Properties with Onsen in Katsuura

We had a group of 5 people and stayed in the Deluxe family room. Everything was clean and prepared for our arrival and the staff showed us around all of the facilities and explained everything to us in English as we did not speak much Japanese, Not all of the staff spoke English, however anytime we had a query that required it they would always help us to speak with someone who did which was extremely helpful. The room itself was extremely spacious and came with 2 large beds and 3 tatami beds that were setup for us when we went for dinner. The room had all of the amenities that you could need and also gave each person a yukata and sandals that could be worn around the entire site. The balcony overlooks the bay and other areas on the island and is very beautiful, particularly at sunrise and sunset. The food for both dinner and breakfast was exceptional. The staff were extremely attentive and explained each of the courses to us in English and were always on hand for even the smallest request. There is a fantastic walk on the top of the island that is accessible via the main lift and is a brilliant spot for photographs or just to relax in the quiet although the staff explained that it is closed when it is dark so make sure not to miss out on it if you are interested. The site has both indoor and outdoor Onsen's which are rotated between Men and Women each day. These were extremely well kept and have all of the necessities for showering beforehand etc. These were absolutely the highlight of the accommodation and I would thoroughly recommend that everyone uses them at least once during their stay. The boats to and from the mainland can be arranged with staff up to every 15 minutes and they can also arrange a free taxi shuttle service from the dock to the train station nearby I would also just like to mention about how exceptional all of the staff were. We felt welcome from the moment we set foot on the boat to the moment we stepped back off it.

We LOVED this huge seaside hotel-- especially the cave onsen. It's got some of that Japan bubble aesthetic, as it was opened in 1956 and updated throughout Japan's boom times. Our room had an incredible view of the sea, and it was fun to just roam around the hotel. Wish we could have stayed longer!

I loved the open air bath. The room was spacious with comfortable beds and with a beautiful view towards the sea. The hotel is a bit remote, so all the surrounding area is very calm and quiet. And the breakfast was delicious, the best we've head in Japan. ❤️

It is very close to the train station and bus station. The breakfast they provided were very delicious. They do provide vegetarian meals, which is very rare in Japan. Mika, Kieda and the other young boy are very helpful. Thank you all.🙏🙏🙏

We stayed here after the Kumano kodo. This place has the most amazing amenities! There is a private Onsen, washer and dryer, kitchen, and bikes! It is a 3 min walk to a bus stop. The owner who let us in is so kind and helpful.

Very nice small hostel. Excellent location, clean and comfortable. The rest guests were mainly young backpackers. There is onsen you can book and use privately.

The staff were so friendly and accommodating, speaking in English for us tourists. The rooms were clean and beautiful. This was by far our favorite place we stayed at during our visit to Japan!

Friendly customer service. Really nice location.

Japanese ryokan, on the beach and 4 different buffets.

The room was clean and the futon was comfortable. Overall a decent place. I would warn visitors that this location does tend to host youth groups that come through which makes it a little more noisy during dinner and non quiet times.
