It was a three-generation trip with my parents, myself, and my son. The buffet-style meals allowed each of us to eat and drink what we liked, and although there were many guests due to the summer holidays, we were still able to fully enjoy the Onsen in the spacious large public bath. However, the weather wasn’t great on both days of our trip, so it was disappointing that we couldn’t go sightseeing in Kushimoto or do any stargazing.

This villa offers an incredible and luxurious space that is hard to believe exists in Japan. The rooms and amenities are of the highest quality, allowing you to enjoy a completely comfortable and indulgent stay. The service is exceptional, with the manager providing attentive guidance and promptly addressing any requests with great care. The bath and sauna are truly special. With features like a standing cold plunge pool and a meticulously designed relaxation room, you can experience ultimate relaxation—just be careful not to fall asleep! The facilities exude elegance, immersing you in an extraordinary atmosphere that feels otherworldly. Meals feature local ingredients from Wakayama, carefully selected daily from the market by the head chef who prepares them artistically and serves them on stylish tableware. The evening course was absolutely delicious and left us completely satisfied, while breakfast was equally delightful as we enjoyed it overlooking the seaside—a truly luxurious experience. It was a thoroughly satisfying trip—thank you very much!

Everyone was incredibly kind and took great care of us. My grandchild ate too much pineapple we had brought with us, and their tongue started hurting, which caused quite a commotion. I thought drinking milk might help, so I asked if there was any, but there wasn’t. Since we had been drinking, we couldn’t go out to buy anything and were about to give up, but they kindly went out of their way to buy pudding and yogurt for us. We were truly grateful. Thanks to that, my grandchild’s pain seemed to ease and they calmed down. It’s rare to find a place that would do this much for guests. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back.

Breakfast included bread, and you could also choose a Japanese buffet. The Room was spacious and clean, which was great.\nIt also comes with an Onsen.\nHowever, there are no convenience stores nearby.\nThere were vending machines, though.\nThere is no front desk staff, so everything is self-service.\nIt was quiet and very nice.

From the hostess’s warm welcome to the stunning third-floor Room and terrace with exceptional views. The Room has windows on three sides. Open the door and you’re greeted by a view of Cape Shionomisaki. A terrace where you can enjoy both sunset and sunrise. Every dish was delicious—we ordered two servings each of the meat course and the fish course, and ended up overeating. I was a bit surprised that access to the Room was via an outdoor staircase I hadn’t expected, but once you come down the stairs, Cape Shionomisaki is right in front of you. If it had been raining, getting around might have been tough, but luckily the rain from the previous day had cleared, temperatures rose, and my mood soared too. The bath is not an Onsen, but while it shows its age, it was clean and felt well maintained. Another thing I loved was the “duvet cover.” It felt so nice that I want to find one for home—I wish I’d asked what brand it was. The Room itself was so comfortable, and it was great to just zone out while gently swaying in the hammock.

As the title says, it was a great Hotel. I rated it 4 because there was no bathtub, but the shower was refreshing and left me feeling clean. If this Hotel is available on future trips, I will choose it without hesitation. Thank you.
