Best hotels & accommodations in Wakayama
This is one of the best hotel in Wakayama City - i mean in the city area. The best is, you can still enjoy a hot spring in a city hotel with such a reasonable price in city district. Wonderful. Not to mention its best location , nearby the JR Wakayama station.
Rooms are well equipped n spacious Japanese standards. The decor is slightly dated with a digital alarm clock from the late 90s by your bed and no iPhone pods.

Rooms are well equipped n spacious Japanese standards. The decor is slightly dated with a digital alarm clock from the late 90s by your bed and no iPhone pods. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. If you are too tired, the shopping centre under the hotel has a western bistro, Japanese restaurant and Chinese restaurant (which I had not tried any since there are local restaurants just around the corner). However, we did pop into the Family Mart for snacks and drinks since the hotel had environmentally friendly policy of not providing guests with bottled water. The hotel is about a 25 min walk from Wakayama Train Station but buses frequent a stop (in front of the castle) just opposite. It's a perfect location for visiting the Wakayama Castle. If you are planning to take any trains from Wakayama City. This hotel is conveniently located 10 min walk away from there. For example, we took the Mendetai Train (pretty sea bream train) to the quiet seaside town, Kada.
Location is not difficult to reach, route 42 and 121 bus from Wakayama city. Free coupon for nice hot spring nearby. Staff is helpful with English speaking. Room is large and tidy, with balcony for nice seaview. Few choices of Resturants inside hotel, and more choices outside. Nearby fish market and fruit market with Tuna cutting show.
The Wakayama Hotel Granvia is a nice hotel. The rooms are upscale "business" hotel style, in Japanese terms, meaning they are not 5-star but more than adequate for the business traveller.

The Wakayama Hotel Granvia is a nice hotel. The rooms are upscale "business" hotel style, in Japanese terms, meaning they are not 5-star but more than adequate for the business traveller. One can reserved through discount services, making it an excellent value, and the staff have been especially helpful and friendly, and remembered me from my prior stay. We did communicate in Japanese, but their courteous and professional demeanor suggests they are probably well-trained to interact with guests in English too. I gave the facilities a 4 instead of a 5 because their work station was not set up to make digital pdf's from my documents, only hard copy prints. The lobby is surprisingly sparse for such a large space, but there are numerous coffee shops nearby, either the one just off the lobby or next door accessible by connecting door to the departments store complex. It is located about as close as you're going to get to the train station without being on top of it.
The price for one night is not high but the hotel is perfect. Within a few minutes walk from Wakayama JR station. The room is huge compared to normal Japanese hotel. Breakfast is even included in the room rate. It is a buffet style with a variety of food to be chosen. All staff we met are polite and nice. I would definitely recommend this to any travellers looking for ...

A few things one should know before going to Kada. The hotel will pick you up from the Kada Train Station which is at the end of the train line. Do not confuse this with the Wakayama or Wakayama Shi stations. The town of Kada is a small fishing port. I assume it gets busy with tourists in the summer but when we went in late October, the town was very quiet. As in, virt...
A few things one should know before going to Kada. The hotel will pick you up from the Kada Train Station which is at the end of the train line. Do not confuse this with the Wakayama or Wakayama Shi stations. The town of Kada is a small fishing port. I assume it gets busy with tourists in the summer but when we went in late October, the town was very quiet. As in, virtually no restaurants open. Unless you have booked the half board with the hotel you are pretty much on your own. We ended up taking the train up 4 stations a finding a convenience store that had prepackaged meals and taking them back. We had a 3 person Japanese ocean view room which was beautiful. Open the blinds and the ocean is right there. The open air on sen is also ocean front and a great spot to relax. The Japanese rooms look cool but after sitting on the floor and getting up and down, it does wear on the bones a bit. Overall a great place to take a break.
Its location was the primary reason I chose this hotel - the main train station (which goes to the airport via one simple transfer) is walking distance (save on bus fares!) and Wakayama Castle is still a walkable distance. If you get the top floors, the views you get of the city are pleasant. Our double room was spacious and there wasn't any smoking smell. The staff ca...

