Sunrise Katsuura

The front desk and dining staff here were great. They answered all of my questions and were very friendly and efficient. The Japanese traditional room was lovely, and the ocean view was fantastic. I enjoyed the onsen very much, and it was very clean and pleasant, with two baths, one small bath that was outside for fresh air. Loved the large yukatas, too! The breakfast was very good: very local, traditional, and fresh, and my table had a nice ocean view. Great dining service! The hotel is just 10 minutes walk from the JR station and downtown Nachikatsuura, and not far from other onsens if you would like to try many onsens in the area. There is a good, small Izakaya restaurant just a few minutes down the street if you prefer a different dinner.

We loved sitting in the dining alcove looking out to the mountains and bay with the sea eagles soaring close by. The room was large with private toilet and washbasin and the public bath had the same great views (at least for the men, unfortunately the women’s bath has frosted glass – I assume for privacy). Breakfast was plentiful and tasty.

Great location, 10min walk from JR station, with ocean view. Clean tatami room with public bath (love it after long hike!). Friendly staff, nice services and good price over all.

Room was a generous size with views over the ocean, hotel was very quiet, beds were super comfortable, the staff were helpful and friendly. We ate at a local restaurant which was within walking distance.

Upgraded room with a fabulous view, full course meal for both dinner and breakfast, open air hot springs. Sunrise Katsuura Hotel exceeded my expectations in more ways than one. It even felt like I had the restaurant and public bath to myself. The price I paid could probably get me a much smaller hotel room in Tokyo, without the meals.
