2026 Susami Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

Here’s a quick guide to exploring the chilled-out coast of Susami, Wakayama, with my recommended hotel base for easy seaside adventures 🏝️ Top Spot to Visit: Susami-Tuzumi Wakayama Susami Checking in is a breeze at Tuzumi Wakayama Susami (Address: 859 Esumi, Nishimuro District)—you’ll wake to ocean views and that pure sea air! Wake up early to wander the beaches, or stroll along the coast for sunrise photos nobody else on your feed will have. If you’re into incredibly fresh seafood, Susami town is famous for its local catches—head to a neighborhood seaside restaurant for juicy sashimi or a simple fish rice bowl. Lots of places here source straight from the local fishermen; you can taste the difference. Travel Tip: The area is best accessed by local train—look up JR Susami Station for the easiest route, then just a brief taxi or bus to your hotel. If you rent a car, you’ll have access to stunning nearby coastal drives and waterfalls, too. Getting around Susami is super chill—walk, rent a bike, or hitch a ride with the local bus for must-visit views and easy-access eats. Don’t forget, most small shops and restaurants around Susami prefer cash over cards, so hit up an ATM before heading out for the day! Best time to visit? Spring or early autumn for mild weather and great coastal snaps. #WakayamaAdventures #Susami #JapaneseSeaside #TravelTips #tripdotcom

"BUSH DE COFFEE", located in Susami Town, Wakayama Prefecture, is a cafe and restaurant boasting spectacular panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean🍽️✨ While they serve up freshly baked pizzas🍕 and pasta, we just stopped by for coffee this time. With the stunning view from the window and an unbelievably cute interior✨, along with the chance to choose from their freshly baked cakes, it made for a highly satisfying cafe break☕️✨ From the spacious, glass-walled dining area and the terrace seats, you can take in the views of "Lovers' Cape" and the beautiful ocean. Be sure to drop by if you're ever heading out to the Wakayama area!

#japanhotel Tucked away in the tranquil landscapes of Wakayama, Nanki Susanti Onsen Hotel offers a peaceful retreat that blends traditional Japanese hospitality with modern comfort. From the moment you arrive, the calming atmosphere and warm set the tone for a restorative stay. The highlight of the hotel is its natural onsen, where mineral rich hot spring waters soothe both body and mind while overlooking scenic coastal views. The rooms are elegantly designed with tatami flooring and minimalist décor, creating an authentic ryokan experience. Every detail, from the soft futon bedding to the delicate tea sets, reflects thoughtful craftsmanship. Dining is equally memorable, featuring seasonal kaiseki cuisine prepared with fresh local ingredients, offering a true taste of Japan. What makes this hotel stand out is its quiet charm and personalized service. It’s an ideal destination for travelers seeking relaxation, cultural immersion, and a break from the fast pace of city life.

This is a cozy little hotel. It's incredibly clean, and the staff are all polite and friendly. It has such a welcoming vibe that you'd almost think it's family-run. The 24-hour coffee service, microwave, and kitchenette are lifesavers. They were very accommodating even when we checked in late. They also sell items you can easily prepare in the kitchenette, like bread, ramen, rice, Wakayama plums, mandarin orange juice, alcoholic beverages, and snacks. The place is exceptionally clean. However, since it isn't a Japanese hotel (it's a major international chain), the amenities are kept to a minimum. Everything is very basic, and the beds felt unusually high. The hot spring was quite clean. The amenities there were also minimal and basic. This is unavoidable, but there were stink bugs around, and the smell near the entrance was pretty strong. You can take a walk along the coast right from the hotel, and there is a "Michi-no-Eki" (roadside station) right next door. A Lawson convenience store is also just a stone's throw away.

TUZUMI, a villa with a natural hot spring open-air bath in Susami, Wakayama🏨🌊 A place for self-reflection, the luxury of doing nothing, blending with nature, soaking in high-quality hot spring water, and enjoying the delicious seafood. Perfect for relaxing in nature!✨👍 The open-air bath was so beautiful that we went in multiple times. The sunsets were amazing, and in the evening we had a barbecue using Wakayama ingredients.🍖 There's a roadside station nearby, so apparently you can buy ingredients there and use them for a barbecue.✨ I was surprised by how delicious the breakfast was. It was the ultimate Japanese meal! It was packed with Wakayama ingredients, and I really appreciated the attention to detail.🍊 There's a sauna (reservations required), and at night we had a campfire.🔥 The starry sky was incredibly beautiful. I highly recommend this inn.😌 #wakayamatrip #susamitourism #tuzumiwakayamas #villa #roomwithopen-airbath

Continue your trip to Wakayama Prefecture, I checked it out before. The reason for the high consistency of Fairfield Inn Japan is that Marriott has reached a cooperation with Japan's Sekisui Construction to create a series of hotels with the goal of finding some niche treasure travel spots as selling points. No wonder the locations of these maples in Japan are so great. It turns out that they are all specially designed. So following Wanfeng's location selection to check in some special small cities is also a different flavor. This time I came to an unmanned station, Susami-cho. You can see Lawson on the seaside when you exit the station. It is quite impressive after sunset. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the station. There are basically no taxis, and there are only a few buses a day. Google Maps can be used. The front desk is completely incomprehensible in English. The local translator they are equipped with is inexplicably useful. Susami-cho is originally a small seaside town. This hotel almost covers everything that ordinary tourists can do here. Stare at the sea and soak in the hot springs. If you want to stroll around, you can go to the nearby Kushimotomachi, Shirahama, and the further Shingu. It has seaside hot springs, natural landscapes and world heritage sites.

I went on a trip to Nachikatsuura in Wakayama! It was a 5 hour drive from Shin-Osaka, it was too far so I took a break at Susami on the way. I had a raw shirasu bowl, which is limited to 5 servings per day! There was also a #hot spring next door. I had to hold off because I was going to Hotel Urashima later today. The raw shirasu bowl was really delicious! #gourmet #autumntrip #hotspring

This roadside station has everything: souvenir shops, restaurants, a fish market, and hot springs. It's on the coast, so the location is great. Right in front of you is "Esuzaki," a national natural monument, and the view is amazing. Address: 808-1, Ezumi, Susami-cho, Nishimuro-gun, Wakayama Prefecture, 649-3142 #Wakayama #Hot springs #Photogenic spots
