Great location, great meal
We enjoyed Minshuku Wakatake. The location is right next to the train station and we had local sashimi course which was great and quite a feast, tuna done 5 ways. The hotel onsen was nice though the water was too hot for us. Otherwise, the room was spacious, Japanese style. We had a nice stay.

Get the tasting menu!
Right across the street from Kii-Katsuura Station across the pedestrian bridge (ignore the directions given by Google maps!), you can catch the afternoon bus from Nachisan and be in time for dinner. In the morning, it is a very short walk to the Tuna auction and Tourist Pier. The minshuku is beautifully decorated by murals from local artist and students. Dinner and Breakfast was phenomenal - lots of things to try complete with a beautifully illustrated explanation to all the local specialities. The onsen was much welcomed after my last day hiking the Kumano Kodo. There is free laundry washing (dryer is 200 yen) and free hot drinks (coffee, tea, latte mix). Excellent service - everyone was kind and welcoming.

The sashimi was so good!
Minshuku Wakatake was easy to find since it's ridiculously close to the JR station. Rooms are nice and acceptable in size. There are no private baths/toilet, so be prepared to do it dorm-style and to have shared baths if you stay here. There was also no elevator, so this isn't the place to go to if you have heavy luggage like our group. Other than that, we had a great experience because the dinner was so good. We've never had so much high quality sashimi before, and they also gave us some extra dishes. Apart from fish, we also had hotpot beef. It was very enjoyable to eat them with beer. We also had a good breakfast before our second hike. Luggage storage is no problem, and staff was very accommodating when we considered taking a taxi to our destination. Overall an enjoyable experience despite the difficulties of our group!

Located close to the station. Room was a bit small for two people with luggage, reminded me more of a Tokyo accommodation, but it was only one night so it was no big deal. Clean bathrooms and toilets. We could also store our luggage there after checkout before our train in the afternoon.

Good stay close to station
The location is close to the Katsuura station and conventient. The rooms and facilities are clean and pleasant. The bath area is shared with limited privacy. Decent stay for good price.
