Hotels near Onigajo Castle, Kumano

Such a warm welcome when we arrived - the homemade cheesecake and helpful directions around town were great. The room was clean and tidy and exactly what we needed for the night.

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!

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.

Humongous room. Very cosy. Very kind owner and friends. It was good to have a bit of down time without any pressure..

This was one of our favorite stays! The balcony overlooking the bay had a nice view of the water, very quiet and peaceful little town surrounded by mountains and water. The guest house was beautiful and thoughtfully designed and the futons were comfortable to sleep on. We were right across the street from the water and we had a lovely walk on the beach. The host was very friendly and welcoming, he gave us some clementines he had grown and he also gave us a great recommendation for dinner.

Very comfortable stay, lovely and quiet location with amazing beach.
