It was great!Upon arrival, enjoy a welcome drink (alcoholic) on the sofa overlooking the sea.The view from the room is called Amalfi in Japan. I wasn't expecting anything, but it's really nice. The sunset view here is spectacular, so we recommend standing by at your favorite spot before sunset.There are lots of fun places such as sofas and chairs with a nice view, swings, and bouldering. Moreover, the free lounge overlooking the sea is so comfortable that you can relax as much as you like. There is also a massage chair.There are vending machines in the hallways inside the building. I don't smoke, but this group hotel has many smoking areas with great views, so I don't think it will be a problem. However, there was one room with a smoking area right across the street (I think it was on the 3rd floor?) so if you're interested, check it out.Dinner is served in a completely private room, and depending on the room, you can enjoy a relaxing meal while looking out at Amalfi. I was worried that it wouldn't be enough, but my fears were unfounded. You can have a delicious and wonderful time.At night, go to Chaputha pool.The next day, we enjoyed the pool and hot springs to the fullest.Although the hot spring is small, it is pleasant. There are only a few hair dryers, so it may not be suitable for large groups.It was my first time to have fun at the pool, but the staff kindly taught me how to do it, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind.It's difficult to get to by public transportation, but I liked it so much that I decided to go every year (lol)I hope the chapucha pool will always be there.I'll bother you again.

Second stay.Both dinner and breakfast are very delicious.The bathroom was small, but the men's and women's baths were switched the next day, but when I went to take a bath in the morning and went to dry my hair, I found a dead cockroach lying under the sink, which was disappointing.

Everything was better than expected.A hotel where Amalfi spreads out in front of you ♨Are you sure the entrance is on the 6th floor?It looked like a small inn, butIt's actually quite spacious, with easy access to the room, hot spring, lounge, restaurant, etc.It's fun and exciting, and the scenery is spectacular, although it may be a little tiring for elderly people who can't walk much.Because every place is a great spotIt seemed to me to be aimed at young people.The room, restaurant, and hot springs all have a beautiful view of the sea 🌊 Amalfi ⚓️✨️.The hot spring is not too large, but you can take a relaxing soak.The meal was a basic course, so I was worried about whether it would be enough, but even as a big eater, I was completely satisfied.All of the dishes were carefully prepared and tasted delicious.It was a regular Japanese-style room with a shower, so I was wondering,There was enough room.It was great just seeing Amalfi.Since we had two keys to the room, we didn't have to set the time together, so I was able to take photos everywhere and go back to my room by myself.From the moment we arrived, all the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Probably the third time staying here. This time, I stayed with 5 business people in one room. The size and cleanliness of the room are perfect, and the food is at a normal level that you can be satisfied with without having to upgrade. For breakfast, you can't stop refilling the rice for the all-you-can-eat kettle-fried whitebait. Speaking of dissatisfaction, I forgot my bath towel in the public bath, and when I asked the front desk to prepare a new bath towel, I was charged an additional fee. The food and service are above average, and the accommodation fee is reasonable, so wouldn't it be okay to include the cost of towels in the service charge? ! I thought.I was so focused on work that I forgot to take pictures. Please take a look at what it looked like on the way home.

This time I couldn't get a good room and could hear people talking next door so I couldn't settle down.The food was absolutely delicious!I would also like to visit during the cutlass season.I can't do much cleaning.I used to work part-time as a hotel cleaner, so I especially noticed fingerprints on the mirrors and glass, hair in the dressing room, and green mold in the bathroom.I don't think normal people would care, but...Please do a thorough final check.Nowadays, all I want is a sauna or mist sauna.The location is also difficult to find, and I climbed up some unnecessary stairs, so I wish it would be easier to understand.But anyway, the food was good ^_^

This summer, earthquakes and typhoons have caused disasters in Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures.I was planning to go before that, but I contracted coronavirus and had pneumonia and asthma from July 14th to September 5th, August 27th and 28th, and my son. Since I can't go there, I feel better at that time so I changed my trip and went to Wakayama Prefecture.The place we stayed at had too many problems, the price was cheap, the hospitality was poor, and we also have a hobby of traveling.Cheap and hospitable hotels, guesthouses, and inns are available even for veterans, so it is difficult to check them.In the past, I went from being a bus guide to being a nurse.My son works at a luxury hotel.The worst part is the room, the bathroom,Futons and sheets were shoved in the closet, crumpled and dirty mattresses were shoved in the closet, and food smelled disgusting when we entered the door.We were discriminated against.Even though the buildings in Sumoto on Awaji Island are old,There was no discrimination.I feel sadTide viewing seaside

I go to a hot spring inn twice a month. |At a hot spring inn, the hot springs don't have to be the best; you want to eat as delicious as possible. |I share the same opinion as Mr. …

Parking may be difficult for beginners as it goes down a steep slope ^^;The exterior looks new, but the interior has been renovated and is stylish!There were only enough towels in the room for the number of people, so there was an additional charge.If it's a hot spring inn, don't you go there many times?This is questionable since most inns have had at least two sets of bath towels and a smaller towel.There were no bath towels in the private open-air bath, and it was 3,800 yen per hour, and it was spacious and clean, but I thought it would be a good idea to have one prepared.There are no skin care products such as cleansing or face washing.The pool is small and leaves are floating (^_^;)The breakfast was delicious with lots of whitebait on it (^^)There were only a few buffet-style drinks and side dishes.

I live in Wakayama City, so I wasn't staying overnight, but the party's opening barbecue was held here at Kancho 🍗. You can enjoy the seascape of Wakayama with the famous landscape of Amalfi in Japan as your canvas. As a Wakayama citizen, this is a facility that we can be proud of as it is cool and comfortable on summer evenings and has good facilities.
