Top Taiji-cho Whale Museum Hotel Reviews

KAMENOI HOTEL NACHI KATSUURA KUMANO KODO

10/10 Excellent

"The ryokan was very beautiful with a very inviting lobby. Staff were extremely accommodating and checked on food allergies. Dinner and breakfast were awesome, tasted so great and filling. There was some mold in the toilet so minus points for that."

Kumano-bettei Nakanoshima

10/10 Excellent

"The atmosphere was amazing. The property sits on a private island a short ferry ride from the port of Katsuura. Onsen was high quality."

Hotel Urashima

8/10 Good

"This is our second stay at Hotel Urashima. They've changed ownership so there is a difference in checking in There are stand alone Kiosk to check in. Not so personal. We usually get 1/2 board which is buffet breakfast and buffet dinner. Both breakfast and dinner have several pre dinner cooking devices that you cook your fish or vegetables. Breakfast could be improved. My favorite is the variety of onsens and the cave grottto is my favorite. There is also a shiatsu massage service."

Sunrise Katsuura
