We stayed here for a night during a 3 day hike, and this hostel style hotel exceeded our expectation. The bento box for dinner was better than expected. The porridge in the morning was great, especially with the extra toppings provided with it. Even the coffee included was much appreciated. We had a private room, and it met all our needs. The onsens were great! 3 are there and never seemed to be busy…I recommend the outside one. Location is also ideal…only a 2 minute walk to the town Onsen. We usually like to stay in 3 star hotels or better seeing we are not hostel type people anymore, but we would stay here again, and I would recommend this place to anyone.

A bit minimalistic (shared bathroom and restroom) but otherwise very friendly, clean, with standard set of amenities (TV, WiFi, refrigerator) for this type of hotels. If you are doing hiking and have to stay for a night, this place has almost unbeatable price. Highly recommend.

While it is a 15min walk from town, it is a great cooldown and worth the additional effort. The space is comfortable, spacious, has enough bedding and a nice teapot and some tea for you to make in your room. The WiFi is fantastic and the room even has a fridge. The onsen was perfect after the hike and is high on mineral content to refuel and refresh sore muscles. Room also came with a lengthy extension cord with 6 outlets and a private bathroom. Now the absolute highlight of my stay was the food! The dinner was tasty and abundant. The dashi was my favorite but really everything was delicious. When you book, be sure to add dinner and breakfast. While I left too early before breakfast, they were very accommodating and packed it up for me! Highly recommend.

Kumano: Save yourself this at the end of the kumano kodo. I have rarely counted so many negative points, especially in Japan where most of the time the establishments have a level of service unrivaled in the world (from 1 to 5 stars) 1. the upstream discussions were complicated, too directive. 2. On arrival the man of the house shakes hands with my companion but not with me (this immediately puts you at ease) 3. At the end of a 30 km hike we were hoping for an onsen or a hot bath , otherwise the owner rushes us to eat because the meal was planned (by him)! at a certain time. He knew that we had walked a lot and could have adapted a little, especially since this region is popular for hiking. We had not been warned of the dinner time but we had been informed of the progress of our trekking as it progressed, so no surprises. 4. Homemade meal okay but 65 euros per person is way too much and three thin slices of wagyu beef do not justify doubling the price of the simple menu. 5. During the meal, the owner only spoke to the next table. Great for feeling good. 6. No soundproofing, we suffered from the conversations of our indelicate neighbor until midnight. I had to go and ask him to do his videoconference elsewhere. 7. “We booked for a deluge triple room with sea view, we ended up with a room with a view of the parking lot! 8. Out of all the establishments we visited, this is the first time that there is no bottle of water in the room! 9. No curtain or shutters. 10. Wake up at 4:30 a.m. to a concerto of roosters (and turkeys) crowing. I have no problem with nature but frankly I don't want to be next to a barnyard when I'm doing a demanding trail and sleep is a decisive issue. I would have at least liked to have been warned of this in the hotel presentation sheet. 11. Being in the heart of the mountains and having no view is really a very negative point. Especially when you open the sliding walls and come across a stock of tables! 12. Shuttle to the hotel and to the station 20 euros. The main access road was closed by a landslide (which we were only warned about yesterday!) but it is we who are suffering the consequences. We have stayed in around 30 establishments in Japan but this is the first time we have been charged for a shuttle. Kumano Kodo is a beautiful region and I am very sad to end my stay on this negative note. Positive mention all the same: the owner's wife, extraordinarily kind and really very efficient. It would be better if she was the one serving rather than putting her to do the dishes!

The room was very clean. The landlady was kind and could communicate in Chinese using a translation software. I ordered her breakfast for 800 yen and it was very comfortable. I didn’t know what to choose from the meal. I just ate what she made and I was very satisfied. This B&B can pick you up from the station. I don’t speak Japanese, so I can only walk there. When I left, she drove me to the station. I liked it very much! The bus runs twice a day, and it’s difficult to take a taxi. The pick-up and drop-off is very pleasant.

A great family hot spring hotel. I originally planned to book the Green House Shanshui Hotel, but later I found out that this hotel was much cheaper and had great reviews. Take the bus directly from Hongu Taisha Shrine. You can walk 300m from Yukawa Onsen or get off at the next stop (Picture 8), which is closer. The boss speaks English very well and has no problem communicating. The house is very clean. There are two private hot springs where you can take a bath. You can dig a wild hot spring at the door. You can easily grab a shovel, swimming ring and slippers. There is a large restaurant on the first floor. I forgot to make a reservation for dinner, so I ordered a meal at last minute. It was very delicious and reasonably priced, especially the bear bison, which you must try.

Great accommodation and experience, the enthusiastic owner and the delicious food in the owner’s barbecue restaurant made this trip even better
