Hotels near Mizukodo, Nachikatsuura

Plan Kumano Sanzan, rent a car from Nanki Shirahama Airport, and stay at this inn after Nachi Falls. There was only a cooking inn, and the dinner and breakfast were very delicious. There are many dishes, especially the dried cherry blossoms that I had for breakfast were bought at a nearby store where I was taught that they were so delicious, and I am still immersed in the afterglow. The bath is small, but it is reserved at night and in the morning, probably because there are many people crossing Urashima. I was able to be there slowly. The best thing about that was the customer service attitude of the working person 々. It was an inn that I felt that I was being treated from my heart and wanted to stay if I had a chance to go again. The difficulty is １ The smell of the drain from the toilet.

Après avoir aimé et arpenté de nombreuses contrées en Asie comme dans plus de 100 pays de ce vaste monde en soixante ans, j’ai vécu en cet endroit la cinquième étape de mon second voyage au Japon trop longtemps reporté cause Covid et bien trop marquant pour ne pas avoir envie d’y retourner… Professionnel du voyage, auteur de guides touristiques basé au Maroc, j’ai découvert ce superbe «Ryokan», ses bains d’eau sulfureuse et chaude à souhait, ses prestations et service, comme son exceptionnel rapport qualité/prix dans un pays dont la réputation est d’être excessivement cher ne font qu’agrémenter ce séjour. Exceptionnel n’est donc pas un vain mot pour décrire cet établissement où l’on va de surprises en surprises en découvrant sa «chambre », ainsi qu’une cuisine délicieuse et finement présentée… Un régal pour les yeux… Un ravissement pour les papilles… Et un nouvel art de vivre en revêtant la tenue de samouraï que l’ensemble des convives portent pour aller dîner… Paix de l’âme et tranquillité de l’esprit sont les maîtres mots de cette demeure dont le passé se conjugue avec le monde d’aujourd’hui dans un environnement d’une exceptionnelle beauté.

Kumano Sea is right in front of you. The entrance is on the 4th floor, with a front desk and a viewing terrace. However, due to the unfortunate weather and gloomy outlook during our visit, we did not use the observation terrace. The rooms were located on the 1st to 5th floors. At check-in, the front desk showed us the location of the front desk, elevators, rooms, bathrooms, and restaurant on a small map of the building, which was very convenient. The dining location was a restaurant, but due to the coronavirus, seats were spaced apart. Since we visited in July, where different menus are prepared depending on the season, we decided to try ``tuna.'' A menu was placed on the table. Seafood is the main dish, but Kumano beef loin teppanyaki is also available. It's not a big deal, but I think it's ”satisfactory”. The baths consist of a large bath, silk skin bath, ceramic bath, and open-air bath, but you have to go down the stairs to access the ceramic bath and open-air bath. Unfortunately, the weather was not good, so the view was not satisfactory.

It is about 5 minutes walk through the street that is not vibrant like the shutter street in front of shingu station. I didn't have much expectations, but when the hotel approached, the building was clean and this was quite good. The first floor is mainly a parking lot (there are other parking lots), and the front desk is on the third floor. There is a feeling of cleanliness at the front desk with a considerable size. I think the staff is also great. The room was on the 5th floor, but I was surprised to enter the room. The room has an area of more than 20 square meters and is relaxing. The step is between the boards. It is a double and semi-double twin bed in the back. If the bath in the room is also large, and I thought I would put it loose, there is also a large bath on the 3 floor. The large bath is large and the bathtub alone can put about 10 people loosely. The washroom is also equipped with a partition wall, and about 10 people can be used at a time. Breakfast was also rich in number of items and provided us with enough satisfaction. There are Kumano Hayatama Taisha shrine and kamikura Jinja shrine nearby, so it is also convenient to visit Kumano Sanzan. I stayed at various national hotels, but it was an impressive hotel including Cospa.

