“Such a wonderful stay at Nakanoshima. The staff is extremely helpful and does all they can to ensure your comfort. Love the oceanside baths and comfortable futon. Also love reading in the chairs overlooking the ocean.”

“My second stay at Nakanoshima. It's an amazing place to spend the night after the Kumano Kodo and very easy to access Nachi Taisha. Gorgeous baths right next to the ocean. Beautiful tatami rooms. Sweet staff.”

“One island, one Hotel,. the view is excellent especially you can see wide sea view from the outdoor hot spring, the bundled meal is perfect as well, from the balcony the sea is just in front of your eyes.”

There were a few insects. But maybe it’s because it’s on an island. The building is quite old.
The food was really really good and the outdoor Onsen was majestic.

“Beautiful, surprising resort on an island”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Standard Japanese-Style Room
- • Stayed 1 night
The price wasn't cheap, but wasnt expensive either. Everything was clean enough but there are carpet stains. The indoor onsen could use a floor scrub as at times, it did look a bit unclean. The hotel is older and shows its age in some spots. Getting to the mainland could be a a bit of an inconvenience for some as you have to catch a ferry back, but the ferry departs very frequently so it wasn't too much of a hassle for me.
This hotel was the unexpectedly the highlight of my stay in Japan. There are so many mixed reviews on here but trust me - if you're looking for a big-styled Japanese resort style stay without breaking the bank, you won't regret staying here. The staff was very friendly and a few of them speak English very well so communication was never a problem. They were helpful and informative with everything asked of them - from helping with bags, questions about the ferry times, bus times, tourist attractions around the area etc. Probably the best service from a hotel I have seen in a long time, so big thumbs up! Nakanoshima have plenty of onsens in this huge hotel. Indoor, open-air, private, a jacuzzi, a swimming pool - choices are a plenty and you won't be bored ever at this hotel. It is comprised of four seperate buildings and even walking through all the buidings can take about half an hour if you muse at all the little quirks. There are mini zen gardens, tunnels, an arcade games area, lots and lots of restaurants, a walking trail on the top floor, a karaoke bar, a souvenir store... this hotel was full of surprises. Breakfast was heavenly. We got to try the famous fish here and it was delicious. The room itself was clean, beautiful and spacious. Sleeping on the tatami mats was a unique experience and it was made even more enjoyable waking up to such a pretty view overlooking the water. Many rykoans do not equip you with a private bathroom but this hotel does, which was appreciated.

Everything was dated and worn. It needs a major facelift. The breakfast buffet was not a decent Western selection or quality. There needs to be wifi in the rooms.
The hotel had good views of the harbor.

Very old hotel. Clean but in very bad shape. Public baths looked very old and not maintained. Durty carpets in all the hotel. Traces of humidity everywhere. Food was not as good as it should be for that price.
Good location big room with sea view
