Great Experience. Cave Onsens!
Reviewed By SandBTokyoThis hotel is an amazing experience and we loved it. Hotel Urashima is built on a peninsula in the harbour. You can take a boat to the front door or park abotu 5 minutes away and take the bus. The bus comes regularly and drives though a tunnel to the lobby entrance. There are five main buildings for the hotel, all connected by tunnels and walkways. The highest building is Sanjokan which can be reached by elevator or escalator, very long escalator. It has great rooms and is the higher end building. We stayed one night in Sanjokan and enjoyed an amazing view from the room and a beautiful dinner and breakfast. We stayed another night in Nagisa, which is the harbour front building. Very nice room, but be sure to request non-smoking as we discovered one floor smells of smoke so strongly it will knock you down. Dinner and breakfast was also nice. Nagisa had a nice game area for the children. The other two buildings seem OK. Honkan is probably the oldest. Best part of this hotel are the cave onsens. Super great experience. Onsens built into the cave overlooking the ocean. Staff were all super great. Highly recommend staying in Hotel Urashima. It is worth visiting the area to enjoy the hotel and cave onsens. There is a convenience store in the hotel that has pretty much anything you need.

A good, relaxing base to explore the surrounding area
Reviewed By KI-NRTWe wanted high-end accommodations near Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine and Nachi Falls, and through our research, we figured that Kumano Bettei Nakanoshima is really the only choice in the area. We stayed in a Luxury Deluxe Ocean View Room, which is the second from the top room category (there's only one room in the top category, by the way, and it wasn't available when we tried to book it), and located on the Nagi No Sho wing. It was modern, reasonably stylish and had a good view of the ocean and the peninsula across the way. The view is partially marred by two large green oil reserve containers located on the peninsula directly across the strait, which is unfortunate but not anything that the property can do about. We prefer suites that offer separated bedrooms and living rooms, which this didn't have, and the lack of a large closet forced us to place our rollerboard luggage on the floor in the living room. Aside from that, the main drawback is the fact that the bath is not Onsen (natural hot springs.) In fact, there is only one room (out of 44) that has in-room Onsen, and that's the top room named "Kihinshitsu" in the Chomontei Bldg. We have avoided communal baths during the peak of the pandemic (Japan was in its 7th wave at the time we stayed there), but thankfully the property does have a private open-air Onsen bath that guests can rent by the hour - we used it in the afternoon as well as the following morning just prior to check-out. It's a really nice open-air Onsen, and has good views from the bath. The only other drawback is the lack of an in-room dining option - all meals are served in the main restaurant. The ryokan has a handful of "koshitsu" private dining rooms, which we reserved for both of our meals, but unfortunately, it's not fully enclosed.... the noise from the main dining area pierced through the ceiling-less "private room" in a big way, especially during dinner, when some drunk guests were yelling at a very high decibel. Food wise, it was really good. Given its location, Kumano Bettei Nakanoshima has its pick of the litter, including "Nama Maguro," which is local tuna that never gets frozen prior to being served. It's often made in a cutlet style in the area, and that's what we got for dinner. They also served Grilled Abalone (on the shell) with butter, another delicacy, as well as a variety of other seafood caught fresh from the nearby Katsuura port. While not the most creative of meals, it didn't need to be, and we thoroughly enjoyed the food on offer at the property. Service is a strong point. Everyone was courteous and warm, and genuinely seemed to care about our experience at the property. The personal touch is not easy to pull off at a property with a (relatively) high room count - we were impressed. That said, I don't think they were even at half occupancy, so that may have had something to do with the high service level. Regardless, everyone from the manager to the front desk staff to the wait staff were personable, and were really eager to explain details about the area, its history and the ingredients in each dinner course. They also allowed us to check out late, which is something that cannot be taken for granted in Japanese ryokans. Being a convenient 5 minute boat ride away from the mainland but feeling a world away makes Kumano Bettei Nakanoshima a good choice for travelers seeking high(-er) end comfort, good food and a solid Onsen (though not in room) experience near Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine. P.S. - for really nice views, take a short, easy hike to the hilltop of Nakanoshima Island. You take an elevator to the top floor, take one flight of stairs to the roof, then follow the signs to a pretty trail that takes you through a dense forest until you're treated to a panoramic view of the surrounding land and sea. There's even a nicely maintained foot bath along the trail, too!

loved this fishing town!
Reviewed By jarmwr40our last night of our kumano kudo hike. loved the wharf area. fascinating to watch all the boats and ships and people fishing. all wonderful. the hotel is tired and needs an update. we did not want to spend our one night in this lovely town at a huge resort, as its an onsen town. so this was what we had. a large room. wonderful to have a seating area off the room with ceiling to floor windows. we sat there and had an ice cream and a beer bought a few doors down from a store. wonderful views. thrilled to have a bathtub. i found the meal not the best, all quite glutinous. wifi only in the lobby. not as clean as other places. we enjoyed our stroll about. easy to walk from the bus and train station, side by side. the last of our ryokan experiences!

