping book and check in my luggage. He also explained the bus timetables in all directions, which took up a lot of his time. Finally, he helped us deliver our luggage to the room. I bought a one-night stay and two-meals package. The food was delicious. In short, I had a good time and was satisfied with the food. Thank you
PPablo CGood Onsen style hotel with sea view near to Kii-Tanabe station (very convenient if you will start a walking rout of Kumano Kodo starting from Kii-Tanabe).
The hotel is a little bit old fashion but every corner of the room and public spaces were in very good conditions.
Just be careful because there is some rooms with private toilet but with shared shower/bath, considering that is a Onsen style hotel (we booked a twin room with private toilet but we never image that the bath/shower was shared in the Onsen facilities).
AAChuaRight in front of the bus stop Kamaya-Mae I think..
Kind hosts who speaks a reasonable amount of English. Dinner smelled delicious but I didn’t go for it because I wanted to try the other restaurant in the area.
If I return to kawayu, I will come back here.
GGuest UserHanayo Garden Hotel Shirahama, Japan
The hotel is located in Baibinyu, Wakayama County, in a great location surrounded by mountains and sea. It is about8-10 minutes walk from Bailiangbin Beach and the surrounding environment is quiet.
The main seaside hot spring experience, with open-air wind and indoor hot spring baths, some baths face the Pacific Ocean, you can enjoy the sunset or waves while soaking in the soup. The spring is a weak alkaline hot spring, which is helpful for alleviating muscle aches and fatigue. The facilities are well maintained, basic toiletries are provided, the night bath atmosphere is excellent, the starry sky and the sound of the waves are supported, and the healing feeling is full.
The rooms are divided into Japanese, Western and mixed rooms, spacious in size (25-40㎡), and the mattress is moderately hard and soft, suitable for families or multiple people. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry, equipped with a bathtub and a smart toilet. It is recommended to choose a high-floor sea view room with a wide view and unobstructed.
LlHanayo Garden Hotel is the ”hidden choice” in Baibin Hot Spring Township, with sea view hot springs, fresh seafood cuisine and family-friendly facilities as the core competitiveness. If you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the slow-paced holiday of ”soaking to see the sea and big dumpling seafood”, it is worth including the list here.
WWEIWENTypical Japanese hot spring hotel. The bathing area is outside the hotel, and many Japanese people drive over. The open-air bath in the bath is very large, with 5 pools for men's baths and 4 for women's baths. The hotel has 4 family baths, which are free for hotel residents. Hotel guests have two keys, one is the door to the house, and the other is to open the family door. The hotel has a free shuttle bus from Shirahama Station. There is also a free shuttle bus to Kumano Hongu Taisha. The one-park-two-food set meal is quite satisfactory. Because the hotel is located in the mountains, there is nothing around it, so it can only bubble soup at night.
Kkonoy mandalAmazing service from the moment we arrived to the date of our departure. Staff is very attentive. Food is amazing and presented well. Location is serene and a great change from the big cities. Rooms are perfect and just the type of Japanese village rooms and decor we were hoping for.
AAlbrecht Pagaduanno expectations when i booked it… i just need a room for a quick stop to the city! Itt was good enough… they said it was old, but it was ok for me and had a good stay during the night! The best part is i was close to the transportation terminal. i would stay again in here if i come back
GGuest UserYou can see the Sanshuikan when you get off the Kawayu Onsen Station. You need to walk a little further to Matsuya. The guy at the front desk was very friendly and checked me in quickly. The room is not big, you need to make the bed yourself. I didn't look carefully at the bedding, but it was comfortable to sleep. The bathroom has a toilet and a small basin, but no shower. There is a river outside the window. Half board 700+, green house open-air hot spring, high cost performance
