Wakayama was never on our list until we heard about Kumano Kodo. It was an underrated city where there were many interesting places to explore. We would recommend doing the Kumano Kodo - Nakahechi route walk for anyone who loves hiking. The minimum of 4 days were required for this route, as we did. We spent 2 days hiking from Takijiri-oji near Tanabe city to Kumano Hongu Taisha. Then, we explored Yunomine Onsen which was one of the oldest onsen town in Japan and Kawayu Onsen where we could dig our own onsen pool on the river bank. We also recommended doing a boat tour down the river to Kumano Hayatama Taisha as it was part of the UNESCO world heritage site. Lastly, to complete the 3 grand shrines, we visited Kumano Nachi Taisha and the Nachi falls, the tallest fall in Japan, on our last day. The logistics were not difficult. We took the Kuroshio train to and from Wakayama and local bus in Hongu area.

Wakayama castle was very good, not only the view from the top of the tower but also the garden and tea room and secret corridor! You can also enter into the museum if you show the Wakayama castle entrance ticket. The zoo is ok for kids but not so much for grown up!

It’s one of the less popular destinations and thus prices are really nice. A lot of fresh fruits and sea is reasonably clean. If you don’t have time to go to Shirahama, Wakayama city is the second best. Isonoura beach has white sand.

This is our first time to Wakayama and we fell in love with it! It’s a quiet town but people are friendly. Easy to drive to various places of interest like Shirahama. We see more locals than foreign tourists in Wakayama and really love the tranquility of this place. I will definitely spend longer time in wakayama if I come back to Osaka again 👍

Wakayama city prioritizes automobiles. Cars are everywhere.
Wakayama city prioritizes automobiles. Cars are everywhere. Bus service is excellent. Walking is unpleasant because of the frequent need to give way to the few cars rolling through 6 lanes of asphalt.
In contrast, that makes the stroll around the castle a particularly nice experience. The gardens around are well maintained, very pretty. Every sunset is a new experience.
If you have a car, then sure, spend a night there, maybe two if you want to spend some time around Wakanoura. But then speed away to where the real magic of Wakayama happens: Koyasan, Kumano Nachi, Kumano Hongu,...

Wakayama City is a beautiful and relaxing place!
Wakayama City is a beautiful and relaxing place! Full of onsens and fun places to go. We visited Marina City, where we saw a Tuna filleting demonstration at Kuroshio Market and took beautiful photos in Porto Europe. We also saw Wakayama Castle which was stunning with the cherry blossoms in bloom and very fun with the ninjas roaming the grounds. They were quite helpful. The BEST part was the Fusion Museum in the Forte building where you can input a design on a computer and then ride a bicycle to knit the design!
I liked the TV in each dorm booth, although only JP channels. The very clean dorm room included a toilet, bath/shower, refrigerator, microwave, slippers, and lockers. Towels & toothbrush included.
Supermarket, 7-11 and Lawson convenience stores within 1-minute walk. Centrally located between both JR and Nankai train stations. 15-min. walk to Wakayama Castle park. Plenty of bars & restaurants nearby, including 2 Thai massage places.
The property is in a great location, it's very 70's style. Loved the big bath over looking the water. Rooms were big and clean. The Japanese bakery downstairs had the yummiest food. It had two restaurants in hotel, but due to price we ate elsewhere. We had come to try onsen only 100 meters down rd, but unfortunately my husband had a small tattoo on his shoulder so they said he couldn't enter. But the onsen is very close.
Breakfast was OK. One of the toaster is malfunction not sure why is there . We used another one and is fine. Room size is actually bigger than I thought . I could actually open my 28 inch luggage without a problem at the end of my bed . Which most hotels in Japan budget hotel could not do. The sleeping area and guest floor corridors seems to be refurbished, so a bit better than the rest of the hotel areas.
The room was spacious and all facilities were immaculate. There are lots of nice details that make it feel like home. The hosts are fabulous and eager to share information about getting around. They both speak English quite well. I really appreciated the ride to and from the train station. The front door locks securely. Use of bicycles was nice too. It’s not far from Wakayama Castle.
View of the Wakayama Castle 🏰 is amazing from our 18th floor room.
Took a bus from Wakayama station to the hotel opposite the castle, taking maybe 7 minutes. Very easy.
Restaurants and combini store available in the building.
Decided to stay 2 extra nights, negotiated with the staff and happy we didn't have to move rooms. Thank you so much for that.
Clean, comfortable room. Really nice buffet breakfast, reasonably priced, and the dining room has an excellent view of Wakayama castle. The location of the hotel is good for sightseeing at Wakayama castle and about 10 mins from Wakayamashi Station (Wakayama station is further away)
Comfortable, spacious and clean room and hotel overall, just a few minutes' walk from Wakayama station. Staff was friendly and helpful. I spent only one night here with a late-ish arrival and early check-out but enjoyed my short stay very much.
The location was great and the room and services were fantastic. The location was great and wakayamas transportation system makes it very easy to get around by bus. The staff was upset helpful and the common room was very nice as well
Good facilities and location, right next to the Wakayama Castle. More importantly, super considerate hosts! Hiroko offered to pick me up from the station and even brought me there later on because my suitcase was so heavy.
Very convenient location, a five-minutes walk from Wakayama Station. Very friendly staff. I also liked the bento sale in the first floor, and around 4 pm you can get discounted ones.
The location is good. Easy access to JR Wakayama and Wakayamashi Station by bus. The staff is very kind. We found two convenience store just a walking distance from hotel.
