Project background

Minabe-cho, where Grand Mercure Wakayama Minabe is located, is considered to be the birthplace of Minamikoume and is a quiet town with greenery as Japan's largest plum production area (*2). In addition, Senri Beach, about 10 minutes by car from the hotel, is known nationwide as a spawning ground for loggerhead turtles, and is recommended as a base for traveling to enjoy the beautiful nature of the mountains and seas.

Mercure Wakayama Kushimoto is located on a hill in Kushimotocho, the southernmost town of Honshu, where you can enjoy the magnificent Pacific Ocean and the natural monument Hashikui-iwa Rock from guest rooms, hot spring open-air baths, courtyards, etc.

The common attraction of both hotels is that you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and spend a relaxing and extraordinary time. In addition to staying at a resort hotel, entering a hot spring, enjoying a buffet meal, we planned this plan in response to the customer's voice saying, "I want to burn the scenery unique to this area and spend a more relaxing time with loved ones," and "I want to enjoy <experience time> to make the memories of travel deeper."

Superb view x Recommended spot for staff to enjoy fragrant coffee

The taste of coffee, which grinds beans, steams, and carefully pours hot water, is exceptional, but this project is also an important point for "where to enjoy". You can enjoy it at the recommended spot of the staff, or if you take a walk around the hotel or the surrounding area and find your own spot, the memories of your trip will become more intense.

Grand Mercure Wakayama Minabe Resort & Spa

"Ometsuhama" spreads out at the end of the stairs leading from the hotel. It is a secret coast that is not well known to tourists. Watching the sea spreading in front of you, listening to the sound of waves rushing quietly, and drinking carefully brewed coffee while feeling the wind blowing through the sea surface on your cheeks. You can enjoy coffee breaks that are difficult to get in everyday life, "Enjoy with five senses". In addition, we recommend a footbath on the premises. In the season when you miss the hot spring, you can enjoy a relaxing time watching the sunset that dyes the sea in orange with a footbath.

Mercure Wakayama Kushimoto Resort & Spa

Please enjoy the scenery unique to Kushimoto, the southernmost town of Honshu, such as the magnificent sea and Oshima, in the courtyard overlooking below. Because of the space that continues from the lobby, there are few steps, and chairs and tables are also prepared, so you can enjoy it comfortably by a wide range of generations. Morning coffee while watching the morning sun rising from the sea in front of you and the sea that begins to shine in the light of the sun, you will be able to remember.

Kishu Binchotan charcoal roasted beans with different tastes

You can enjoy different coffee beans at each of the two hotels.

【Grand Mercure Wakayama Minabe】 Here, we will offer the arabica variety "Mokashidamo", a representative brand cultivated in the Ethiopia and Shidamo region. It has a unique sweet aroma and smooth acidity, and is characterized by fruity fruity.

【Mercure Wakayama Kushimoto】 Then, we will provide "Kilimanjaro" grown in Tanzania at high altitude. The balance of deep richness and sourness is good, and there is little miscellaneous taste, so you can enjoy a refreshing taste.

Both are carefully roasted over the long infrared rays of Kishu Binchotan, a specialty product that Wakayama Prefecture boasts, so you can feel the original sweetness and fragrant flavor of coffee firmly.

Offering "Outdoor Breweed Coffee Experience Accommodation Plan", the two hotels are all-inclusive resort hotels where you can enjoy breakfast-style meals, alcohol at dinner, soft drinks offered in the lounge and local confections at the price. The taste of the open-air bath and lounge where you can enjoy the hot springs is slightly different, and even the buffet offers a menu that feels the uniqueness of each hotel. Why don't you know the characteristics of each hotel and make it a candidate for a retreat trip in autumn and winter?
