As soon as we arrived at the hotel and tried to take a photo at the entrance, a staff member kindly helped us and took a great picture with the scenery. While waiting at the front desk, there were Halloween decorations and costumes, and they happily let us dress up together and took photos for us. However, there weren’t many options for the welcome drinks, so I wish there had been a few more choices. The room was also clean. The dinner offered a wide variety of delicious local and seasonal dishes, and we were able to enjoy plenty of food. In particular, the fresh bluefin tuna and sea bream sashimi were excellent; the sushi rice was tasty, the toppings were generous in size, and even the chawanmushi was served piping hot and felt truly authentic. There was also a great selection of desserts that tasted wonderful, but I was too full to try many of them—next time I’d like to come back hungry enough to enjoy everything without regrets. Above all, when the food is this good, it really makes you want to visit again.

Being able to enjoy a variety of alcoholic drinks during dinner was amazing! I was especially happy to have a Nagisa Beer server. The Room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I also appreciated the free massage chair. There are many stairs to the large public bath, and even more to the panoramic open-air bath. It might be tough for elderly guests. However, the view and the hot spring water are wonderful, so I definitely recommend going.

This time, I found a great Plan on the Koyu website and made a Reservation right away. It was my first time staying in a Room with an Onsen, and being able to soak whenever I wanted while looking out at the ocean was amazing! The location is excellent—Shirarahama Beach is just a short walk away. (The way back is uphill, though...) We enjoyed both the beach and the pool.

It was a very satisfying trip to Shirahama. This Accommodation is in an excellent location, close to Shirarahama Beach. The Room was thoroughly cleaned, and we were very satisfied. We love Onsen, so we were happy with the large public bath here. The food was delicious as well. All the staff were attentive and helpful—thank you very much. It was an Accommodation that exceeded its price. We were also blessed with good weather and could relax at our leisure. It’s an Accommodation that makes us want to come again.

I had stayed here back when it was a Kanpo no Yado, but I didn’t remember much, so this was essentially a new visit for me. It was great. There was an all-you-can-drink option in the lounge, the meals were satisfying, and the hot springs were excellent. The room, including the sink area and toilet, was clean and comfortable. There is no individual air conditioning in each room; the entire building uses a centralized system, which might be an issue for guests who are extremely sensitive to heat or cold. It wasn’t a problem for me.

All the staff were very kind. My family of three stayed in the Room “Engetsu,” and it was spacious enough. The bath and dining area were on the same floor, so access was excellent. The bath was fully stocked—not only shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, but also facial cleanser, makeup remover, toner, and lotion—and the water had a wonderfully silky feel. The meals were outstanding as well. We enjoyed a relaxing sea bream feast in our Room. They even included beer as a complimentary service, and we were truly impressed by their thoughtful attention to detail. We had breakfast in the dining area; there was a great variety of side dishes, and everything was delicious too. When I visit Shirahama again, I would definitely like to stay at Akariya again.

The service was courteous and attentive, including a cart pickup—truly comparable to a first-class Hotel. The Room was also thoroughly cleaned and well maintained. The morning scenery around the lodge was magical, and it was a wonderful escape from everyday life. We were very satisfied and look forward to staying again.

I stayed at your Accommodation in Kinosaki before, and this time I stayed in Shirahama. The Room was spacious, and the children were very happy. At dinner, a staff member kindly offered to take a family photo for us, and I truly appreciated the thoughtful gesture. I would love to visit again if I have the opportunity.

I have stayed here many times. The meals are delicious with a wide variety, and there are plenty of staff who provide attentive service. The baths, footbath, and lobby are spacious, so you can relax at your leisure. I would like to stay here again.

This was my second stay this year because I particularly enjoyed the food last time. Originally a bank's retreat, the compact front desk and building layout reflect its history. There is no greeting upon arrival, luggage assistance, or farewell service (you carry your luggage to the third-floor front desk yourself and leave on your own). However, I appreciate the stunning ocean view from the hilltop location and the cozy atmosphere with only 10 rooms. The Onsen features a 78-degree natural hot spring source, with a slightly small but pleasant open-air bath and high-quality massage chairs. This time, I stayed in a Western-style room near the elevator that was added later; it was spacious, clean, and had comfortable beds. The only downside was that the sink and toilet were adjacent without separation—though it did provide an open feel upon reflection. Dinner could only be enjoyed at the restaurant (unlike last time when in-room dining allowed for more relaxation), which was disappointing as wearing loungewear is not permitted—I would have preferred to dine in a relaxed atmosphere in loungewear. Starting February next year, dinner times will shift to two seatings; however, I hope they maintain flexibility like now where you can choose every 30 minutes. The food met expectations—delicious despite not using particularly expensive ingredients—with intricate sauces and beautiful presentation that truly felt like fine cuisine. Breakfast also offered plenty of variety and quality. Before dinner at the lounge, I ordered Royal Milk Tea which was so delicious that I ordered it again in the morning while enjoying an elegant atmosphere with ocean views through large windows. A staff member kindly offered to take my photo during this time while explaining distant scenery details—a friendly gesture that elevated my impression of this accommodation’s overall service level. Its convenient distance from Osaka makes me want to visit again!

