forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.05 out of 5 (1,914 reviews). Families praise the children's meals as generously sized and well received, and note that the game corner has plenty of games that can be played free of charge, which suits families with children. Children were also delighted by the manga and picture books in the free-drink space. On the other hand, some guests reported feathers coming out of the down duvet in the room, which brought on coughing and sneezing.

Overview
Kamenoi Hotel Nachikatsuura is a hot-spring inn in Nanki Katsuura Onsen, looking out over the Kumano Sea. Its 102 rooms range from 8- and 10-tatami Japanese-style tatami rooms to Japanese-Western rooms and rooms with an open-air bath, and the Japanese-style rooms with beds, laid with Ryukyu tatami, are recommended for families who want both tatami and beds. At dinner, elementary school children are served a kids' kaiseki course and children under school age a kids' set meal, and baby food is provided free of charge for children under 1. Co-sleeping is available for up to 2 children; children aged 0 to 2 with neither meals nor bedding are 1,650 yen, and 50% of the adult rate if meals or bedding are added. Along with the communal baths and the garden open-air baths, natural onsen water is also supplied to the in-room baths in every room type except the Standard Twin and Superior Twin.
Rooms
There are 102 rooms in all, with plenty of tatami options: an 8-tatami Japanese-style tatami room (33 sq m, for 1 to 4 guests), a 10-tatami Japanese-style tatami room (35 sq m, for 1 to 5 guests) and a 10-tatami Japanese-style tatami room with an ocean view (39 sq m, for 1 to 5 guests). The Japanese-style room with beds and an ocean view is a 42 sq m Japanese-Western room; the rooms with an en-suite bathroom take up to 4 guests, and those with a shower booth only take up to 5. This Japanese-style room with beds is a Japanese setting laid with Ryukyu tatami, presented as a room where families with young children can relax. Other options include Japanese-Western rooms (Standard, Superior and Deluxe), the Western-style Standard Twin and Superior Twin, and the 110 sq m Japanese-Western Deluxe Corner Suite with a view open-air bath (for 1 to 5 guests). The Deluxe Twin with an open-air bath is set up with an extra bed when three guests stay, and some Western-style rooms are likewise set up with an extra bed for a third guest. Every room has an air purifier, and humidifiers are available to borrow in limited numbers. Since July 1, 2024, every room has had a refrigerator.
Dining
Both dinner and breakfast are served in the dining area, and no in-room dining is listed. Dinner is a seasonal kaiseki course featuring Kumano beef and fresh tuna from Katsuura Fishing Port, served from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. (last entry 8:30 p.m.). Elementary school children are served a kids' kaiseki course, and children under school age a kids' set meal. Breakfast is from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. (last entry 8:30 a.m.). Baby food is provided free of charge for children under 1. For food allergies, contacting the hotel by phone or email at least 3 days before your stay may allow an allergy-friendly menu to be prepared; because the kitchen handles many kinds of ingredients, trace contamination cannot be ruled out, and requests cannot be handled on the day. Bringing food or drinks into the dining venue is not permitted, but baby food and allergy-free meals may be brought in if you tell the hotel in advance.
Baths and Onsen
There are 2 communal baths and 2 open-air baths, open from 3 p.m. to midnight and from 5:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. They cannot be used between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and bathing before check-in or after checkout is not possible. On the way to the communal baths and open-air baths there is a flight of stairs, a dozen or so steps. As for the types of spring water, the table on the hotel's onsen page lists an alkaline simple onsen (a hypotonic, alkaline, low-temperature spring), while the descriptive text on that same page and the facilities section on Rakuten Travel describe it as a weakly alkaline simple sulfur spring, so the two descriptions differ. There are 12 rooms in 6 types with an open-air bath making generous use of the onsen, and natural onsen water is supplied to the in-room baths in every room type except the Standard Twin and Superior Twin, so families with a baby too young for a trip to the communal bath can still soak in the room. Whether children who are not yet out of diapers may enter the tubs in the communal bath is not stated, so please confirm with the hotel if you need to know. There is no private-hire bath and no sauna.
Family-Friendly Features
Co-sleeping is available for up to 2 children. Rates for babies and toddlers depend on whether meals and bedding are included, and with bedding the rate is 50% of the adult rate. Children aged 0 to 2 with neither meals nor bedding pay 1,650 yen, while babies and toddlers with either meals or bedding pay 50% of the adult rate. Children aged 3 to 6 who have not yet started elementary school pay 50% of the adult rate, and elementary school children pay 70%. A bathing tax of 150 yen per night applies to guests aged 12 and over. As a free service for staying guests, late-night tantanmen (spicy sesame noodles) is served. The entertainment lounge, with darts, nostalgic smart-ball pinball and a soccer game, is one the hotel says even young children can enjoy (3 p.m. to 11 p.m.). Families can also use the table-tennis room (3 p.m. to 11 p.m.). On the first floor there is a game corner with crane games and more (2:30 p.m. to 11 p.m.). The karaoke room costs 2,200 yen per hour and must be reserved by phone or at check-in (3 p.m. to 10 p.m., last order 9 p.m.). Late checkout is possible if you inquire about the charge and other details, though it may not be available depending on conditions on the day. Guests with tattoos, including fashion tattoos, cannot use the communal baths or the open-air baths connected to them, and are asked to use the bath in their room instead.