If you get the top floors, the views you get of the city are pleasant. Our double room was spacious and there wasn't any smoking smell. The staff can speak English and will help you with bus options to areas you plan to visit. Kimiidera Temple, Kishu Toshogu Shrine, and Wakayama Marina City are all accessible via one-ride bus from the train station, which is walkable from the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel. Plus, breakfast is always included!
The hotel is quite the walking distance from the train station, approx 25-30mins walk, but you will be walking in a straight path so no worries of getting lost.

Surprising Onsen in Wakayama. Love their Excellent service and surprising they provide all necessities for us from toothbrush, facial product to Nail polish products. Love their open air onsen refreshing and comfortable. However the resort is location out of the town, ideal for those who have car no public transport.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was walking distance to the Castle and a short bus ride from the train station. It was clean, well equiped. Everything worked as we expected. I like stay in APA Hotel Wakayama and will come again.
About 5 minutes from the Wakayama Train Station, so if you are going to Kyoto, it's super convenient. The hotel is older and it shows. But the hotel room was still fairly clean. They give you a pair of pajamas you can wear, but I didn't because they were quite thick. The bathroom is set up that you bathe right on the floor OR there is a tub but the showerhead doesn...
About 5 minutes from the Wakayama Train Station, so if you are going to Kyoto, it's super convenient. The hotel is older and it shows. But the hotel room was still fairly clean. They give you a pair of pajamas you can wear, but I didn't because they were quite thick. The bathroom is set up that you bathe right on the floor OR there is a tub but the showerhead doesn't point in that direction. So either get the floor wet, or try to hold the showerhead to bathe in the bathtub to keep everything dry. Front desk called me a taxi which was super nice. Breakfast had some fish and other Japanese looking things that I tried. It did feel a bit like stepping back into the 70s.
I stayed in Kancho Hot Spring Hotel for 6 nights on my own, which is very unusual.

I stayed in Kancho Hot Spring Hotel for 6 nights on my own, which is very unusual. It’s quite challenging for the hotel, especially the catering staff, as I would surely get bored with the food and facilities. However, they didn’t disappoint me, instead they provided superb hospitality to me, a loner. The environment was quiet and accessible. I was taken care well with the least disturbance. The staff were friendly and tried hard to communicate with me to make me feel at home. What impressed me most was the fact that they prepared different meals for me every day, lest I would be bored. I was touched when I saw my name on the dinner food list starting from the third day of my stay. They made dishes just for me every day! They even prepared a western breakfast with bread and jam and a best ever corn soup for me! I have to thank everyone at Kancho for giving me such a wonderful vacation during the worst time of my life. You did make a different! I highly recommend Kancho to you!
The hotel stands in a good position: few minutes far from the Wakayamashi station, in a quiet area, with a combini just on the way from the station. The Wakayama castle was also visible from my room and it takes about a 10-minutes walk to get there. The room was fine, even though rather small, and not completely soundproof, hence it would be most suitable for a short...
The hotel stands in a good position: few minutes far from the Wakayamashi station, in a quiet area, with a combini just on the way from the station. The Wakayama castle was also visible from my room and it takes about a 10-minutes walk to get there. The room was fine, even though rather small, and not completely soundproof, hence it would be most suitable for a short stay. Toiletteries and many other supplies can be found at the reception, in addition to the essentials already in the room. The free breakfast was rather good: it is a Japanese-style breakfast, so no cakes or buscuits (but there were coffee, juices, yogurt and some cereals). However, it seemed home-made, thus I really enjoyed it and I did not miss the European-style breakfast at all. Beware: the hotel did not have (or at least, I did not see) its name translated in English/romaji, so it was kind of a guess that it was the right place, but Google map was on point and the Fuji picture helped.
Except a bit far from downtown, it is very clean and luxurious. The staff also upgraded us to the best room with good facilities.
first of all, Hiroko-san and and her husband are so nice! She whatsapped me few days before the trip to confirm on our arrival there. She also picked us up from JR Wakayama Station. The room is clean, big, and nice. It is also really near to Wakayama Castle and Korakuen.
If you're staying in Wakayama, stay here. It is a hostel with dorm rooms, but it was immaculately clean, quiet and a great night's sleep. The hosts are gracious and more than willing to help in any way they can. The rough design of the hostel is intentional and the reception area is full of stylish curiosities.

