Stayed here for 2 nights with my parents. We all loved Yanagiya. The hotel was in decent condition considering the history. We felt hospitality the moment we stepped out of the free shuttle bus. It was located right across the sea and next to an ancient public Onsen. Don’t miss it if you are interested and it’s super cheap. We had the food inside our room for both breakfast and dinner. No complaint for the amount, quality and service of all meals. The in-room onsen was convenient. We also tried the onsen inside the hotel. It was pure hot spring water so l liked it. The date we planned to depart happened to be a special day for a local event so the roads nearby were all closed. No shuttle bus or taxi could get to the hotel and take us to the train station. But the front desk staff came to our room, showed us different options on the map and explained to us to his best. We appreciated his help so that we could get out and catch the train on time.

This is one of the few ryokans that offers in-room dining for both breakfast and dinner.
After arriving, they helped move our car and luggage, and everyone was incredibly kind and wonderful.
There's a Family Mart next to the ryokan, which is very convenient. ✨

The hot springs were sourced and felt amazing!
The bath in our room even had a Miraba bath!
In-room dining was extremely convenient for those traveling with children.

I was so happy that they asked us in detail about room preparation and what we needed!
Both breakfast and dinner were so large that I was worried I wouldn't be able to finish them all, but they were so delicious that I finished them all before I knew it. 😋 I even had dessert. 😋
This is an ryokan I'd definitely like to stay at again. 🥰

I stayed at this hotel in Feb 2024. I stayed at 4 onsen ryokans / hotels during my trip in Feb 2024 and this hotel gave me the worst experience I have never had, not just in comparison to the other 3 onsen ryokans / hotels which I stayed in my trip, but all onsen ryokans / hotels I stayed in Japan before.

There are a lot of abandoned ryokans/ hotels in Shirahama and I am sure this hotel will be one of them. The photos in the official website gave me a good impression but eventually the experience turned out to be the opposite.

The hotel does not invest in the upkeep of its facilities. While the hotel is carrying out renovations room by room, many other rooms as well as the common areas remain unrenovated. My Japanese-style room with an outdoor onsen bath was dim. The decoration was old and poorly maintained. The false ceiling near the air conditioner was cracked but not repaired. The carpet was old and worn and had not been replaced. The corridor leading to the public onsen bath gave a terrible atmosphere. Overall, the aged interior decoration did not meet the modern Japanese aesthetic standards.

For the dinner (夕食), the seafood including the sashimi and lobsters (伊勢海老) were not fresh and tasted bad. The Japanese beef (和牛) seemed to have been put in the fridge for a long time. The breakfast (朝食) was also a nightmare. It seemed that all items were just taken from the fridge. I think this is related to the low patronage of the hotel, resulting in food being kept refrigerated for a long time.

The expensive price did not guarantee a good experience. I think this is the reason why there were only a few groups of guests staying at the hotel. On the day I stayed at the hotel, there were only 4 groups of guests, but the hotel has more than 50 rooms. On the next days the situation was better, with a total of 6 groups of guests.

You can choose a Marriot hotel nearby at similar price. Don’t risk your holiday.

The architectural style is as described. It was built in the 1990s and is well preserved. Local people will also find it a relatively economical hotel. The room is not soundproofed. The noise of the children next door will only be quiet after they fall asleep, and the uncle's snoring will accompany you until dawn. There are many front desk staff, who enthusiastically help guests carry luggage, park, and greet 🙋, making everyone forget many complaints. When booking this double room with dinner that night and breakfast the next morning, it was found that the service content in the order was inconsistent. It said that it came with two meals (for use in the restaurant) and the right sentence did not include breakfast. The Japanese version even showed: 素泊まり, which is clearly a contradiction! Before placing the order, I called Ctrip customer service repeatedly and confirmed twice. They said that they had confirmed with the Japanese hotel that it did include two meals, so I was relieved to place the order and prepaid all the fees. As a result, when we arrived at the hotel, we were told by the front desk that it was just accommodation without meals. We had to call Ctrip for consultation. In less than an hour and a half, we arranged to compensate for the cost of 2 meals. Although the problem was solved satisfactorily, the cost of paying the hotel was also borne by Ctrip. I can't help but ask, why didn't you find an employee who knows the habits of local tourist attractions and hotels in Japan when making this order? Such a simple mistake, if it happens in the list of multiple attractions in Japan, how much will Ctrip bear? What's more, as a guest, it will be very embarrassing and very unhappy when checking in. It's not that you can't afford this meal fee. Why can't you tell the guests clearly whether it includes or not before placing the order? Fortunately, I held back and didn't quarrel with the Japanese customer service at the front desk. I lost the dignity of the Chinese people, which is a big deal! I hope Ctrip can give us an explanation! What is the reason for this incident? ? Tell me the truth!

Good staff service. Convenient location. Room has sea view. One night stay and two meals are highly recommended

This was my first time traveling to Wakayama Prefecture. It was also my first time staying at Yanagiya. First, the staff greeted me, and I left my car there and checked in. The staff took my luggage to the room. I went to the hot spring. There was an indoor bath and an open-air bath. I was surprised to see Sekkisei lotion and milk. This was the first time I've stayed at an inn that stocks this product. For dinner, we had a Japanese kaiseki course. There were 15 dishes and I was very satisfied. Everything was delicious, but the sashimi was very fresh, and there was even a whole flounder sashimi, which was very delicious. The staff were also kind and polite. The breakfast was a Japanese meal with a wide variety of dishes, and I was very satisfied. If I have the opportunity, I would like to stay at this inn again.

Stayed here with my family for a night, the service was exceptional and the bath was very clean and hot. We got ice cream afterwards and it was great! My favorite part was our japanese style room overlooking the beach. Highly recommend! We will come back again next year.

The room is narrow! The food is average

The Hotel is not too big and has a cozy atmosphere. It was nice to see the sea from the window. In additional there was a massage chair in the room which was very nice. The location and the customer service of the staff were good but the only amenities were tooth brushes and hair dryers. No shampoo. conditioner or body soap. It looks like if you want contact the front desk by phone and bring it. The breakfast japanese style is very delicious.

The location of the hotel is very good, within walking distance to Shirarahama, Senjojiki and Sandanakabe. The room is quiet, the sea view is very beautiful, the breakfast and dinner are very exquisite. The hot spring bath is also very good.
