WoodHigh ROOMS
Tatami floors and a full kitchen near the station
この宿について
WoodHigh ROOMS runs an aparthotel format built around tatami (traditional woven-mat flooring) in every unit, alongside a genuine kitchenette with a stovetop, oven, dining area and full kitchenware, a self-catering set-up rare among Wakayama's mostly business-hotel stock nearby. Spa facilities and a hot tub sit on site, plus a lounge and a washing machine for longer stays, and the private bathroom carries a bath, hairdryer and free toiletries as standard. Private check-in and check-out, a lift, full-day security and parking round out a stay built for independence rather than a full-service front desk. Wakayama MIO sits less than a kilometre away, with Takanoji Temple an eighteen-minute walk from the door.

This suits a traveller wanting a longer, more self-catering stay with a genuinely different room format, tatami floors and a full kitchen, rather than a standard business-hotel overnight. The spa facilities and hot tub are a real bonus for independent travellers, though anyone wanting a staffed front desk around the clock or a restaurant on site should look elsewhere on this list instead.
- Use the full kitchen to cook rather than relying on takeaway; the stovetop and oven are genuinely equipped for real meals.
- Try sleeping on the tatami with the futon laid out for a different rhythm from a standard Western-style bed.
- Confirm private check-in arrangements ahead of arrival, since the front desk does not run a traditional staffed lobby.

ゲストに愛される理由Booking WoodHigh ROOMS out of curiosity about the tatami floors turned out well beyond expectations, with the kitchenette letting me cook dinner after a long day rather than hunting for a restaurant near JR Wakayama Station after dark. Sitting on the tatami mats with the futon laid out felt like a genuinely different pace from the standard hotel rooms I had used earlier in the same trip.
