Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range

I booked this trip around six months ago, and at the time I was told that the accommodation would have a staffed reception. Unfortunately, by the time I arrived, this had changed. I stayed for seven days and six nights, and during that time we weren’t given enough bath towels. This meant we had to wash the used ones ourselves, but there wasn’t really enough laundry detergent provided for us to do so properly. When I made the booking, I was also assured that luggage storage would be available after check-out. Sadly, because the place has now moved to a completely contactless system, this service was no longer offered. In the end, we had to pay for external luggage storage instead. If you’re planning to cook during your stay, it’s worth checking in advance whether the kitchen has the basics you need. You may need to ask specifically about things like knives, spatulas, and ladles, as these weren’t fully provided.

Great onsen offering

I visited Hotel MONday with my family (4 Adults + 1 child) on 25-Sep-25 for 5 days. The room was quite spacious and kitchen was well equipped with all the equipments (hot plate, microwave, fridge and other cutlery). We being vegan to be able to cook ourselves was a plus point. Also a lot of grocery stores like Family, LIFE supermarket were at a walkable disance allowing us to easily get necesary items. Hotel was at a walkable distance from Metro station (8 - 10 min walk) so we were able to easily visit different places. We enjoyed our stay.
