Nachi Falls is beautiful, but Nachikatsuura also has a fantastic view of the ocean. Kumano Bettei Nakanoshima is located on an island floating in the sea, so every room has a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. This Ryokan (Japanese inn) offers the kind of calm, high-quality service you'd expect from a traditional Japanese inn, making it popular with adults looking to relax and unwind. As a base for sightseeing, you'll need to return to the port by boat, but this slight inconvenience adds to the special feeling of being a hideaway.

I recommend Banseiro, a relaxing, purely Japanese-style inn located in the heart of Katsuura onsen(hot spring). While it's not exactly a "mountain view" inn, the observation bath on the top floor offers a tranquil view of Katsuura Port, which is very picturesque. onsen(hot spring) 100% natural hot spring, warming you from the inside out. I recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a quiet stay at a Japanese Ryokan (Japanese inn).
