SeaAbout
The resort has indoor and outdoor public baths, and the outdoor bath draws on a natural spring called kuro-yu (黒湯), literally 'black water', with a sauna that reviewers say runs properly hot from early morning. It's a big family resort on the Wakayama coast rather than a quiet retreat: with most guests here for the pools, buffets and an all-you-can-drink lounge, the baths and elevators can get busy at peak times. Rooms include sea views, dinner and breakfast run buffet-style, and day-use bathing is welcome for anyone just visiting Minabe.
