The apartment was not clean but reasonably well set up. It is not easily assessable with limited public transport. Took me a long time finding it. DO NOT use this place if you are not familiar with it's location. Taking taxi will be very costly. Wifi was intermittent & AC was not working

Hotel Nagisaya, hotel in Katsuura

Located a 5-minute drive from JR Kiikatsuura Train Station, Hotel Nagisaya offers a free shuttle service, and hot spring baths with an ocean view.

The view from our room was lovely and there was a feeling of old style elegance. The staff were polite and went out of their way to help when we left a pair of sunglasses in town - they immediately went to fetch them for us saving a hot walk. Very good service. The outside onsen was also good to have and we enjoyed a small walk along the rocks.

Kyukamura Nanki-Katsuura, hotel in Katsuura

Set in Nachikatsuura, 6 km from Fudarakusanji Temple, Kyukamura Nanki-Katsuura offers accommodation with a terrace, free private parking and a restaurant.

The hotel staff really went extra miles to help us. Due to an accident, our train was delayed for one hour , we missed the prearranged pickup, nevertheless, when we called the hotel, they immediately sent the bus to pick us up from JR station. The food is really wonderful, the waitresses were very attentive and thoughtful. Onsen is really beautiful. From outdoor Onsen, you could see ocean and sakura, there is no better combination imo🤗

    Katsuura is very scenic with beautiful bays, and a backdrop of mountains and small towns. Kii Katsuura is renowed for tuna fishing and so the freshest tuna sushimi can be found everywhere. Accommodation places are not far from the train station and local bus transport is available. While there are beaches as well as opportunity for recreational walking, we didn't have time to explore these options.

    Only had half a day & 1 night but wish I had more. Convenient JR station with excellent help and support from train staff & information centre. With the fish market there it was a hotspot for locals enjoying fresh fish and sushi. Few other restaurants to choose from for more variety. Great spot for sightseeing if ocean views are your thing. The next suburb approx 5-10min away even has a shopping complex including cinema and western fast food (if you’re so inclined). Seemed like a good base to explore southern Wakayama and it’s not full of western tourists (yes I am aware of the irony leaving this review being a western tourist 😂)

    Near the Kumano national park, a seaside town known for tuna and onsens. Local fish market near the harbour has fresh tuna sushi/sashimi. The big cave onsen inside hotel Urashima is a must visit, doesn't have to stay overnight, can visit via a day pass. Kumano Nachi Taisha shrine (part of Kumano Kodo hiking route) and waterfall is nearby. There are buses between Katsuura and Nachi. The visit takes around half a day.

    Amazing tuna sushi from fish caught the same day!!

    Amazing tuna sushi from fish caught the same day!! Nachi no Ogi Matsuri (Nachi Fire Festival) was really impressive and the mountain surrounding it is beautiful with giant trees and Japan's largest waterfall! Really friendly people and easy to get around too! The lady in the tourist information booth was really nice and they even have special local anime mascot goods available there so check that out too! Overall this little fishing town is fun to explore with lots of local charm, great cultural experiences, and beautiful nature to admire. I definitely recommend visiting for a festival and checking out the daily tuna auctions in the morning. Eat maguro everything and be happy!

    Kii-Katsuura is an attractive fishing village, with many interesting and relatively inexpensive restaurants specializing in tuna dishes, mostly raw. It is the gateway to a number of the most important Kumano Kodo sights such as the Nachi Taisha grand shrine, and the Nach no Taki waterfall, the highest in Japan.

    A charismatic little fishing port, with a clean and interesting functioning fishing harbour. The morning's fish market auction is worth seeing. Plenty of good Tuna-specialist restaurants. An ideal place to spend the night after finishing the Kumano Kodo, and then catch a train the next day.

    The location of the hotel is great, it is quite secluded, which makes it wonderfully silent at night, but the town is still easily reachable by foot. The outdoor bath was exquisite, we spent quite some time there. Staff is very professional and accommodating. The shuttle to town was a big plus, we made good use of it. The view from our room was quite spectacular, we spent a lot of time on our "indoor balcony" with the windows open, listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks below us.

    Amazing place and the most beautiful onsen I have ever visited. The location is calm and the view from the room was absolutely stunning. The food was very good but given the standards of the hotel could be even better. Great offer of free coffee, ice cream etc all day. Very good ferry service that is included and frequent. The room was spacious and very nice to stay in. The staff were really great and helpful.

    I was running late at check-out and was given 30 extra minutes, which was very generous of the host. A free bicycle was also available, which was very convenient. The house has plenty of space and a full, well-equipped kitchen. The neighborhood is very quiet, about 2km away from Kii-Katsuura Station. The taxi ride from Kii-Katsuura Station to the house on the day of my arrival was ¥1,120.

    Great views of the beach and surfers. 2 minutes from kii-temma station. The bedrooms are smallish, but have everything you need. And the beds are super comfy with very nice duvets & plump pillows. The bedroom window that is the width of the room and shows off the stretch of coast, is lovely……along with a tiny balcony. The breakfast is also great quality- tuna sashimi for breaky!!

    Great last night during the kumano kodo. This hotel is located right next to the train/bus station, which made it very convenient to arrive/leave. The rooms are comfortable and the shared onsen and bathroom facilities were very clean. The dinner was fantastic, highly recommend staying here just for that!

    This hotel is a premium location to get to know the hot springs of the area. The staff is amazing and the amenities are par none. I felt as in a dream through the facilities and trail and relaxed and connected to the world in the open baths in ways I’ve never felt before.

    It's definitely the most beautyful onsen I've seen so far. Very nice location, hotel and staff. Massage seat in the room was great! My girlfriend could join the onsen even though she was tattoed.
