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.

This is our first time to Wakayama and we fell in love with it! It’s a quiet town but people are friendly. Easy to drive to various places of interest like Shirahama. We see more locals than foreign tourists in Wakayama and really love the tranquility of this place. I will definitely spend longer time in wakayama if I come back to Osaka again 👍

Wakayama city prioritizes automobiles. Cars are everywhere.
Wakayama city prioritizes automobiles. Cars are everywhere. Bus service is excellent. Walking is unpleasant because of the frequent need to give way to the few cars rolling through 6 lanes of asphalt.
In contrast, that makes the stroll around the castle a particularly nice experience. The gardens around are well maintained, very pretty. Every sunset is a new experience.
If you have a car, then sure, spend a night there, maybe two if you want to spend some time around Wakanoura. But then speed away to where the real magic of Wakayama happens: Koyasan, Kumano Nachi, Kumano Hongu,...
We had an amazing and awesome experience at Wakayama Urban Hotel. First and foremost, the staff at the front desk were very kind and professional - top notch. The hotel feel was very luxurious. The room size was good. Another bonus - the hotel is only 5 min walk to a decent-size supermarket. Breakfast was served on a second floor. We found our breakfast time was super relaxing - probably the music they played, the luxurious setting, or the open view to the lobby we don't know...- just simply incredible!!!
I could not find any reason to deduct a score because I love everything about this hotel.; the spacious room with large window, the room facilities, the cleanliness, the tasteful interior design, the public hot pools, the helpful and cheerful staffs, and last but not least, their superb location. And there was also one small thing that I really like, their aromatic shampoo. I even bought a few bottles, glad they sold it.
Breakfast was OK. One of the toaster is malfunction not sure why is there . We used another one and is fine. Room size is actually bigger than I thought . I could actually open my 28 inch luggage without a problem at the end of my bed . Which most hotels in Japan budget hotel could not do. The sleeping area and guest floor corridors seems to be refurbished, so a bit better than the rest of the hotel areas.
Kada Onsen was my first saty at a Ryokan and it was awesome. The view was phenomenal. The Rooms were clean, really nice and big. The Onsen was super relaxing. Breakfast was super delicious and the staff was very friendly and patient with me as a japanese learner :-D . You can get a shuttle bus to the next train station. All in all I had a beautiful stay. I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you Kada Onsen!!
A super cute Japanese style house also with a great little BBQ area to chill in after a swim. Our host was very hospitable and friendly and speaks a little English. Less than a minute walk to the beach, cafe, as is Isonoura station. We will be back for sure!
It takes 5 min to walk from Wakayama station to this hotel. It is very convenicent. And they are many restaurants around the hotel. Room is not so large, but enough space. Breakfast is gorgeus and many options. All staffs are very kind and friendly.
Exceptional view, fantastic breakfast and extremely friendly staff despite our very low level Japanese.
Rooms appear to have been renovated since some of the pictures posted - very modern yet beautiful, spacious, and comfortable.
Overall, a fantastic place to stay for cheap, in an excellent location in Wakayama City. Great views from the 9th floor breakfast buffet, fairly comfortable rooms, and helpful staff made Smile Hotel a great fit for us.
Great value offered considering the complete range of room amenities and my top floor room with castle views. Location is perfect for sightseeing in Wakayama City since this hotel is right across the Castle Park.
The staff are fantastic
The food is Greek and irritating same thing every morning. Better have normal Japanese or continentals for breakfast
The hotel was over priced Beds not so comfortable
It is a very central hotel with Wakayama castel close by.
Public transportation right at the front door.
The Sky Spa is a must when you visit. Hot water with a great view.
The location is good. Easy access to JR Wakayama and Wakayamashi Station by bus. The staff is very kind. We found two convenience store just a walking distance from hotel.
Good location, outside a bus stop will take you to Marina City, very convenient
Hot springs in the hotel is super comfortable, offer free ice cream and yogurt is a plus
Direct access from Wakayama station, very friendly and helpful staff who willgo out of their way to make your stay exceptional, clean and tidy interior, cozy rooftop bar
