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,...
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 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.
We had a very enjoyable time here. My husband and I made use of the lovely area downstairs which turns into a small quiet bar at night. We had the best local Gin here which we ended up ordering on Amazon Japan to our last hotel to take home. Very cool design which I loved! Our teenage girl enjoyed the extra space downstairs for some computer time. A public bath next door which gave us an amazing local experience.
The room was spacious and all facilities were immaculate. There are lots of nice details that make it feel like home. The hosts are fabulous and eager to share information about getting around. They both speak English quite well. I really appreciated the ride to and from the train station. The front door locks securely. Use of bicycles was nice too. It’s not far from Wakayama Castle.
The interior design of the hotel is sleek, yet simple, it wasn't garish like I would expect a higher quality hotel to be. The room had everything from dimmable lights, fridge, a great view of the city, and the tv has access to most of the common streaming applications. There's not anything I can think of missing from my stay, the ideal place.
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.
The breakfast has a variety of japanese and western dishes. Service is efficient and friendly.
The amenities in the onsen are great. Access to the female onsen requires a passcode which is changed daily.
The free ice pops seem very popular with guests.
The laundry works well and readily available.
My room was superbly clean. The staff used to change towels every day. As for breakfast, it included Japanese dishes and I was free to choose them and their portions. Finally, the hotel is quite close to the central station of the city. It was very convenient to get to various destinations.
The public bath was beautiful and very relaxing. The staff were super friendly and accommodating and spoke good English. There was free soba at night and free icy poles for after bathing.
Excellent location, 5 mins walk from JR Wakayama Station and 15 mins walk from the castle.
Excellent breakfast with plenty of variety. The castle view was amazing. The location was great since we could not get lost.
Early checkin was 2:00 pm and late checkout was 11:00 am, far better than other places we stayed at during our 3 week vacation in Japan.
I especially loved the wonderful ocean views, and the enchanting atmosphere: an exciting immersion in Japanese culture (from the furnishings, traditional clothing, food...). Special thanks to the staff for their extreme care, attention, and courtesy.
The hotel is in a great location with stunning sunset views over the marina. We visited the fish market beside the hotel and enjoyed a fresh seafood bbq beside the ocean and the tuna filleting show was fun to watch.
Great location where you can see the river on your bed, walkable distance to multiple metro stations.
Like the vibe in this place, chill and comfortable while you can feel the vitality of the city.
The view of Wakayama Castle from our room was really nice. The buffet breakfast had a nice mix of Japanese and Western food. The location being so close to the castle grounds was very convenient.
Direct access from Wakayama station, very friendly and helpful staff who willgo out of their way to make your stay exceptional, clean and tidy interior, cozy rooftop bar
