Ryokan i Katsuura

Amazing place and the most beautiful onsen I have ever visited. The location is calm and the view from the room was absolutely stunning. The food was very good but given the standards of the hotel could be even better. Great offer of free coffee, ice cream etc all day. Very good ferry service that is included and frequent. The room was spacious and very nice to stay in. The staff were really great and helpful.

The hotel is on a peninsula, and can be reached either by a hotel ferry from the main harbour, or a set of shuttle busses they run on demand and from the car park (which is about 1km from the hotel). It is very easy to reach either by car or public transport - it’s a 5 moon walk from the station or bus stop to the jetty where the ferry goes from. There alway seemed to be at least one English speaking staff member at reception, so we had not trouble with communications. Food was fantastic - though the buffet is mostly the same from day to day, and so despite having plenty of choices might get a little sameish during a long stay (perfectly fine during our two-night stay). The two sea cave onsen baths were a lot of fun. Both have partitions down the middle with nude gender segregated bathing on either side. Yukata and slippers are provided - the slippers were plenty big enough for our enormous western feet. Our room was a Japanese style family room, and worked well with five of us. A lovely view over the harbour and a mix of Japanese and western style chairs to sit on. There is a small convenience store in the hotel. We drove in a hire car - there always seemed to be people waiting at the car park to shuttle us the 5 min to the hotel.

Great Japanese style room of good size. So close to the station. The dinner meal was spectacular. Our best meal while in Japan. A great place to finish walking the Kumono Kodo trail.

The onsens (one open air) were beautiful. The personal was 100% invested on our wellbeing. The chef, food quality and presentation were above average! Breathtaking view of the Pacific from the room’s windows.”

Hotel sits facing the sea with an superb view and sound of the waves from the room. Location is good with lots of restaurants and grocery stores within short driving distance.
