breakfast very deliciousHotel staff are also kindThe building is old, but it was carefully cleaned.However, I was bitten by ticks in several places on the futon in the Japanese-style room. It was a shame because everything else was good

I made a reservation early as the night before my solo camping trip in Wakayama, so I was able to get a great deal. Breakfast at this hotel costs 1,100 yen and requires a reservation, but it's definitely worth ordering. It was very delicious and the presentation was very beautiful. The hotel staff are also kind and honest.

heart of peaceThe charging cord I forgot at the hotel arrived the next day.Even though a conference was being held and it was during a three-day holiday, I was able to stay at 1/3 of the original price. Moreover, a solid breakfast was provided.Even though I checked in after bathing time, I was encouraged to take a leisurely bath.The hospitality was always filled with kindness and love.It's near Wakayama Station.

Perhaps it's a rarity these days, but the room didn't have a washroom or bathroom, so it was shared outside the room. There are quite a few izakayas around the station, which was convenient.

This is the type of hotel I search out. Family owned, unique, clean, good price and an outstanding breakfast. My wife and I stayed here 5 nights. It is waking distance to Wakayama Station. The owner is very friendly and very accommodating and also speaks some English. We had a private bath in our room and there is also a traditional Japanese bath area. The breakfast is a traditional Japanese breakfast for a small add on fee. It was the best traditional Japanese breakfast that I have every had in a Japanese hotel. The morning coffee was excellent also. There are many restaurants withing walking distance. There is also free parking. I will stay here again whenever I am in the Wakayama area.

I stayed here a few years ago.The owner was very kind and the breakfast was delicious and kind.I have fond memories of the owner talking to me about where he had been on his travels and how kind he was to me.It has such good points and is so comfortable that it would be a shame if I had to go back late at night.I would like to stay here again if I go to Wakayama.

Thank you to the very kind staff!It's about a 5 minute walk from the station, there's a convenience store nearby, and you can rent bicycles.The women's bath is a regular household bathroom and is still new and very clean. I want to support a hotel where I can feel the care taken everywhere.The walls are a bit thin and there is a lot of noise coming from the hallway, so it might not be recommended for people who are sensitive.
