Guesthouse Hatenashi - Vacation STAY 43938v is set in Hongu, 37 km from Kamikura Shrine, 38 km from Kumano Hayatama Taisha, as well as 39 km from Shingu Castle Ruins Park.

Simple and sufficient. Comfortable bed, sheets and bathroom clean, kitchen fully equipped. Though we checked in late in the evening, owner contacted and informed us of key access. When we came back fr a hike in a heavy downpour, the owner took out a shoe dryer! It was such a great help as it saved us from wearing soggy shoes the next day. Can't thank him enough. Allowed us to leave luggage at common area for a few hours on checkout day. Rooms have a view of a river and hills. Supermarket a minute's walk away.

NONAGASE GUEST HOUSE, a property with a garden, is situated in Chikatsuyu, 300 metres from Kumanokodo Nakahechi Museum of Art, 29 km from Kamitonda Concert Hall, as well as 31 km from Hosshinmon Oji...

Due to limited availability when I booked, Nonagase ended up being a bit fancier than my usual accommodation choices – but I certainly didn’t regret it! The building and rooms were absolutely stunning, and they even have a lovely little beer garden. The staff were perfect as well. I’d highly recommend staying here!

山の家 Harumoni is located in Tanabe, 30 km from Hosshinmon Oji Shrine, 32 km from Tanabe City Museum of Art, and 34 km from Kozan-ji Temple.

Such a lovely host! We were greeted with tea after a long day hiking. The dinner and breakfast prepared for us was such an amazing feast. Really close to the bus stop and from the general kumano trail. The room was modern, bright, and cosy. Very quiet and peaceful too. Would highly recommend

    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!

    The location was convenient and quiet, you could hear the stream of water. It was vibrant and full of like-minded backpackers looking after themselves and facilities which stayed clean throughout the stay. The outdoor onsen of the hostel was delightful.

    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!

    Our host Manabu is very hospitable, and ensures everything is going well for your visit. We enjoyed the location, 10 .minutes walk to fabulous onsen, quiet rural village. There is a small minimalist for groceries, Okagesan yakitoria run by Manabu san, and the cafe at the onsen for meals.

    We had a very comfortable stay at this humble guesthouse. The host was very sweet. The common area is nice and cozy. The location was great, close to the public bath house.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This traditional Japanese house is very well looked after and is in a great location, and within walking distance of two onsen. Manabu is a great host, even delivering handmade rice balls each morning. We also ate at his restaurant which was very good. Highly recommended.

    We loved the house and all its features. It was like living in a real Japanese home. Great location. Peaceful and quiet. Fantastic and helpful host. We had a great meal at his yakitori restaurant. And he even left some lovely rice balls for us to have for breakfast the following day even though meals were not included.
