“I think it's a practical choice, situated a manageable walk or quick bus ride from JR Wakayama Station. Free bicycles expand the radius for exploration, and I noticed that the on-site vending machines conveniently compensate for the limited nearby dining. In my opinion, the inclusion of both Japanese and Western buffet options for breakfast, alongside essential amenities, strikes a good balance for value-conscious travelers.”
