Fantastic 5.0
This is a fantastic hotel! It's only a 30-second walk from Wakayamashi Station on the Nankai Electric Railway. There's an outdoor public bath on the top floor where you can enjoy the night view while soaking – so comfortable! There's also a library and supermarket nearby. I highly recommend that anyone coming to Wakayama enjoy this wonderful hotel!

The hotel's location is convenient and easy to find, about a 5-minute walk straight from Wakayama Station. This hotel group's famous large public bath and late-night ramen did not disappoint, and I especially liked the free massage chairs.

This is a great hotel! Although the hotel has a bit of history, it is very well maintained. The bathtub in the bathroom is large, with a large window offering a sea view. Free parking is available, the staff are friendly, and the cleaning is thorough. There's really nothing to complain about 😂

Excellent. Although the soundproofing could be better, its location slightly away from the bustling downtown area contributes to an overall sense of quiet.

Amanohashidate and Ine day tour was the highlight of my Osaka trip, and using the JR pass in almost all of my train rides in Osaka and the neighboring areas of Kobe and Kyoto was very maximized. I even got to ride the Shinkansen to Himeji using the JR pass.

Very nice place. I didn’t manage to visit it all in one day because it’s very big and temples close around 4-5pm. The cemetery is a very beautiful experience. The price for this pass is very nice at the time of this review!

The JR Pass is excellent value! We only waited about 5 minutes in line at the Kansai Airport counter, and the staff immediately helped us reserve seats on the Haruka train. From queuing to boarding, it took just 15 minutes in total. It's fantastic to have unlimited rides on the Hello Kitty Shinkansen and trips to Hiroshima included. For a 5-day pass focused on the Kansai area, it offers extremely high value. The only downside is that it doesn't cover Nozomi or Mizuho Shinkansen services between Kyoto and Osaka/Shin-Osaka. However, the Thunderbird limited express train that operates on the same route is also very comfortable and pleasant."

This is my second time getting this pass and I would always get this for my Kansai itnerary. It is very convenient to have especially when multiple companies are operating different set of train lines. Also, its coverage so vast so that you can basically do unlimited variation of your itineraries.