For a westerner this is a bit of an odd place. Its quite easy to list its deficiencies- there is no bar, no place to sit in the Sun and , I’m afraid to say, we did not find the food vey palatable. Elsewhere in Japan we have steered for the small local restaurants with no English menu - we’ve loved the food but not here. The best you can say about breakfast is that you can construct a bacon butty but as for dinner … well we had pot noodles in our room most nights. A question of taste I guess. Why 5 stars then? Firstly the staff are marvelous- went the extra marathon never mind a mile , simply the best. Secondly our Japanese style room high up above the river was fabulous with awesome views of the river and oodles of space. Even loved the futons. The outside onsen is a great place to chill, if that is the word for a hot spring even if you have to wear an item of clothing which is a cross between a kilt and a loin cloth and does little to cover your modesty. A memorable experience

When I arrived at Watase Onsen after dark in the evening, despite the language barrier, the uncle at the front desk took the initiative to use the translation software to explain in detail the use of the hotel’s facilities and the opening hours of the hot springs. Let us move in as soon as possible.

The treatment was polite and very good impression. I made a reservation from the official site, and the day before, I received a polite guide email saying, ”Because the parking lot may be full....” If you arrive at the hotel on the day, you will be checking in I did, but immediately, ”Is it a guest of check-in? Thank you today. Please come here” and guided me to sit and wait in the sofa space in the hall. I booked it as an image of a hotel with a good business hotel service, so I was very grateful for the treatment of the city hotel. The quality of beds and pillows was good and I could sleep well. It is a little unfortunate that there is no bathtub and only shower, but it is convinced that it suppresses the price. The road station is close, the train station is close, and Mihama Beach is also a short walk The location is the best. About 10 minutes by car to the road station with the sea turtle. The next day, I entered the mountain in the Kumano gawa River and was a mountain road drive to Shirahama, so it was good to see the sea here.

We stayed at Fairfield Inn several places, but there are similar quality to other Fairfield Inn in facilities here. In addition, there is a feeling of handmade hospitality that is not very large chain hotels. The handwritten restaurant guide of Kushimoto is also warm. I went out by taxi for dinner, but I felt the care that was not manual in the exchange. The room has a room facing the bridge pile rock and a room facing the opposite direction, but the room facing the bridge pile rock is recommended. It looks definitely good at a different angle from the road station opposite.

This ryokan onsen hotel feels new and clean overall; even without a shower tub in the room, I did not mind going to its nice public onsen for bathing. Dinner and Breakfast are both excellent. I used this hotel as a base to visit the incomparable Maruyama Senmaida and Doro-kyo Gorge / Kitayama, using a rented bike from Kumano Itaya Kurobe no sato, Michino-no-eki in Kiwacho Itaya. Hotel staff and Customer Service at this hotel are also the best, as evidenced by the free hotel shuttle back to Kumano or Shingu. Without question, this is the best hotel out of the 18 I stayed at during my 5 week trip to Japan this Spring.

６ On the weekend of mid-middle, I was disturbed with my wife and parents. The location is just below the Kushimoto City to climb the high ground and overlook the oedo Onsen story. The seaside rooms, the public baths, can see the vast Pacific Ocean and bridge pile rocks. The room used is a family room on the ４ floor. It is a space that was wide 々, but the old-fashioned unit bus and the dirty window make a little mood. And it is a non-smoking room, but it smelled quite a cigarette, so it would be good to check in advance if you are not good. The public bath has a considerable size in the inner bath and the open air, and even if there are a considerable number of people, you will not feel the tightness. Asahi from the open air is a great view. There is also a dry sauna with about ５ people. The meal was a seasonal meeting, but both the quality and quantity were satisfactory. Breakfast is a buffet style of local food. The best thing about this is the staff's customer service. Check-in at the front desk, orders at the restaurant, explanation of the dishes, check-in at the store, and any one was pleasant and refreshing. Thank you and the staff for this stay. Thank you for taking care of us.
