真田昌幸-幸村父子の隠れ宿 紀伊見荘
--- The property is not yet rated
真田昌幸-幸村父子の隠れ宿 紀伊見荘 is a traditional, mid-sized ryokan set on a wooded highland within a national park near Kimi-toge Station, offering a mix of Japanese-style rooms and group accommodation across roughly two to three floors. The property operates a restaurant serving seasonally selected menus that draw on local ingredients — examples on the house menu include regional poultry and pork preparations alongside a buffet of prefectural specialties — and houses multipurpose and conference rooms for small groups. Public facilities include communal lounges, a parking area and basic event spaces; rooms are arranged to accommodate couples, families and larger parties using futon layouts and simple, refreshed furnishings.
The bathing facility, known on site as Kii-mi no Yu, is a continuously filled alkaline spring (reported at pH 9.1) described by the ryokan as an un-diluted “beauty” hot spring with a smooth, soft feel on the skin. Baths are separated by gender with set guest hours in the late afternoon to evening and again in the early morning, and the venue promotes both overnight and daytime bathing options. Because the onsen is maintained as a communal public bath rather than exclusive private tubs, it is best described for search purposes as a ryokan with onsen in Wakayama rather than a property focused on private in-room baths.

Negative Reviews
Limited dining options and remote location
Numerous guests noted there are few or no restaurants/shops within walking distance; hotel meal options are limited or require advance booking, making food access difficult if arriving late.
Outdated building and cleanliness concerns
Several reviews described the property as old or worn, with issues such as dusty changing rooms, spiderwebs, dead insects in places, humid smells in the elevator and general ‘rough around the edges’ maintenance.
Front desk communication and staffing issues
Multiple guests experienced poor communication: slow or no replies to messages, unattended reception desk at times, unclear check-in information and inconsistent guest assistance.
Lack of in-room bathroom and futon comfort issues
Many rooms lack private showers; guests must use the onsen which has limited opening hours. Some guests found futons thin/hard and not as comfortable as expected.
Extra fees and perceived value concerns
Guests mentioned additional charges (e.g. paid onsen or paid parking), and some felt the nightly price was high relative to the condition and services offered.
