Top Whale Monument Hotel Reviews

Kumano-bettei Nakanoshima

10/10 Excellent

"The atmosphere was amazing. The property sits on a private island a short ferry ride from the port of Katsuura. Onsen was high quality."

Manseirou

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed this location and the staff was very helpful. Near transportation and the fish market with a great view of the harbor and ocean."

Hotel Urashima

8/10 Good

"This is our second stay at Hotel Urashima. They've changed ownership so there is a difference in checking in There are stand alone Kiosk to check in. Not so personal. We usually get 1/2 board which is buffet breakfast and buffet dinner. Both breakfast and dinner have several pre dinner cooking devices that you cook your fish or vegetables. Breakfast could be improved. My favorite is the variety of onsens and the cave grottto is my favorite. There is also a shiatsu massage service."

Kokoyui Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Special place traditional Japanese style cabin like but on the coast. We had an amazing stay, on a walk to get some dinner supplies at a market we were offered to come celebrate a holiday with community members, a truly special experience. Check in and out with lock box very convenient, be careful driving in as the streets are narrow and be respectful :D"
