“The staff. They were amazing. The history of the place, the location and the sights. I didn't get to try the onsen but I hear it's amazing. Kii Katsuura and Hotel Urashima was one of the best parts of my trip.”

“I’m here in japan for 2 months, 32 hotels booked and this one is the best of all time, it’s just so magical, the staff are so friendly and the shuttle bus is every 20 minutes, they’re so helpful, the hotel is so big that it needs a whole day trip...”

Zhang

China

“The onsen facilities are good and offer a variety of choices. However, the hygiene standards were not very satisfactory, and the hot spring water did not appear clean — there were visible impurities and even strands of hair in the water.”

“The cave onsen’s were amazing! Beautiful location. Buffet’s were very good, get the meal plan because no restaurants are close”
