Nachikatsuura Benten Island Hotels

"Lovely hotel for after your hikes. The onsens were nice. The temperature was perfect for me. It is a dated hotel but i think the amenities were still good. You also get a free bath salt for completing 3 of the onsens. The staff were very nice and accommodating. You can leave your luggage even before check in and I was able to access the rooftop or mountain observatory. The buffet dinner and breakfast has a lot of variety so I think everyone has something for them there"

"We were warmly welcomed to Manseirou after 4 days of hiking the Kumano Kodō. The hotel was clean and peaceful and the onsen was perfect for soaking away the soreness from the hike. We had an excellent breakfast at the hotel and a nice view of the harbor."

"Great location, excellent meals"

"The included meals were all excellent."

"My husband and I were very blessed to be able to stay here for 2 nights. We loved staying here, especially the second day. Wish we were able to stay here another night to enjoy lounging around more since we spent the second day seeing the Seiganto-ji Temple Sanjuno-to 3-Storied Pagoda and that surrounding area. As for the review of this Ryokan, we appreciate how this place has their own luggage service when you're at the dock, which we found to be helpful. Since we stayed for 2 nights, the meals were different on the second day, which we like the dinner on the second day more than the first. We find it a bit surprising as we'd think the first day dinner should be more of a show-stopper. However, it wasn't the case for us, but the dinner on the second night made us consider coming back here in the future. Besides that, we love the view from our room because it's gorgeous watching the sunrise. We also really like the service, especially the young female who assisted us explaining the meal in English on the second night for dinner and our breakfast on the last day. She was very sweet and remembered us. She also suggested to take pictures for us. Unfortunately, we didn't catch her name."

"Hotel was an 8 minute walk from the train station, easy as. Hotel was clean and staff friendly and welcoming. Room was gorgeous, traditional Japanese room with the most amazing view over the water, sunrise and sunset was beautiful. Room was very comfortable as was the futon for sleeping. Bathroom in the room (no shower) and the room had everything you needed. Bathing: hotel has a male and female (separate) sento/onsen (communal bathing). Common at the more traditional hotels. You have your modesty towel 😅 to use if you wish. Mattered were two male baths- indoor and outdoor. Indoor was beautifully hot and large in size and being indoor, the steam is a great feeling. Outdoor one is smaller (4 people), and is nice and warm and allows a good balance of being able to moderate your body temperature. Both look at our the water. Don’t be shy to go and use these facilities, great place to talk with people whilst relaxing or keep to yourself. Town is an old port town and is very quiet, not many cars around or people. By 6pm you might see a handful of people walking around. Dining options are limited outside the hotel but they are there, if you walk around the street you will find enough dining options. It’s a beautiful town and easy trip to Nachi taisha. Info office at the station if you need, they speak English and happy to help you. Great time and highly recommend this hotel."
