It was 3rd day when my wife and I are hiking KUMANO KODO. After 6 and half hour hiking and 20 minutes bus, we arrived at Watarase Onsen Hotel Sasayuri around 5pm. At checking counter, we found that I booked wrong day - one day late….. However service person rearranged room and dinner for us within less than half hour. Their traditional Japanese service and food are amazing and forgettable. I will be for sure coming back when I revisit this area.

Stayed for two consecutive days. The hotel staff was very friendly and could communicate in English. No matter what the problem was, they were very enthusiastic and tried their best to help you solve it.
1. There is a free shuttle bus to Hoshinmon Prince Shrine and Hongu Taisha Shrine every day. In addition, the front desk can arrange a free shuttle bus from the hotel to the bus station.
2. You can ask the front desk to arrange for your large luggage to be sent to the next hotel (hotels that are too far away may need to pay a small fee, but hotels that are very close are free)
3. You can ask the front desk to prepare a lunch box
4. The family's private bath is very clean and comfortable. When no one is around, you can request a private bath.
The dinner food was delicious! A highly recommended hotel!

What a great experience! A more traditional Japanese hot spring hotel, everything is arranged very well. The location is also very good, the bus station is right next to it, very close.

This is one of the onsen hotels of the same group in Watarase onsen - used to be one of three, now it’s one of two since they closed the third one. Sasayuri is the nicer one and it’s a classic onsen hotel with large rooms and the usual public bath amenities. You have to call the hotel in advance to book the free shuttle pick up (15 min away) from Hongu Taisha mae bus stop which is convenient for those walking the Kumano Kodo and/touring the Hongu Taisha. Excellent service from reception staff to restaurant staff to driver. We organised luggage shuttle delivery (another company called Torii) and the hotel reception were great in making sure our bag was rightly labelled. They also helped us with getting small change for our bus fare. Food was good - not outstanding if I’m being picky as compared to other onsen hotels; but plentiful and delicious. The only area of improvement for dinner serving staff to serve up the dishes in a better order - eg let us finish the sashimi first before serving the hot dishes. The hotel has a public indoor bath. For outdoor onsen baths you can use the ones in the neighbouring (same chain) hotel which is a short 5 min walk via a connecting suspension footbridge. Rooms are very spacious, slightly dated but that’s the vibe of most onsen hotels in Japan anyway. Free coffee in the lobby. WiFi was good. Overall great location to stay for those doing the Kumano Kodo hike. I would give this a 3.5 out of 5, but TripAdvisor doesn’t allow half points.

I used it for a driving trip to visit Kumano Taisha with my husband. This is a wonderful hotel with the largest open-air bath in western Japan (many types) and private open-air baths (there are also many, so it seems unlikely that you will be unable to rent one). Both dinner and breakfast are adequate and tasty. To reach the private open-air bath, you need to go outside and walk over a suspension bridge for about 5 minutes. It's a little inconvenient, but it was beautiful with illumination at night.
