When I mentioned going to Wakayama for an overnight stay, my coworkers all ask if I went to Shirahama for the beach or a hot spring. I didn’t, I went to Wakayama City. It was during Golden Week but the city and main station didn’t feel crowded at all since it’s definitely more out in the countryside and not much of tourist destination within its own prefecture. However, this was just right for us as we wanted a low key trip to somewhere close but new. We mainly spent our first day enjoying the Kishigawa train line, famous for the story of Tama the cat station master. If you like trains, cats, or small local shrines, I would recommend getting a day pass and spending the day visiting the current cat station masters (Nitama and her apprentice Yontama). There are four unique trains with different decor and themes and it was fun riding them and looking at the beautiful countryside of Wakayama from the windows with good weather. The area we stayed around had lots of small local restaurants and we found a delicious Spanish cuisine restaurant with excellent service called Staub Kitchen OLMO.
We didn’t spend much time in Wakayama city, but next time I’d like to visit Wakayama Castle as well as the park and museums around it. It’s a walkable city but also has some buses going towards more popular areas.

Wakayama was never on our list until we heard about Kumano Kodo. It was an underrated city where there were many interesting places to explore. We would recommend doing the Kumano Kodo - Nakahechi route walk for anyone who loves hiking. The minimum of 4 days were required for this route, as we did. We spent 2 days hiking from Takijiri-oji near Tanabe city to Kumano Hongu Taisha. Then, we explored Yunomine Onsen which was one of the oldest onsen town in Japan and Kawayu Onsen where we could dig our own onsen pool on the river bank. We also recommended doing a boat tour down the river to Kumano Hayatama Taisha as it was part of the UNESCO world heritage site. Lastly, to complete the 3 grand shrines, we visited Kumano Nachi Taisha and the Nachi falls, the tallest fall in Japan, on our last day. The logistics were not difficult. We took the Kuroshio train to and from Wakayama and local bus in Hongu area.

Wakayama castle was very good, not only the view from the top of the tower but also the garden and tea room and secret corridor! You can also enter into the museum if you show the Wakayama castle entrance ticket. The zoo is ok for kids but not so much for grown up!

It’s one of the less popular destinations and thus prices are really nice. A lot of fresh fruits and sea is reasonably clean. If you don’t have time to go to Shirahama, Wakayama city is the second best. Isonoura beach has white sand.

This is our first time to Wakayama and we fell in love with it! It’s a quiet town but people are friendly. Easy to drive to various places of interest like Shirahama. We see more locals than foreign tourists in Wakayama and really love the tranquility of this place. I will definitely spend longer time in wakayama if I come back to Osaka again 👍

Wakayama city prioritizes automobiles. Cars are everywhere.
Wakayama city prioritizes automobiles. Cars are everywhere. Bus service is excellent. Walking is unpleasant because of the frequent need to give way to the few cars rolling through 6 lanes of asphalt.
In contrast, that makes the stroll around the castle a particularly nice experience. The gardens around are well maintained, very pretty. Every sunset is a new experience.
If you have a car, then sure, spend a night there, maybe two if you want to spend some time around Wakanoura. But then speed away to where the real magic of Wakayama happens: Koyasan, Kumano Nachi, Kumano Hongu,...
Very convenient location right next to JR Wakayama station. Can catch city bus and taxi right outside of hotel. Clean room and comfortable bed. Smaller than American chain hotel rooms but comparable to a veranda cruise ship cabin without the veranda. Electric kettle, bottled water and tea provided. Hotel has system for room cleaning in which you choose how often cleaning is done. Located next to department store with food, beverage and grocery options. Also many delicious local restaurants are within walking distance.
The hotel location was great. Close to the train station and had food option pretty much next door. Great food options too! The included onsen and sauna facility was amazing and clean. While the room was a little small but this is to be expected for typical hotels in Japan. We were comfortable with our toddler.
Surprised that the public library was next door and had a huge children area. Wish we could have time to spend in there too. Such an aesthetically pleasing library!
The host was really cool and we could tell he is a very welcoming and warm-hearted soul. We appreciated the cleanliness and organization of the place. We really enjoyed the sauna and hot tub that felt brand new. It is also a convenient 10-minute walk to the beach! The host took some memorable pictures of us, which we also really appreciate. This is a special place ran by a genuine, down-to-earth host. Thank you G-Sun for creating a lovely Wakayama experience!
The room was very nice, clean and comfortable. the facilities were super clean and there were free bike rentals which was amazing! Towels were included and there were enough showers.
The only thing was the lack of a communal space but it wasnt too bad. The location was really good (20min walk to Wakayama JR station or theres a bus that takes you there) and there were many restaurants and shops in the area. There is a convenience store right beside the hostel.
Hiroko and Kazu (the owners) are amazing people that were very kind and ready to help. Hiroko even picked me up from the train station! They offered a lot of very helpful information for my stay at Wakayama. I'm very happy to have followed their advice as that made my visit a wonderful one! They speak English, French, and Japanse! Would definitely stay again and would very much recommend staying at this hostel!
Even though check in time stated was up to midnight, staff had no complaints when we checked in after midnight due to a delayed flight. They also allowed us to leave our luggage with them after checking out as we were going away for a day before coming back to Wakayama again. Staff serving breakfast were friendly and nice. Location was great, only 3 mins walk from station.
It was a great place to stay in Wakayama. I was travelling alone with a car to explore Wakayama Prefecture. The hotel did not have a car parking but had lots of nearby car parks which was great. The hotel itself is located in a very centralised area. Walking distance from the Wakayama Castle, and just a few steps away from a main shopping street. Very easy to access.
The hotel was very close to the Wakayama train station. The check-in counter was on the ground floor which was very convenient. The lobby was spacious and grand. The hotel provided a complimentary Japanese newspaper. There were many choices, Japanese curry rice and Western style bread and butter, at the buffet style breakfast.
Very close to the train station. There are many good restaurant around the hotel. Hot Spring was quite confortable. You will have one bottle of water free of charge for one person for one night free of charge. Half size of Ramen was also served in the hotel restaurant as late-night snacks free of charge.
Pleasantly surprised by the amenities in the room. There was a TV by the bathtub, large projector screen (although I didn't use it), and the room was very spacious! The room was decorated with Japanese decor, which was a nice touch
This hotel is new and provides complimentary parking. Rooms are big compared to the average Japanese hotels. Welcome drinks and snacks are also available during check-in. Room service are reasonably priced and value for money.
Friendly staff, all tried to assist us on looking up places, transportations etc….. Breakfast venue and food quality was also very good. The hotel is so close to the Wakayama Castle. We like the surroundings.
Close location to the station. Close to key restaurants. Close the castle. Staff were very helpful. The Onsen facilities were the best we experienced in Japan. Really enjoyed the ice cream after Onsen.
The location is good. Easy access to JR Wakayama and Wakayamashi Station by bus. The staff is very kind. We found two convenience store just a walking distance from hotel.
The location is just next to Wakayama Station. Room is spacious by Japanese standard and very clean. The staff is cordial and my luggage was sent to my room.