If you're staying in Wakayama, stay here. It is a hostel with dorm rooms, but it was immaculately clean, quiet and a great night's sleep. The hosts are gracious and more than willing to help in any way they can. The rough design of the hostel is intentional and the reception area is full of stylish curiosities. There are ambitious designs for shared workspace as well as a rooftop garden area. We were impressed not only with Rico, but also with the friendliness of the city and of course, the world-renown Chuka-soba (ramen). We made a point of returning here to stay one more night during our stay in Wakayama Prefecture after hiking the Kohechi section of the UNESCO designated Kumano Kodo trail.
Quiet and comfortable room! Very convenient as you just need to walk less than 5 minutes to the JR Wakayama station and bus station. The staff are beautiful and police.
Such a cozy house with awesome host, we arrived quite late like 12am and he waited for us till we got in. We've got what we need in the house, clean and tidy!
Owner speaks enough English. He was helpful and thoughtful to prepare extra duvet in event I needed it. My favourite green tea is available for free! Public bus 25, 42 from JR Wakayama Station brings you near, if walking isn’t preferred.
Reakky enjoyed the stay with my wife. It is located near castle and very conveninet to go to governmental offices. Restaurants are also availabe near thie area. Staff hospitality is excellent.One of very recommendable hotel in the cental paprt of Wakayama City.
I was the only guest staying at that night. The host owns a cafe outside the guesthouse. He has two puppies which makes the guesthouse a bit smelly. The guesthouse is old fashion, it's the traditional japanese guesthouse. Very close to the rail station, just 2 mins walk, and also close to the beach if you like seeing sunset.
the owners drived us from the JR Wakayama to the guest house on the first day and drived us from guest house to the kuroshino market on the next day early morning. thank you so much
We have a wonderful stay at Tsukiji hostel! The host gave us a kindly reception, and told us many tour information. The hostel has many store near by, including Family Mart and Donkey supermarket. The facility is nice and clean, and the hot water is very strong and easy to use. We highly recommend this hostel at Wakayama!!
All staffs are extremely friendly and helpful. Clean. Good sea view in canteen. We enjoy watching firework at dinner time in hotel. Some recommendation: no refrigerator, just one hair dryer in share bath room but not in room. Noted we share toilet but an individual washing sink would be better in each room. My room is too small for 3 beds.
a bit far from the station (500m), quite hot to walk under the sun suring summer. staff cannot speak english. it's more like a overnight hotel for locals or couples to spend a few hours. It was a karaoke room before so the sound system is somewhat like those in karaoke. there is a bath tub with lights and TV on top.
We got there much later than the time Hinna Hotel told us. After a quick check in procedure, we had an amazing dinner with poetry plate presentation. Thanks for friendly staffs let us get a wonderful experience.
It is quite near Wakayama Jr Train station , new hotel and clean . Cost saving And breakfast is enough .Internet speed is ok., Even no public bath . If we visit Wakayama , This is a budget first choice hotel.
Very big room with a very reasonable price. Very well-equipped room.
We live in Ground Floor, we concern about security and my wife cannot sleep. The facility is terrible bad, the toilet and bathroom is not like a star hotel, and no wifi provide. I will not live there again.
Need psychological preparation of the place, amenities, and facilities before hand, needs actual image of the property, no delusion from the websites, such as the capsule style of "room", not "bunk beds" , no hands towels after washings! No personal lockers for personal things, such as sneakers, handbags, etc. Or at least a big locker's room for storage if necessary!...

