Great hotel just a couple blocks from Wakayama Station. I only stayed one night and chose it for the proximity to the train station, but for a solo traveler, the room design was perfect, nice little sitting area, big window and a lot of natural light, all the amenities you could possibly need, quality pajamas and sandals, and extra towels, which I always appreciate. Onsen open both late and early (my train was delayed by a typhoon so I didn’t arrive until 1am and the onsen was still open). Staff was kind, friendly and efficient, especially considering my super late arrival. There were laundry facilities and vending machines. At first I thought the bed seemed firm but I slept great. Breakfast was really nice, if you’re trying to eat healthy there was a big bowl of fresh lettuce, plus steamed broccoli and tomatoes for salad, grilled sardines, eggs, miso soup and pickled vegetables. But also sausage and pastries and fun stuff like that. Breakfast started at 6:30am, so helpful if you have an early train. I would absolutely stay here again!

I loved the accessibility of the temple. Free parking is provided and the rooms are spacious, clean, and very traditional. the breakfast and dinner are in a league of their own and are served according to strict Buddhist vegetarian rules. My mouth still waters when I remember the glazed eggplant dish we had for dinner! After staying in a few monasteries all in Koyasan, one thing that Eko-in does much best is provide a great information booklet with context about the monastary’s history and Shingon Buddhism in general. I found that particularly helpful in deciding what to attend and not to attend. I just wanted a meditative space to be able to mediate on my own and do my own prayers. Ekoin was an amazing place for that. I also love how helpful the staff were. The cemetery night walk that leaves from Ekoin is led by a Buddhist monk who provides context about the gravesite. I definitely recommend doing an early walk there on your own and then joining the led tour in the evening. They’re such different experiences.

The Onsen! It had private hours for inn guests. I also appreciated the clean, modern cabin. Yusuke and the whole staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, even offering a shuttle to and from Koyasan twice per day. Beautiful valley. there is a bridge that allows you to get down to the rivers edge to enjoy the water.

This is a world heritage site not to be missed. The kindness and quiet beauty and the FOOD were heavenly. A friend suggested we go and stay a night in a temple for the full experience, (although a day trip is fine,) and we are so glad that we did. The Buddhist Okunoin cemetery is the largest in Japan and is lit by lanterns at night for a beautiful otherworldly (but actually this world! ;) unforgettable evening walk. Beautiful temples and sacred sites to visit, and many shops and little cafes to enjoy. We stayed in the Sanboin temple and were so delighted by our experience.

We are Americans so we had really little knowledge of Shirahama as a resort city. It was at the tail end of a 3 week tour of Japan and was very restful. Fortunately, we were there after Golden Week and before the main tourist season, so it was quiet and relaxing. We had fun over two nights at a local Turkish restaurant, Blue Bar. We'd recommend it. Also, the beach seemed quite nice although we had one day or rain so we didn't hang out there. While this wouldn't be a regular stop for Americans, I think it is worthwhile and an easy train ride to the airport in Osaka.

I spent one night in Kii-Katsuura after walking the Kumano Koda Daimon-Zaka section up to the Nachisan shrine and waterfall. It is a four hour train ride from Osaka but we’ll worth it to see this beautiful area in Japan. Just to warn you, the iconic red pagoda near the waterfall is currently being restored and is covered in tarpaulin until early next year. Katsuura is a sleepy fishing and onsen town. Visit the fishery on the port at 7am to see the daily tuna auction. A great experience is bathing in the cave onsen at Hotel Urashima on an Island five minutes by ferry from Katsuura.

Shingu is a small coastal town with few hills which is a wonderful to find after 10 days hiking on the mountainous Kumano Kodo pilgrimage walks. One of the 3 Great Shrines is here and very accessible whether walking or driving. Getting to and from Shingu is very easy with the train station and bus station being together in the center of town. It is a good base for reaching the other 2 Great Shrines of the Kumano Kodo at Hongu and Nachisan. There are a number of good eateries in the town but one of the joys was just wandering down laneways and discovering little gems not listed in the usual guides.

Our favorite point of this hotel is the food and the wooden house. The independent wooden house is perfect and cozy, suiting for family trip. With forest surrounding, you can enjoy the good quality of air and there's a river near by that you can enjoy the fun of water. The hot spring opening time is a bit tricky because it closed after 9:00 am and reopen at 14:00. If you only stay for one day you will need to seize your time to enjoy their hot spring. The restaurant use the fresh ingredients to make awesome food. Took a really really good rest here :D

This is a very peaceful little town on the southeast coast of Kii Peninsula. The residents and store clerks are mostly senior citizens but they are polite and pleasant to meet. It’s the gateway to the Nashi area and the famous Kumano Kodo historical trail. You can also rent a bike at the Information Center next to the JR Kii Katsuura Station to quickly circle around town.
