Kada Onsen Seaside Hotel Kada Kaigetsu

The food was excellent and the onsen at night overlooking the ocean and the lighthouse was incredible. If you're planning to go to Tomogashima island keep in mind that the ferry doesn't sail on Wednesday and may be cancelled on other days due to high wind. I was unable to make it to the island on my 2 night stay so I suppose I will just have to come back again!

Meals are very delicious and adequate.

Our room was super spacious with a stunning view. Very clean as well. The onsen was beautiful, especially the outside pool facing the ocean. The meals delicious

Room was great, staff were very helpful. Hotel configuration is such that there are a set of about 10 steps that cannot be avoided, even though there is an elevator. That means that luggage has to be hauled up the steps. Staff were very helpful, we arrived in two groups. Second group after the kitchen closed. First guest had to go to Kansai airport to pick up second group. All missed dinner. Hotel was very understanding and did not charge us for that dinner.

Our room was generous and the ocean view was spectacular. Both dinner and breakfast were beautifully presented and generous. The staff was friendly and the service excellent. The nearby jinja was delightful.

Le transport vers la gare de Kada est bien organisée. La réception nous a appelée un taxi puisque nous etions a l'exterieur des heures de navettes. Environ 1000 ¥ cest raisonnable. La vue est imprenables et que les repas traditionnelle (souper et dejeuner) délicieux.

Amazing experience! Although a little difficult to get to, this ryokan was totally worth it. We got the fish meals and they were extraordinary - nothing was in English, so we had no idea what we were eating. But that’s part of it!

Bay view, quite relaxing. Need ramp from reception area to elevator for baggage

Sea view is incredible

Make sure to use the pay phone at the train station to call the shuttle to pick you up if you don’t have a local phone. So other than that stress, this is a beautiful, peaceful place with a wonderful separated onsen and amazing authentic Japanese food.

Lovely seaside vibes. Remote, safe, and friendly staff.

Great property and hospitality

We were surprised with the newly renovated hotel. The front desk staff was very friendly. When I told him we could not catch the next morning train back to Shin-Osaka with their regular shuttle service, he offered to help us to book taxi and printed out train schedule with platform on/off outlined. View from our corner room 456 was stunning. We booked fish dinner which was good, breakfast was a bit boring Japanese rice but they provide enough coffee for coffee addict ;-)

Good ryokan with amazing view

Having a nice view of sunset. Too bad it was raining & cloudy. The dinner is good. The yukata is very old.

Just got back from a trip overseas, including 2 nights at this onsen hotel. We booked a non-smoking ocean view room, with kaiseki breakfast and dinner. We booked a room that could have up to 6 people. We were unprepared for how luxurious this room was! We had a huge tatami room looking over the ocean, very nicely appointed, and a separate room with a couch and massage chair, overlooking the ocean as well. Our bedroom had 2 double sized beds, and there was an extra tatami room that we never used because we were always enjoying the seaside room. The downstairs has a lovely covered porch where barbeque dinners are held, and the resort gives daily yukata changes with belts. They were so comfortable and nice! And the onsen was amazing, there are two side (mens, womens), and they both overlook the sea. We sat and watched a spectacular sunset during our stay. The kaiseki meals were fabulous!!! I kept worrying that we were going to have a humongous bill because there were 9-11 courses, and during the dinner we had a private dining room. I suppose this might have been part of the price of our room. The breakfasts were no different--excellent! I have to say that I am often wary/suspicious of the kinds of photos that you might see online that exaggerate aspects of a place. I was prepared to have a nice stay, but had no idea that it would be above and beyond. The Japanese friends with us were just as impressed as we were. Service was exceptional in every way!

Good location for fishing & good services. Staff is helpful & friendly.

Didn't have expectation about this old place before I visited. Well... just everything was perfect for me to take a rest away from annoying and crowded Osaka. No need to explain by writing long review. Definitely worth it to stay. They do the shuttle bus service when arrive at Kada station (Just call to the hotel at the info center) and 9:30 and 10:10 back to the station after check-out.

Did not tell us it was a smoking room before paying: cheap move by Hotels.com. If we had known, we wouldn’t have booked it. Also cannot cancel after booking. In the end, we had to pay extra to upgrade to top floor. Other than that, the hotel is great, with a stunning view. There are a few minor criticisms though 1) a long walk to the elevator, and you have to climb stairs before and after accessing it: sort of defeats the purpose of an elevator. Inconvenient for heavy luggage travelers. 2) free WiFi in the lobby only 3) TV a bit small and is placed at an awkward angle(in the corner). 4) the dude’s onsen is great, but she said the chick’s onsen is super small. 5) the train between wakayama and Wakayama-Shi is infrequent, even though it’s a short ride. We still need to transfer to nankai train to get to Kado, before getting a free ride to the hotel : so it isn’t all that convenient.

Nice ocean view of the outdoor onsen area. The location is out of walking distance from the train station, it is suggested to seek for help from the train station stuff to contact the hotel. They are willing to offer shuttle bus to get you there. Overall, it is a good choice for vacation.