No personal lockers for personal things, such as sneakers, handbags, etc. Or at least a big locker's room for storage if necessary! Sense of oil burning from the heating system made people felt unsafe to have sound sleep, not sure if there is error or fire would happen! Mixed dorm even worse for single woman, only good for family style! No tourists information accessible at site, the reception area, area is cold unless asked to turn on the heater, however, the manager tries his best, maybe he needs support or resources too from Agoda!
Cheapest hotels in Wakayama
First Cabin is a great place to stay on a budget. I would definitely recommend spending the extra money to get the First Class or Business or whatever the top rank is - almost feels like you actually have a room, rather than just a bed. First Cabin is a funny place - lots of amenities, a very nice bathroom area, almost like you're actually at a spa. But in the cabin i...
First Cabin is a great place to stay on a budget. I would definitely recommend spending the extra money to get the First Class or Business or whatever the top rank is - almost feels like you actually have a room, rather than just a bed. First Cabin is a funny place - lots of amenities, a very nice bathroom area, almost like you're actually at a spa. But in the cabin itself, you're hearing all the noise of everyone's snoring, everyone's alarm clocks, and the lights from the corridor (or from buttons inside the cabin) prevent it from ever being properly dark enough to have an easier time getting to sleep. Also, while the Wakayama Station location has a nice Japanese bath, and that's a nice amenity, there are no private shower stalls! I really would have liked to shower in the morning in private, rather than doing it out in the open among other naked dudes. But the location was good. Located right near the station and the main dept stores & only 25 min walk to the castle and museums.

The hotel is about a 25 min walk from Wakayama Train Station but buses frequent a stop (in front of the castle) just opposite. It's a perfect location for visiting the Wakayama Castle. If you are planning to take any trains from Wakayama City. This hotel is conveniently located 10 min walk away from there. For example, we took the Mendetai Train (pretty sea bream train) to the quiet seaside town, Kada.
Location is not difficult to reach, route 42 and 121 bus from Wakayama city. Free coupon for nice hot spring nearby. Staff is helpful with English speaking. Room is large and tidy, with balcony for nice seaview. Few choices of Resturants inside hotel, and more choices outside. Nearby fish market and fruit market with Tuna cutting show.
The Wakayama Hotel Granvia is a nice hotel. The rooms are upscale "business" hotel style, in Japanese terms, meaning they are not 5-star but more than adequate for the business traveller. One can reserved through discount services, making it an excellent value, and the staff have been especially helpful and friendly, and remembered me from my prior stay. We did commun...
The Wakayama Hotel Granvia is a nice hotel. The rooms are upscale "business" hotel style, in Japanese terms, meaning they are not 5-star but more than adequate for the business traveller. One can reserved through discount services, making it an excellent value, and the staff have been especially helpful and friendly, and remembered me from my prior stay. We did communicate in Japanese, but their courteous and professional demeanor suggests they are probably well-trained to interact with guests in English too. I gave the facilities a 4 instead of a 5 because their work station was not set up to make digital pdf's from my documents, only hard copy prints. The lobby is surprisingly sparse for such a large space, but there are numerous coffee shops nearby, either the one just off the lobby or next door accessible by connecting door to the departments store complex. It is located about as close as you're going to get to the train station without being on top of it.
I stayed in Kancho Hot Spring Hotel for 6 nights on my own, which is very unusual. It’s quite challenging for the hotel, especially the catering staff, as I would surely get bored with the food and facilities.

I stayed in Kancho Hot Spring Hotel for 6 nights on my own, which is very unusual. It’s quite challenging for the hotel, especially the catering staff, as I would surely get bored with the food and facilities. However, they didn’t disappoint me, instead they provided superb hospitality to me, a loner. The environment was quiet and accessible. I was taken care well with the least disturbance. The staff were friendly and tried hard to communicate with me to make me feel at home. What impressed me most was the fact that they prepared different meals for me every day, lest I would be bored. I was touched when I saw my name on the dinner food list starting from the third day of my stay. They made dishes just for me every day! They even prepared a western breakfast with bread and jam and a best ever corn soup for me! I have to thank everyone at Kancho for giving me such a wonderful vacation during the worst time of my life. You did make a different! I highly recommend Kancho to you!

