Hotel Dengan spa di Wakayama Prefecture, Japan

The hotel and room were very clean and tidy. The food was delicious, and it was great to have both breakfast and dinner right there at the hotel. The hot springs were fantastic too, and after a soak, there was complimentary ice cream and yogurt. The hotel even provided complimentary late-night ramen for guests. The value for money here is truly exceptional!

The hotel environment is clean and beautiful, and the service is very attentive. The breakfast buffet is abundant. We chose a Japanese-style (tatami) room, which was spacious and tidy. There's a large public onsen on the top floor, and private onsen baths are also available for reservation (3500 JPY per session). The swimming pool wasn't open, so we missed out on that. The location is very convenient, right next to Shirahama Beach. The only minor drawback is that the hotel is located on a hill, so walking up the steep slope back to the hotel every day was a bit of a challenge for our cardio and stamina, but we just considered it a workout, which was fine. If we come to Shirahama again, we'll definitely choose this place.

Highly recommend the Wakayama Onsen Hotel! The hot springs are absolutely wonderful, genuinely natural, and the facilities are very clean. Each hot spring room even has a TV. The sauna room also has a TV. It's about a 7-minute walk from the station, and there aren't too many dining options nearby. They offer free ramen 🍜 after 9:30 PM, free ice cream 🍦 after your hot spring dip during the day, and free massage chairs. You can also borrow and read as many manga books as you like.

The hotel's location is fantastic, right above Nankai Station, making it super convenient for getting to and from Osaka. Plus, the bus to Kuroshio Market is just downstairs! It's a shame it rained both days I was there, so I didn't get to enjoy the hot springs. But the views from the hotel are absolutely amazing!

The hotel is located right by the river with a beautiful view. You can enjoy the outdoor onsen, and they provide yukata/clothes to change into. It’s a shame because the location is excellent, but the hotel could really use a renovation. The onsen is spacious, but it feels quite old, with moss/algae buildup in some areas, and it’s located next to a smoking room, so the cigarette smell was quite disturbing. Both breakfast and dinner are served buffet-style with a wide variety of options, and the food tastes good. In the evening, there’s also a great selection of alcoholic drinks available.

This is the best hotel experience! It's perched on a hilltop in Kushimoto, and the lobby offers an unbeatable ocean view. You absolutely have to choose the one-meal-two-stay package; the buffet dinner runs until 9 PM, which is perfect for a satisfying meal after a day of sightseeing. They have a great selection, including tuna sashimi, a special tea-rice dish, Western cuisine, and more – definitely a top-notch buffet. My favorite part was the public bath. There's an outdoor section with sea views, which is incredibly relaxing. The waiting area is spacious and even has free ice cream bars, which the kids absolutely loved. The most relaxing aspect was the happy hour in the lobby, with unlimited beer, wine, sparkling drinks, and snacks. You can just sit back and enjoy the blissful ocean views. The only downside: there was a strong musty smell, especially noticeable and persistent when it rained.

We had a really wonderful stay here. The restaurant’s dishes were very unique and memorable. The only downside was that the room was quite bright during the day, and the soundproofing wasn’t very good, so we could often hear noises from outside.

The rooms are spacious, but the hotel is quite old, so the facilities are outdated. However, because there are indoor and outdoor hot springs, many locals stay there on weekends, and the lobby bar offers complimentary snacks and drinks, making it good value overall. However, the hotel's location is remote, and there aren't many restaurants nearby, making it very inconvenient if you're not traveling by car.

Definitely interesting experience. Partly tourist tradition, partly religious. As a new, atypical experience in Japan, the meal ritual and the vegetarian cuisine itself were interesting. Participation in the morning Buddhist prayer was valuable. Comfortable nice leather slippers. Saving hot springs on a rainy day. The strict end of the day time was inconvenient for us: the front door closed at 9 pm, and we were not allowed to linger during our walk. Quiet time from 9 p.m.Baths close at 8 and 9 pm. Thanks for the experience!🙏

room and onsen is clear and comfortable lobby staff told me the starting dinner time is wrong but at last they special to remake the dinner food for us (5 persons) we're so happy about their staff service very nice and helpful we will choose this hotel again