Currently closed due to renewal construction
Dated but good value
Reviewed By Steven LWalking into this resort is like stepping into a B grade Japanese movie from the 80's, just like the town of Kiikatsuura itself. Both are worn and dated. But the rooms are very large for Japan, there are outside and inside onsen, and a buffet dinner and breakfast are included in the price - including all you can eat sushi. It's a good place to rest and recoup after the Kamano Kodo

Wonderful service
Reviewed By DavidandPhilipaThis is a pretty decent size hotel which was very different to what I had stayed in previously on the trip. That said the traditional Japanese room was lovely and spacious, had a lovely view over the bay and good facilities. On top of that the onsen was lovely, the food was good and plentiful and the chefs in the evening were really friendly lovely characters. What made my experience here special was the service I received at a difficult time. In the late afternoon I was stupid to lose some credit cards. I asked the reception staff if they could look out for them for me and within minutes of returning to my room in a very worried state the was a ring on the door bell and the hotel manager was standing at the door. He took me personally to the local police station, told the police about the problem and waited there with me for a good hour or so. Amazingly, thanks to staff at the Katsura Post Office and the Katsura police my credit cards were returned safely to me within a few short hours of my realising that they were missing. This was a very stressful time for me and I will always be very appreciative of the helpful, personal and professional service that was provided to me by the hotel manager and the other hotel staff. For all these reasons I would very much recommend this hotel.

Mites/bed bugs
Reviewed By bullytravelHad booked via email few weeks prior to our stay. Arrived to find booking wasn't there. They had rooms available however the reception staff were rather unhelpful in suggesting suitable packages. The meal was disappointing in quality despite it being the upgraded option. The room was spacious and the views were lovely, however, there were mites/ bed bugs that we discovered at around 11:30pm. There were many tiny black/brown ones, red ones, and larger black ones. A male staff member did come to the room when we called to inform them. He prepared a different room for us, however did not even offer to assist moving our luggage (it was myself and a friend - two females). Upon arrival at new room, we found it was not clean. There was hair on the floor. No kettle either. He suggested we have a bath to ensure we don't take mites to new room. Despite it being his suggestion, the lights in the hallways to the onsen bathrooms were not turned on. It was a creepy walk. Check out was even more surprising to find the staff, including the manager, did not seem phased by what had happened and charged us full price. None of the staff we encountered were particularly interested in customer service nor trained particularly well. Very tired and disappointing stay for a hotel in such a lovely location. I hope they improve cleanliness and staff training to focus more on customer service.

Inflexible
Reviewed By AhasverSaoPauloThis was one of the weirdest hotel experiences I ever had. Due to some traffic delays we arrived at the hotel an hour later than ecpected at exactly 5 mintes past seven PM. The hotel restaurant was open with several tables vacant. However, when we asked to be seated we were asked in turn if we had a reservation? When we said no they declined to seat us as we had missed the reservation deadline (which was seven PM). Us pointing to the empty seats was to no avail. The next morning was even weirder. For Breakfast they only offer a buffet and again we were asked if we had a reservation? When we asked why that was necessary given that it was buffet style with many empty seats we were told " no Breakfast without reservation"! So we left this hotel hungry.... The room? Was spacious but with a strange Layout. As is customary in Japan you take off your shoes at the entrance (genkan) but the wardrobe is at the other end of the room right next to the window. There was little to store your clothes so despite the large size of the room you basically have to keep everything in your suitcase. A second night stand (there was only one) would have been nice. Worst was the tiny size of the toilet exerbaceted by the positioning of the lamp right above the toilet seat (nothing to worry though if you are shorter than 180cm/6"). Opposite the hotel is a stadium where dolphin and (small) whale are held in captivity- shows are being performed.

hospitalityとgood view
Reviewed By kuritsFairfield Innには何箇所か泊まりましたが、ここも施設的には他のFairfield Inn同様のqualityがあります。それに加えて大手チェーンホテルにはあまり無い手作りのおもてなし感があります。手書きの串本の飲食店ガイドなどもなんか暖かい。夕飯にタクシーで出かけたのですが、そのやりとりの中でもマニュアル的でない心遣いを感じました。 お部屋は橋杭岩に面した方と、逆向きのお部屋があるのですが、橋杭岩向きのお部屋がおすすめです。向かいにある道の駅とはからとは違った角度で断然良く見えます。

Nice view, tiny bathroom, overpriced
Reviewed By Dovile SThe room was clean, nice and helpful staff, the hotel is by the ocean and has nice view through the window. The train station is couple of min away. The bathroom was tiny as well as the towels but they had nice robes. There is nothing else to do to at the hotel (no spa or gym, etc). However you can use their sister hotel in the same town if you want to use onsen. There is a restaurant in the hotel but only serves breakfast. I would recommend it for overnight stay if you are passing by.
