Hanairodori No Yado Kayuu

Quiet and close to the whale museum. However, not many dinning options near by unless you drive. Public transport is limited as well.

ふすまが斜めになっていて締まりきらない！ 部屋が古い

A CAUTIONARY NOTE: This is a Japanese whaling/fishing town. If slaughtered/trapped dolphins and whales bother you, consider going elsewhere as you cannot avoid it here. There are pens of trapped wild-caught dolphins right out the window. I booked this hotel without doing enough research as a relaxing stay after hiking the Kumano Kodo and after minutes of driving into town, knew I had made a mistake. As a tender-hearted human who watched “The Cove” and “Whale Wars” I cannot believe I booked a hotel in the literal cove where thousands of wild dolphins are killed, sold, and hunted. It was my miss, so I thought I’d provide this so that you don’t make the same mistake. It looks as though other booking sites had these types of reviews, but Expedia did not. Otherwise, the view of the ocean and hills are beautiful, the staff are so kind and helpful, the breakfast is nice, and the outdoor onsen is peaceful. The rooms are OK, but could use some maintenance. There is a free shuttle to Kii Katsura a couple times a day, but otherwise you are pretty isolated at the hotel.

器にも非常に気を配ってられて料理も美味しかったです 確かに建物、設備が古くなってる事は否めませんがゆっくり懐かしい旅館といった雰囲気を味わうにはよいとろこです 部屋からの海の眺めもいいです

Room is spacious, Outside onsen is good but quite cold. Breakfast is surprisingly good and serviced by staff. Hotel area is very spacious and good photo-taking.

We had an amazing time at this hotel. We would return for sure. The outdoor onsen is beautiful and even thought there were other guests in the hotel, we were the only one using them, so it was quite relaxing. The staff members were so welcoming and friendly, the food was just impeccable. At breakfast time until we left, there was a pianist playing the piano. He was fabulous. We loved everything!!

とにかく全てが最高でした！ 部屋のデザイン、インテリア、ロケーション、 備品一つ一つにまでこだわりがあり、ずっと住みたくなる程とても居心地が良かったです。 下で出来るバーベキュー用のコンロまでオシャレで、テンションが上がり寒さも気にならず、近くの漁協スーパーで買い揃えた食材でとても美味しくいだたけて、楽しくバーベキューが出来ました。 部屋の外に常駐してくださっているスタッフの方々もとても感じが良く、常に笑顔で親切で、とても気持ち良かったです。 温泉の脱衣所も清潔で、無理の足のマッサージ機があるのが嬉しかったです。 お湯もいいお湯でした。 過去最高に良い宿でした！ 少し行きにくい場所ですが、こちらに泊まる為だけに行っても良い程の価値があると思います。 本当に良い思い出になりました。

設備に古い感がある。

Both the dinner set and breakfast set were excellent. The staffs were friendly! This was a wonderful experience.

オーシャンビューで、居心地がよい部屋。 老朽化した施設を工夫しながら、きれいに保ち、スタッフさんの、丁寧な対応で、評価高い。 朝食を付けたプランであったが、とてもおいしく、すてきである。ドリンクの種類は、多くはないが、普段飲まないドリンクが置いてありよかった。ハワイのコナコーヒー等。
