Great hospitality and price! Near for Hongu shrine and bus service. They have "Kumano spirit" to offer a safe welcoming place for Kumano visitors. I really appreciate the staff taking time to share talking with me. This is a guesthouse so you need to prepare and bring your own night ware and food. Some snack food for purchase, but there are not much restaurants open at night, or store. You choose guesthouses with the limited condition.

Everything was perfect, the room was spacious and had a very comfortable queen sized bed, the place was quiet and you can get a good night sleep. The shared facilities are clean and the kitchen is quite big. I enjoyed a beautiful sunset in the porch. The guy working there was super friendly and helpful. A good location if you want to shorten the walk to Hongu.

Right next to the supermarket so we could get ingredients for dinner and breakfast. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Rooms have their own sinks which was a bonus. The room stayed very warm for winter. Really nice views and close to other sightseeing places.

Very homely feeling during our stay in Hongu. Mandy not only made us feel welcome but looked after and took us around as if we were family. She also went out of her way to organise a taxi to find us when we got lost during our hike - without her I am not sure what would've happened. Both home prepped meals were amazing, and the acupuncture service was extremely professional. We really enjoyed this authentic Japanese homestay experience and hope to be back soon!

5 of other pilgrims booked the same hotel which is this one because it is the only one that's open during low season! The owner is incredibly nice and made me feel I wanna move to Japan! This is my first time in this country and the staff here is super friendly and made me feel really home, even better than the 5 star hotels in Osaka. The owner even speaks Chinese and helped me arrange massage. Impeccable. Thank you so much!

- The host Hiroko. She gives personalized attention. She made me feel at home and taken cared of. It was great to make friends with her especially as a foreign solo traveler. - The thoughfully prepared welcome tea, sumptuous dinner, and hearty breakfast to fuel a day's hike. - The room – very cozy. - The bathroom. It has a tub that was good to soak in after a long day of hiking. - Proximity to the grocery store and restaurant.

    Lovely hosts - I arrived drenched & exhausted from finishing my Kumano Kodo hike. They were very helpful with all my wet gear & boots, and (once I was finally dry) recommended local restaurants and onsen.

    Great hostel just meters off the Kumano Kodo trail. Dinner was a tasty and plentiful bento box. Free filter coffee and tea available and good sized sleeping capsules in the dorms. The onsen was also a great bonus!

    Great hostel! Located right along the Kumano Kodo, with great access to hiking. Stayed in the mixed dorm and was very impressed with the size and comfort of the beds. Lots of privacy for a hostel. Everything was clean. Kitchen well equipped. Private onsen access was great as well. Loved our stay here!

    A good hostel, in a good location (though Yunomine onsen is not that big). It had a nice tatami common area that even had a few games provided, such as go. The hostel had its own private hot springs, that are free to use: a lovely outdoor bath, a relatively big indoor bath and a rather small indoor bath. We had booked a private room, not big but fine with three persons. We received bento boxes for dinner and you could grab rice for free. There was also free rice porridge for breakfast. Overall very good value for the price.
