Kumano-bettei Nakanoshima, hotel in Katsuura

Hot-spring baths and massages can be enjoyed at Nakanoshima, located a 5-minute ferry ride from Kanko Sanbashi pier. Traditional Kaiseki dinners and rooms with views of Nachi Bay are featured.

The start of your journey begins with a lovely boat ride to the island where the hotel is situated. Staff was wonderful and warm and made guests feel welcome. The room and facilities were a bit outdated, but everything was spotless. Our room had beautiful views overlooking the bay. We had the most amazing massage chair in our room (Japanese style family room). The onsen facilities are immaculate with awe inspiring views. The free popsicles and sake were nice touches. You can even rent fishing poles. Great hotel in a quaint fishing village close to the Kumano Kodo.

Wakatake, hotel in Katsuura

Conveniently located just a 1-minute walk from Kiikatsuura Train Station, Wakatake offers cozy Japanese-style accommodations featuring tatami (woven-straw) flooring and traditional futon bedding.

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!

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    The onsen in the cave overlooking the sea was a fantastic experience; the food was good; there were so many things to keep everyone entertained; the massage was very relaxing; the staff were very friendly and prompt; the boat ride to the hotel also added to the uniqueness of the experience. Would recommend it to everyone.

    The hotel is beautifully sited on an island and we had a very fine view from our room. We used and enjoyed the onsen, particularly the outdoor public bath. The food, of course, was excellent and the service and attention to detail outstanding.
