Hotel Kawakyu

Wakayama Prefecture／Nanki Shirahama
¥56,000～
Dinner and Breakfast included ; 2 peopleTax included¥50,400〜
(USD 315.90)

A palace Hotel with all ocean view suites standing on the cape of Nanki Shirahama.

In Nanki Shirahama, there is an architectural structure that stands out as if it were cut out from its surroundings. Hotel Kawakyu. A singular work that eschews similar styles and perfects its own unique world. That is why there exists a space that can never be experienced elsewhere.

  • A truly royal buffet.

    We stayed one night in the Modern Japanese Suite for our 2-year-old child’s birthday.The building, service quality, and food were all outstanding.Just as rumored, the impressive architecture, interiors, and many artworks felt extraordinary and were a joy to take in.The Room was also wonderful—the bay view was beautiful, and the clean, simple design made it very comfortable.The bath area was very spacious, with lounge chairs throughout where you could relax. Drinks were available inside as well, making it a bath you could happily stay in for hours. The changing room was kept clean too, with staff frequently replacing towels.In particular, the open-air bath at the large public bath on the first floor was surrounded by nature and truly excellent.And true to its name “King’s Buffet,” the selection was abundant and everything was delicious. The dinner steak and the seafood rice bowl at breakfast were of a quality you wouldn’t expect from a buffet—we were extremely satisfied.Because it was our child’s birthday, they took commemorative photos in the lobby at check-in and gave us printed photos at check-out. We were deeply impressed by their hospitality as well.It was a truly wonderful one-night stay. This is a Hotel we would definitely love to stay at again. Thank you very much.

  • We had a truly wonde...

    We had a truly wonderful holiday. Starting with the in-house history tour, we felt thoughtful hospitality in every detail.Among the heartfelt dishes, the King’s melon juice, French toast, black curry, and Kishu plum juice were all outstanding.The Onsen provided towels, and the relaxing space where we could unwind while looking outside was a very happy moment for us as well.Thank you for such a wonderful experience unlike any other Hotel.
