This is an accommodation plan where you can enjoy BBQ with Wakayama Prefecture's brand beef "Kumano Beef" in a private room space with a tatami room style where you can stretch your legs and relax.
Kumano Beef is a Japanese black-haired brand beef grown in southern Wakayama Prefecture, characterized by fine meat quality, soft texture, and fat umami. It is a rare Japanese beef distributed mainly in Wakayama Prefecture and the Kinki region. In this plan, we offer colorful BBQ menus such as Kumano beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and seasonal grilled vegetables. In addition, it comes with all-you-can-drink alcohol such as draft beer and wine, and soft drinks, so you can relax from toast to after meal. Because it is an indoor venue, you can enjoy BBQ comfortably without being affected by the weather, and you can enjoy meals in a private space only for families and groups to ensure a private room.
