Hotels near Onigajo Castle, Kumano

We were genuinely quite surprised at how nice this hotel was. Visiting as part of a three week tour for our honeymoon, we stayed in 9 hotels, and some swanky ones costing almost 10x this per night. Somehow I remember this over most of them. Value for money, this was the best out of them all. Service was amazing (obviously, it's Japan). The reception, halls and rooms were mostly made out of wood and with the lighting low and moody, it was a very chilled and relaxing place to be. The bed was gigantic, and the amenities in the room just what you need - really good shower with good shampoo and gel, mirrors, water, tea & coffee with a kettle, pj's etc. In addition, there's a communal area on the ground floor with a fridge containing frozen fresh soups (didn't try), and a microwave, kettle, and all of the utensils for dinner in a kitchen area nearby. It's on a main-ish road but we couldn't hear any noise at all in case you have concerns. There's no restaraunt here but they offer bento boxes for breakfast. I'd highly recommend the Benkei restaraunt over the road for some extremely nice Ramen!

Very clean Professional staff Very good onsen. For male and female(according to my partner) Nice view from the seaside room. Location in Kumano is good, there is the connection with the village through the breathtaking onigajō cliffs and also a walking tunnel. We also did a day trip by car to Nachi from here. There was also a little foldable table in the room to have tea and food.

Definitely better than expected. The evening receptionist was kind and friendly, tried to explain things to me even though I understand minimal Japanese, I really appreciate. Ofuro was nice ( common shower and bath). My room was quite big and comfortable. Love the futon bed.

The room was very charming and the host is lovely!
