When I showed up at check in at 15:30, there was no staff and I had to call but they promptly showed up. The room was depressing since the veranda was closed off by sliding doors, blocking natural light. The view outside is only good if you open up the windows. The onsen bath is hard to relax in. The water source is loud and splashes water up to 1.5 meters away and creates constant waves. There is free unlimited coffee and soft drinks available which is extremely nice. I had tried to order dinner ahead of time through a travel agent but was unable to do so. The closest restaurants are a 20 minute walk away. The breakfast was a traditional Japanese breakfast with locally sourced ingredients. Most of the food items had the name in English as well.The theming in the common areas pays tribute to Sanada Yukimura. The staff were extremely nice.

There are about 30 types of soy sauce used for breakfast eggs. Wakayama is also famous for tuna, so tsukudani. There are also 30 types of pickles and tsukudani. Sanzoku soup with lots of vegetables and white rice is a delicious breakfast. It's been a long time since I've had 3 cups. Side dishes grilled on a shichirin are also good.``Futon'' Japanese-style room available. This is the type that you install yourself.Location: Short walk from the station. If you are driving, it is a quiet place located a little up a side street from the main road. It would be a good idea to buy what you need at the convenience store before climbing.It takes about 40-60 minutes to go to and from Mt. Koya even if you hurry. Please note that there are few restaurants in the area where you can eat at night.``Large bath'' Japanese-style rooms do not have a bath in the room, but use the large bath. There was a group of customers, but we didn't overlap, so we took a bath in the morning and at night. I like it a little hotter.My complaint is that a group of guests were using the room for dinner, but the ventilation was poor. The smell of grilling is always stuck in the building, which needs to be fixed immediately. There were various ideas such as breakfast, and I enjoyed it, but it was a waste.thank you very much.

It was a relaxing hotel close to Mt. Koya, surrounded by nature.I went to stay at Kiimiso, which is said to have a connection with Yukimura Sanada.Conveniently located near the station.Both dinner and breakfast, which mainly featured Wakayama specialties, had a wide variety and were quite delicious.The mandarin oranges, a specialty of Wakayama, were delicious.It's easy to eat and the fatty texture is the best.I want to eat it again!The staff were also kind and kind.The hot springs were very pleasant and relieved my fatigue.The hot springs have large windows, so you can enjoy a relaxing soak while looking out at the scenery outside.The terrace was also full of nature and felt great.At night, we could see the starry sky and it was beautiful.When I took the picture with my smartphone, it came out beautifully.I would like to go again to relieve my daily fatigue.

Anyway, the quality of breakfast is amazing.Of course there are many items, but each item is of high quality.I think it's rare to be able to find so many products from Wakayama Prefecture.If you come to Wakayama and are wondering where to stay, we recommend staying at Kiimiso.

If the purpose of your trip is to eat, we cannot recommend this place. Since it was a 5,500 yen dinner, we were provided with barbecue food, but it was mostly vegetables and only a little chicken. If you go to eat Yakiniku normally, you will get more meat, especially beef. There is one cassette stove for each person, but it was an iron plate that was not well maintained. Breakfast was said to be 2,000 yen, and there was a lot of homemade pork soup, white rice from last night, and rice to go with it, but I was worried about the amount of salt I would get if I ordered it somewhere else. Those who are killed will have nothing to eat. It's easy to see why they kept labor costs low by not hiring a cook.I can't recommend it to anyone who looks forward to taking a bath. There was only one vintage bathtub, which was not very spacious. There is no sense of openness at all. You can use a slightly more expensive shower head, but if you stop staying here, you can purchase the actual shower head and take care of your hair and skin at home.The yukata is faded and whitish and doesn't look clean. Overall, I don't think the accommodation is worth the price, and I think you'll be disappointed, so it's better to look for another accommodation.

I used it when I was a child when it was still a national dormitory, and as an adult I used it as a day trip hot spring on my way back from climbing Mt. Iwayu.Although it is only an indoor bath, the quality of the hot spring water was excellent.If you like hot water that is as thick as lotion, this is for you.Next time, I would like to use it after passing from Mt. Kongo to Kimi Pass.

The facility is old, but the hot spring water in the bath is of good quality and the food is delicious.Local vegetables, local eggs, and ingredients from local shops are used to achieve local production and local consumption.The all-you-can-drink alcohol plan was self-serve, but we enjoyed a wide variety of drinks including branded alcohol.
