“Best stay for Nachi falls”

Perfect stay in Katsuura . The dinner and breakfast included were superb. Staff was extremely nice and offered extensive inform about the dishes offered. Very comfortable and well located to train station and bus station for Nachi falls.

Everything, it was great value and had a nice omsen.

It was right by the train station which was great. The meals were extensive. I was so full. Wow.

Nice downstairs restaurant. Spacious room.

Friendly staff and clean facilities

“Charming guesthouse opposite the station with mural-covered walls, onsen facilities, and exceptional tuna-focused dining”

Lovely bijou guest house opposite the station Walls covered with Japanese artist murals Great facilities with onsen perfect after finishing Komano Kodo Incredible evening meal trying different types of locally caught tuna

“Good place to stay in Katsura. Good value and lovely dinner.”

Lovely traditional Japanese room. Dinner was great making the most of tuna straight from the fishing boats. Near the railway station. Enjoyed wandering around the port region. A good place to stay after the Kumano Kodo trail.

The room was comfortable and quite large. The onsen was lovely. The food for dinner and breakfast was amazing! Perfectly located for the train station (but quiet), and only a few minutes walk to the port.

Great location near the train station. Neat and clean hotel. Owner gave us an umbrella as it was raining and she was very happy to help with bag storage.

Location - close you train station

“Great location, good value.”

It was very convenient, great location just in front of the train station. Rooms were spacious enough, however do note that bathrooms and toilets are shared. Amenities were provided

The dinner was amazing! They offered a great variety of tuna dishes and a sake selection. The staff was simply fantastic, we forgot a souvenir in the room and they kindly contacted us to inform us

“After Kumano Kodo a great treat for the body”

I went there because of the dinner. Other reviewers had recommended it. They were right. It was fantastic. Local specialities including tuna collar. And the way the food got presented was really fancy. Like a coarse meal.with the chef explaining me different sake. Moreover, originally I had booked a double bed room, even as I travel as single, cos this was only available bedroom according to booking. With a little chat back and forth, they were offering me a cheaper room. So nice and helpful! Onsen was good and clean. I did not book breakfast.

“Entspannung”

I had a wonderful stay at wakatake, the couple who runs the place is super sweet and helpful! They also have a dog called kyuuri, which I was allowed to pet. Also next to the Hotel is a very good restaurant that is kind of their sister branch, food there was amazing. But also the in house breakfast had everything you need to start the day and was delicious. They have a communal bath with onsen water which I really enjoyed. After that I went to my room and watched a DvD, as they have tons of DvD‘s and a TV+player in the room. My stay really had everything I wished for, and it was the perfect place for me to relax.

The dinner was excellent and the bath was nice after doing Kumano Kodo.

“Excellent stay”

Of course the food! That's the main reason we chose to stay here. Their dinner is a bomb and it'd be a waste if you book the room but not the dinner. The minshuku owns an eatery too, and they specialise in tuna. Not sure if you can enjoy the same dinner in their restaurant. Tuna was cooked in all kinds of method - from raw sashimi, to vinegared, in soup, fried, and the unbelieveably huge baked tuna jaws! Tip: Starve yourself before the dinner, but even then you might not be able to finish everything. Wife host is hospitable. Husband host is a sake connoisseur so be sure to order sake for tasting! They also have citrusy body cream in the room which smelled so fragrant on the skin.

“Amazing dinner, clean and comfortable stay overall”

Amazing set course dinner!! No words, hands down the best dinner experience we've experienced during our kumano kodo pilgrimage.

Traditional but quirky place with a nice, big room and small but cosy baths. The dinner was incredible - we were blown away by the delicious dishes that just seemed to keep coming!

“Would stay again. Good value for money.”

If you have a big room is a good place to stay. Staff was super helpful. Right across the station. Cheap.

Bath and toilet are not private, you have to leave room to use them.
