Sunshine Hotel ★★

"The dry cleaning machine is free, the breakfast is good, a little bit old-fashioned, and it is also very close to the station, within 5-10 minutes"

Hotel Newpalace ★★★

"This hotel has a fantastic location as it is near to the Shingu station and the other key places of interests like the Hongu Taisha, Kumano Hayatama Taisha, Asuka Jinja Shrine and the Shingu Castle Ruin. Of course food and cafe are everywhere and some near the hotel. There is a nice cafe across the Jo to the left known as Tanpuku and a nice local Japanese home-cooked food restaurant know as Masaya. There are washing machines for use at 200¥. Some not so good areas are: 1. You can only have service or attention at 3pm. 2. No free coffee, tea or soft drinks (like Komenoi and Dormy Inn) 3. Drinking water is only from the tap. 4. Small Onsen pool that is rectangular in size for about 10-12 pax max. Check out my other reviews and you shall find some good recommendations for authentic Japanese cuisines. Ye"

Takada Greenland Kumotori Onsen ★★

"This hotel is a good distance from the Kumano Kodo, but is really the only place to stay at this point in the journey. The staff were professional and kind, but did not answer the phone when we called to be picked up, so we ended up having to pay for a taxi ourselves. The onsen baths were also not working, but they gave us a discount for this and drove us to another hotel which provided a great experience. The village around the hotel is a beautiful place for a stroll in the evening."

Shingu UI Hotel ★★★

"Good experience overall. The rooms are clean, well-maintained & comfortable though a bit dated. The city-center location is great and put us right where we needed to be."

SEN.HAVEN NAKAMURA ★★★

Gran Hotel ★★★

"The quilt is a little yellow and has bugs"

MarketStay shingu ★★

"The room was new and very clean, no issues. But be aware: it has a shared bathroom and toilet. It was fine for me, as I was staying alone, but it was a bit inconvenient to use the restroom at night. If you're using the bathroom with a large group, you need to schedule shower times in advance; they're posted on a board. The kitchen and dining room are quite unique and fully functional, making them perfect for a group of friends. Downstairs is a supermarket owned by the same owner, and the room also includes a 10% discount coupon for unlimited use. Each room also offers free bicycle rentals. Overall, it's a good experience, but be sure to learn how to use the shared facilities in advance."

Ajito Hostel & CafeBar ★★

"Completely self-service check-in, no front desk or staff."

Kokoyui Guesthouse Shingu ★★★

"Still like it"