Traveler impressions of Wakayama
There are many hot spring resort at Shirahama beach. You can access wakayama easily with Kuroshima express train from Osaka.
Its a nice place to have relaxation with good view of the beach.
There is not many attraction in Wakayama City so you better go to the country side for hot spring and site seeing.
Food is excellent
If you have chance to visit Osaka and you got a few extra day. Why not place a visit to the Wakayama region.
It is the place that full of historical sightseeing point. Such as Kumano hiking road, wakayama castle, Nacho temple, shirahama beach and lot of hot spa. Nature environment in here is totally different from the busy osaka
Driving to Koyasan from kyoto is the best experience in this trip, we stayed for one night in Eiko temple.
A very interesting place to visit. Take your time to visit the monasteries, temples, museum and make a hike on the pilgrims trail in the hills around the village
a city nearby the sea, so you can enjoy many seafood freshly. and price will be reasonable. and the scenery is beautiful.
Travel by JR is very convenient and the local food are very delicious together with a taste which is unlike city life.
The city is only an hour drive from the international airport. There are many hotels within the city centre, where close to the main attraction - Wakayama Castle.
There are many wonderful restaurants around the city, many with carparking. The city is also close to other town and city nearby with great landscape.
A relax place good for every people who bear stress during work. The only bad thing here is the people doesn't know English so that we better to learn some Japanese before coming to Japan.
The fish market Tolae Tolae is fantastic to see with nice view of the beach and the amusement park is good to try.
Local food variety is good to try on.
If you want better quality yukata than those sold in souvenir shops, check out the collection at Kintetsu.
There, you can choose better designs and material, do your fitting and buy all the other things that come with wearing a Yukata. Japan has a reputation for being expensive but - surprise! - it doesn't have to be. Food from smaller shops, convenience stores and food stalls in groceries are very much affordable. Onagiri costs $1.05; buy two and you get a heavy breakfast. You'll want to try the prize-winning ramen (said to be the best in Japan) at Ide Shoten, in the city center. A bowl of ramen costs $6, which is a steal, given the taste and experience. The public transport system is very efficient and clean, there is no need to hire a taxi. If you visit Wakayama Castle, drop by Coffee Moca, a cake house by one of the castle gates. Wonderful spot for watching the afternoon amble by and delectable desserts are served at the shop! Wakayama has its own hot spring baths (onsen), just ask which hotels have it. The onsen are open for non-hotel guests, 'though you have to pay anywhere from $6 to $10 to access the bath.
A quiet, relaxing city, main attraction being the Wakayama castle and nice food (even the local favor instant noodle).
visit the tourist information center to get a copy of the local map. The city is easily accessible by train from Osaka and Shin Osaka.
For access to Kansai International Airport one need to transfer at Hineno Station.
Although you need to take at least an hour train to there from the airport. It is still worth to go if you like quiet and peace environment.
Nice quiet town compare to Osaka . Only an hour from namba station,Osaka . People are very friendly .
If you want to go there , check for transportation to the hotel or rent a car. Fruits and foods are good.
The area have many rural area, for Hill Hiking, Hot-Spring, Sightseeing, founding Historical, main theme park, Having seafood, Sashimi.
Good for living, due to not a busy city. You can enjoy cycling, joying, running, do exercise, and pick-up train, JR to Osaka for work. The air is very good, environment is wonderful, but you would not get big shopping mall for shopping, night live is not available in here
The city is a little isolated from tourist attractions. There is the castle but my hotel booking was based on Kumano Kodo trail access.
The trail's Takijiri Oji start point is an approximately 1 hour train trip to Kii Tanabe before an additional 45 mins bus ride to Takijiri Oji.
Besides wakayama city, a place call kada is great fit fishing ( out by boat) and if course, u should go to a shirahama too for great spa n excellent natural in caves n rocks n sea views

More about Wakayama
Wakayama is a great base for the exploring traveler as much of what there is to see is found outside this prefecture capital. The city itself does have the temple of Kimiidera which hosts Japan’s largest wooden Buddha, but it is the mountains that hold the greatest treasures here. The Kumano-Kodo is here, and this is a popular pilgrimage route for Buddhists visiting sacred shrines and temples. The sacred Koya-san is to the east of the city and is conveniently accessible as trains connect to the mountain’s cable car train. Lovers of onsen can visit Ryujin for its favorite hot springs and scenic beauty, and further south from here is Hongu and the sacred shrine of Hongu-taisha. A riverboat tour in this area is well worth the time for the waterfalls and dramatic rock formations. Shirahama provides an excellent beach option, and Kushimoto is where snorkeling and diving can be enjoyed at Marine Park. Nachi Falls, Japan’s tallest waterfall, is located in Nachi-katsuura next to a temple complex, all together making for an amazing view after a pleasant climb to the top.
