"The atmosphere was amazing. The property sits on a private island a short ferry ride from the port of Katsuura. Onsen was high quality."

Manseirou

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed this location and the staff was very helpful. Near transportation and the fish market with a great view of the harbor and ocean."

Oyado Hana

10/10 Excellent

"Private onsen by reservation request at night"

Hotel Urashima

8/10 Good

"This is our second stay at Hotel Urashima. They've changed ownership so there is a difference in checking in There are stand alone Kiosk to check in. Not so personal. We usually get 1/2 board which is buffet breakfast and buffet dinner. Both breakfast and dinner have several pre dinner cooking devices that you cook your fish or vegetables. Breakfast could be improved. My favorite is the variety of onsens and the cave grottto is my favorite. There is also a shiatsu massage service."
