The length of the tour felt just right. Each destination was allocated sufficient time. We were lucky to got on the cat themed train and we managed to see both cat masters at departure and arrival station. Lunch at the seafood market was very fresh, and the seaviews after were fabulous! Our tour guide Tiger was very professional and amazing! He did a bilingual tour (English & Chinese) and alternate between chinese first, then chinese, and vice versa. He also offered to help us take photos and made sure we are all taken care of. I like that the explanations for each destination was done on the bus, so we had ample free time when we arrive. Tiger was also very kind to recommend some restaurants at the end of the trip! Would recommend this tour and it would be a bonus to have Tiger as your tour guide!

I highly recommend this tour, which covers both natural landscapes and historical sites. Our driver and guide, Li Xiang, managed the time perfectly, allowing ample time to explore each location. We spent 1 hour and 50 minutes at the Tore Tore Market. The Senjojiki rock formations were absolutely stunning on a clear day, and the panoramic 360-degree view of Wakayama City from Wakayama Castle's main keep was fantastic. We had a great time. These attractions would be difficult to reach by public transport, making this one-day tour excellent value for money.

It was great to see a part of Japan that wasn't touristy and would have been difficult to access without a personal driver. Our guide was great and extremely sweet. She did not speak fluent English but was still very helpful and got us arouns safe. We highly recommend this tour if you would like to see a part of Japan that has more locals than tourist!

We had a great time with our driver, Sam, he was very respectful, accomodating and patient. He recommended us a great place to eat as well. When we got to Nachi Falls it was raining, and he had umbrellas ready for us. His positive and joyful attitude made the trip very special.

Located just above the train station making arrivals at night flight convenient and hassle free. rooms and beds are nice. area is not at a busy part of Wakayama city so streets are not noisy. there is a 7 eleven at the station and a supermarket that sells local produce and snacks. Breakfast has a great spread.

The hotel's location is very convenient, close to Wakayama JR Station and connected to Kintetsu Department Store. The bus terminal downstairs makes it easy to take a bus to Kuroshio Market or other attractions. Mr. Cao, the front desk receptionist, was very friendly. We paid extra for breakfast, and the only thing to mention is that the breakfast was just average, not particularly delicious.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. our room had a beautiful view of the castle and it was very clean and quiet, with a comfortable bed. It was on bus routes and only 20-25 min walk from the train station.

The hotel's location is convenient, just a 5-minute walk from the station. Although the hotel seems a bit old, everything else is great. The public bath, though small, is very unique, and they offer free popsicles and Yakult. There's also complimentary late-night ramen at 9:30 PM. I would choose this hotel again on my next visit to Wakayama.
