The private onsen in the guesthouse were amazing, especially the outdoor one. Right on the Kumano Kodo. 3 min from bus stop. The Bento boxes for dinner were varied and tasty. The room was so comfortable and warm. Right next to the world UNESCO onsen which is a cool experience.

Very cozy spot on the river bank. Ease of access to kumano kodo trail. We did the Hongu loop trail leaving from here, hiking to Hongu-taisha, then bus to Yunomine Onsen, and then hike the rest of the loop from there. Awesome experience!

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.

The surroundings and the preserved house was quiet, exquisite and comfortable. There are only 2 bedrooms in the house and guests are given free access to the living and dining room. The manager Hitomi and Hikaru speak very good English and were hospitable and personable. Gave my plasters for my muscle aches and helped to wash my clothes and delivered to my room within 30min. The provided breakfast was delicious. The back house also holds a treasure trove of old books and is more relaxed.

Amazing place to stay if you are doing the Kumano Kodo trail. Clean, simple, has everything you need and the staff is lovely! very Japanese style and cool place full of music instruments. They gave me a delicious dinner for free and the food was very good. Was just the experience I was looking for in this path.

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.
