ซันไรส์ คัทสึอูระ

The osen (public bath) was very nice, clean and well set-up. The breakfast was beautifully served, very tasty and a full, traditional, healthy Japanese breakfast, which is definitely worth including in your booking.

スタッフも気さくでとても良い滞在でした。 朝食もとても良く、味も種類も申し分ないです。 和歌山らしい朝食で嬉しかったです。 1点だけ、浴場の床の髪の毛を履くためのクイックルワイパーなどがあれば嬉しいです。 お風呂から上がって髪の毛が足に付くのが悲しいためです。 またぜひ宿泊したいです。

Hotel was an 8 minute walk from the train station, easy as. Hotel was clean and staff friendly and welcoming. Room was gorgeous, traditional Japanese room with the most amazing view over the water, sunrise and sunset was beautiful. Room was very comfortable as was the futon for sleeping. Bathroom in the room (no shower) and the room had everything you needed. Bathing: hotel has a male and female (separate) sento/onsen (communal bathing). Common at the more traditional hotels. You have your modesty towel 😅 to use if you wish. Mattered were two male baths- indoor and outdoor. Indoor was beautifully hot and large in size and being indoor, the steam is a great feeling. Outdoor one is smaller (4 people), and is nice and warm and allows a good balance of being able to moderate your body temperature. Both look at our the water. Don’t be shy to go and use these facilities, great place to talk with people whilst relaxing or keep to yourself. Town is an old port town and is very quiet, not many cars around or people. By 6pm you might see a handful of people walking around. Dining options are limited outside the hotel but they are there, if you walk around the street you will find enough dining options. It’s a beautiful town and easy trip to Nachi taisha. Info office at the station if you need, they speak English and happy to help you. Great time and highly recommend this hotel.
