    The scenic mountains near the city offers stunning sunset views. The Sakura were in full bloom. There are several parks around the city, and the impressive Wakayama castle. The hotel (Candeo Hotels Nankai) is great value - fantastic river views, rooftop onsen that you can enjoy the sunset. And right at the Wakayama Station. Good dining options around the hotel too.

    Wakayama has a wonderful castle and museum that was sparsely attended. It was a nice change to have the place to yourself so you could take your time at the exhibits. We chose to come here as the city was close to Kansai Airport for our return flight. We did not explore the regional trails which I believe are wonderful. If only visiting the city, a stay of 2 days is sufficient.

    When I mentioned going to Wakayama for an overnight stay, my coworkers all ask if I went to Shirahama for the beach or a hot spring. I didn’t, I went to Wakayama City. It was during Golden Week but the city and main station didn’t feel crowded at all since it’s definitely more out in the countryside and not much of tourist destination within its own prefecture. However, this was just right for us as we wanted a low key trip to somewhere close but new. We mainly spent our first day enjoying the Kishigawa train line, famous for the story of Tama the cat station master. If you like trains, cats, or small local shrines, I would recommend getting a day pass and spending the day visiting the current cat station masters (Nitama and her apprentice Yontama). There are four unique trains with different decor and themes and it was fun riding them and looking at the beautiful countryside of Wakayama from the windows with good weather. The area we stayed around had lots of small local restaurants and we found a delicious Spanish cuisine restaurant with excellent service called Staub Kitchen OLMO. We didn’t spend much time in Wakayama city, but next time I’d like to visit Wakayama Castle as well as the park and museums around it. It’s a walkable city but also has some buses going towards more popular areas.

    Wakayama was never on our list until we heard about Kumano Kodo. It was an underrated city where there were many interesting places to explore. We would recommend doing the Kumano Kodo - Nakahechi route walk for anyone who loves hiking. The minimum of 4 days were required for this route, as we did. We spent 2 days hiking from Takijiri-oji near Tanabe city to Kumano Hongu Taisha. Then, we explored Yunomine Onsen which was one of the oldest onsen town in Japan and Kawayu Onsen where we could dig our own onsen pool on the river bank. We also recommended doing a boat tour down the river to Kumano Hayatama Taisha as it was part of the UNESCO world heritage site. Lastly, to complete the 3 grand shrines, we visited Kumano Nachi Taisha and the Nachi falls, the tallest fall in Japan, on our last day. The logistics were not difficult. We took the Kuroshio train to and from Wakayama and local bus in Hongu area.

    Wakayama castle was very good, not only the view from the top of the tower but also the garden and tea room and secret corridor! You can also enter into the museum if you show the Wakayama castle entrance ticket. The zoo is ok for kids but not so much for grown up!

    It’s one of the less popular destinations and thus prices are really nice. A lot of fresh fruits and sea is reasonably clean. If you don’t have time to go to Shirahama, Wakayama city is the second best. Isonoura beach has white sand.

    Very welcoming onsen resort in a magnificent location. Perfect reset after Tokyo and Osaka. The onsen and views were amazing. Dinner and breakfast were excellent- including fresh Onigiri. Our few words of Japanese and Google Translate were enough. The rooms were large, and the beds very comfortable. Yukata is 3 sizes provided. The shuttle bus was easy to find at the station and very convenient. We had such a lovely stay which left us refreshed to journey onto our next destinations.

    It was a surprise that the Wakayama Castle can be viewed closely from our windows. The room size is truly big. The hotel also got a sizable carpark that allows us to park the car very easily. The very very big AEON MALL WAKAYAMA is only 13 minute drive away, in which we could buy almost everything we wanted to. Lastly, it's also not too far away from the KIX Int'l Airport, less than an hour drive to reach there. Could be a good choice of hotel before leaving for other countries.

    Room was relatively spacious for a Japanese business hotel. The onsen was not crowded most of the time, and there is a window in the main indoor bath area so it does not feel super stuffy, so it all added up to be very relaxing. I also liked that the hotel provides a free ice cream bar (at night) or yakult (in the morning) for guests to enjoy after the onsen. Also, Dormy Inn's signature free ramen during late night hours is always much appreciated.

    I loved the location - it was so near to JR Wakayama Station as indicated in what I have read prior to booking this hotel. It made catching the train to my next destination very easy and stress-free. The bus terminal is just outside the station and it was easy to get around. The breakfast provided by the hotel was generous and balanced. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the room size and the beddings are very comfortable!
