KAMENOI HOTEL GENKAINADA

KAMENOI HOTEL GENKAINADA is a hot spring resort hotel standing on a cape on the Wakamatsu north coast which is designated as Genkai Quasi-National Park. It is just a short walk to the Myokenzaki Lighthouse on Tomigahana. To the west you’ll find Iwaya Beach, with Senjojiki and Wakita Beach to the east, making this an excellent location. All rooms feature an ocean view. The hotel offers a variety of guest rooms such as the calm spaces of Japanese-style rooms, the cheerful atmosphere of Western-style rooms, Japanese-style rooms with beds, and special mixed Japanese and Western style rooms. West-facing rooms offer views of the Genkai Sea and vivid sunsets, while east-facing rooms look out onto ocean scenery and bracing sunrises. The fishing fires that brightly illuminate the ocean at night are a seasonal tradition that can be seen from summer to autumn. The large public baths feature wonderful views and two different kinds of hot springs, with a natural hot spring at Wakamatsu Hibiki Hot Spring, and an artificial hot spring at Komeiseki Hot Spring. We hope you will enjoy a relaxing soak in the spacious outdoor bath while taking in the gorgeous ocean scenery.