We stayed here to enjoy swimming at Shirarahama Beach. Before check-in, they let us use the changing room and paid lockers, and we reached Shirarahama Beach in just a few minutes on foot. They also have an air pump for float rings, of course. After swimming, we could rinse off the sand with the outdoor warm-water shower and then head straight to the Onsen, which was great. Both the Room and the Facility were clean, and there were free drinks available throughout the property—we enjoyed them after bathing and while waiting for the elevator. The plum soda was delicious. The buffet had a wide variety of options and everything was tasty. It was also nice that freshly cooked steak and tempura were brought directly to our table. Since our buffet time slot was later, we were able to go see the sunset at Engetsuto Island before dinner. Even after checkout, they offered parking for 1,000 yen, and told us we could use the paid lockers—and even use the baths after 2:00 PM—so it was wonderful to be able to enjoy an Onsen after coming back from the beach before heading home. If you’re going swimming at the beach, this place is absolutely “Musashi”! It was that good. All of the staff were kind, and it made for a truly great trip. Thank you very much.

I’m glad I chose this hotel for my first trip to Wakayama. For this price, I was very satisfied with both breakfast and dinner. I also enjoyed using the lounge, and the snacks were delicious. I will definitely stay at Mercure again on my next trip. Thank you for the wonderful service.

The room was very clean. In particular, the living room was spacious with no clutter, so my grandchild could run around freely. We would like to stay again next time.

This was our third stay, and the free-flowing Onsen with no added water is outstanding. One of the highlights is being able to relax together as a couple in the private bath. Breakfast was delicious both to look at and to eat, and we were completely full. The parking lot is spacious, the location is great, and we love the views from the Room—Shirarahama Beach, sunsets, and more. We’d like to visit again when we can find the time.

The view from the open-air bath is amazing. I was able to relax in the free-flowing Onsen. The meals were very delicious and satisfying. Since each dish is served individually, I could enjoy my meal at a leisurely pace. I was curious about something that looked like a red bridge in the distance from the dining area, but it seems to be part of an airport facility. The Room is spacious and comes with a massage chair and an open-air pot bath, which also made me very satisfied. There are many Reviews saying the building is old, but does that cause any inconvenience? It didn’t bother me at all. The staff were very kind and soothing. Please let me stay again.

We’ve been staying here every year—this year makes it about 10 years. It’s a Hotel where both children and adults can relax, just as always. The food is always so delicious it amazes us, and it’s truly enjoyable! We’ll be back again next year with our whole family!

Before check-in on the first day, we went to Shirarahama Beach. On the second day, we visited Adventure World. On the third day, after checking out, we went to Sandanbeki Cliff, had lunch at Toretore Market, and then headed home. It was a very fulfilling and enjoyable trip. The dinners on the first and second nights were different, so we never got tired of them and enjoyed everything—delicious throughout. The abalone was outstanding! We traveled as three families, and our grandchild was thrilled to be able to use the pool four times over two days—it was so much fun. It was truly wonderful. The café coffee was very good as well; we used it both days.

We stayed as a family of five. We were very satisfied. The service was excellent. We would like to stay again.

The service is excellent, and the hot spring water quality is wonderful—maybe even better than Saki-no-Yu. The Room is spacious and comfortable, and the Accommodation fee is unbelievably cheap! There are quite a few things you need to do yourself, but if you have time and think, “It’s tiring to just come for a quick swim and go home—maybe we’ll stay the night instead,” this place will be perfect for you. In times like these with the economy so bad, this might be the only place where you can feel like you’re traveling at such a low price. I’ll definitely come again!

This was my first stay here, and I was very satisfied. The hot spring temperature was just right for me—comfortably warm enough that I could soak for a long time. Perhaps because it was the weekend after Silver Week, it wasn’t crowded, so I could relax and fully enjoy the hot springs. The view from the room was also great. I’d like to stay here regularly. Thank you again, and I look forward to visiting next time.
