Hotel Sanrakuso

628. Hotel Sanrakuso, Shirahama, Wakayama ★ Visited on higaeri using the tegata. Higaeri stated as 15:00 to 21:00 (not on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays). M/F bath rotation - I was in Yoimachi. Part of the Shirahama tegata (2 stickers). They sell the 12 Onsen of Wakayama stamp. The hotel has some Showa-era vibes. On service - the male staff I saw were trying to handle Russian-speaking foreign guests checking in without any English knowledge, doing everything very stiffly. The onsen's special feature is, surprisingly, a projector that broadcasts videos "for atmosphere" right into the bath area. Baths: 1. Wooden bath with clear water, some rare foam on the surface. 40 degrees. 2. Sunken bath. Slightly cloudy blue water. Proper sulfurous onsen smell. 41-42 degrees. A fairly average place, but worth noting for the unusual projector feature and the water in the second bath. 17.06.2025
