This is a beautiful resort area with friendly staff (I was directed to a super kind, completely fluent English employee which was a surprise!) and very fun activities to partake in. This resort has the most beautiful coastal views in Japan, from your room (we got a beautiful view of the bay in the Nagisakan-wing of the resort) and from the beautiful cavern-hot springs. I've never been to a hot spring along the Pacific Ocean, let alone one in a huge cave along the cliffside overlooking the ocean! It was such a breath-taking sight, and the restaurants also have incredible views so you can watch the waves crash on the shores as you dine on a delicious selection from the buffet. Best lodging I've ever stayed in, and I highly recommend taking the ~4 hour train ride out from Osaka or Nagoya; you will not regret it, as one could spend two whole days at this resort alone, let alone taking a short bus ride from the station to Nachikatsuura to see the beautiful Nachi no Taki (Japan's tallest waterfall). If you want the experience of a lifetime, I recommend this resort.
