Wakayama Nachikatsuura Town
A scenic garden open-air bath with a private spring gushing 200 liters per minute, overlooking the World Heritage site Nachi Falls
"Kamenoi Hotel Nachikatsuura" is a hilltop hot spring hotel in Nachikatsuura Town, Higashimuro District, Wakayama Prefecture, with an ideal location for exploring the World Heritage Kumano Kodo. Its all-ocean-view rooms overlook Kumano-nada right in front. The hot spring uses a luxurious private source, the Hamayu-Takinoyu mixed spring, with 200 liters gushing out every minute. Guests can fully enjoy a superb natural hot spring in the spacious indoor bath at Takimino-yu in the large public bath, as well as in the Garden Open-Air Bath, which offers an overwhelming sense of openness with distant views of the World Heritage mountains and Nachi Falls. The top-floor suite rooms and other rooms are also equipped with private open-air baths overlooking the scenery, using hot spring water.
A spacious large public bath fed by a high-quality private source that gushes 200 liters of water per minute. Because it contains abundant salt and minerals, it leaves the skin smooth and supple while warming you deeply from the core. It gives off a faint, distinctive rich aroma and is a superb bath with moisturizing benefits.
A Japanese-style garden open-air bath with an overwhelming sense of openness, where the blue Pacific Ocean spreads out before you. While soaking in the high-quality hot spring flowing directly from the private source in 100% natural flow in some tubs, you can also enjoy distant views of the World Heritage Kumano mountains and Nachi Falls. At night, a sky full of stars, fishing lights on the sea, and the soothing sound of the waves deepen the sense of travel.
