Guest Reviews
Shingu UI Hotel boasts a prime location in the heart of Shingu City, making it an excellent choice for travelers seeking convenience and accessibility. The hotel is notably close to Shingu station with most guests reporting a brief 8-to-10 minute walk, although some find it to be a bit of a trek. This strategic positioning allows easy access to both train and bus services, facilitating travel around the area.
The hotel is situated on the main road and is within walking distance to key landmarks such as the Kamikura Jinja, the Kumano Hayatama Grand Shrine, Shingu Castle ruins and other tourist attractions. Guests appreciated its proximity to both historic sites and the bustling city center, along with nearby shops and essential services like the post office and convenience stores.
However, it should be noted that while the first parking lot is conveniently located, the second one is somewhat further away, which might be a little confusing for first-time visitors. Despite this minor inconvenience, the location's overall appeal, especially for those exploring the Kumano Kodo and Kumano Sanzan sites, remains highly praised.

For those staying multiple nights, there's a slight desire for more variation in the breakfast menu. Despite this, the quality and taste of the meals remain consistently high with many looking forward to breakfast each morning. Notably, during the pandemic, breakfast was served in boxed meals, which did not quite match the usual standards.
While there are occasional mentions of issues such as side dishes being fewer for the price or food quality concerns, the overall sentiment is highly positive. Breakfast at Shingu UI Hotel is largely seen as a delicious and enjoyable start to the day, contributing to a comfortable stay.
