Sea Queen Kainan

I booked room 311 after seeing online that it was a special room, and stayed for two nights. It seems to be unusually small compared with the rest of the hotel. There was a unit bath, kettle, microwave, induction stove, and sink. It felt like a secret hideout, and I had a great time.

It’s really clean, and I had a very pleasant stay. This seaside business hotel was renovated from a love hotel, which means the rooms and bathrooms are spacious. Even with accommodation prices rising because of inbound tourism, the price here is reasonable. Some rooms allow dogs, and it’s conveniently close to Wakayamaura and a nearby roadside station. Thank you very much!

There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, and for a car trip this is a cheap, spacious place I’d recommend. Since it used to be a love hotel, there’s no worry about finding a parking spot. The rooms and bathrooms are huge, but Kainan Station is about a 12-13 minute walk away, which feels a bit far on foot.

I was after a Japanese-style room, so the spacious room suited me well, and the toilet was new and clean. It had a refrigerator, TV, kettle, and sleepwear. The whole building, room, and bathroom felt dated, and my room had no windows. I only realized after arriving that it was a former love hotel. The room had seemed a little different from a typical business hotel, so then it made sense (lol). It’s fine for just one night, and all the receptionists were very kind.
