Set within 500 metres of Tanabe Ogigahama Beach and less than 1 km of Sankozaki Beach, Ichie offers rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Tanabe.

I had a lovely stay at Ichie café, the traditional house is old yet gorgeous, with a view on a wonderful Japanese garden. The walls are of course quite thin, hopefully, the place only has two rooms so the noise is kept to a minimum. I had the nice surprise of discovering Ichie café baked fresh chiffon cakes and packed it so we could take them with us on our way to Kumano kodo. And it was delicious!! Thanks again, I would easily come back !

Boasting mountain views, 旅籠まさら HATAGO MaSaRa offers accommodation with a garden, a terrace and a bar, around 13 km from Kumanokodo Nakahechi Museum of Art.

One of the best places I’ve stayed in a long, long time Guesthouse is beautiful, very comfortable and extremely well-designed Owners are very friendly, welcoming and attentive. All the little details are taken care of - whether it’s the little spoons for stirring your coffee, or the olives served alongside dinner, or the thicker toilet paper (so many places in Japan use 1-ply!), or the yukata jacket provided because it was so cold. Or the fact they make an effort to cater to guests’ dietary requests, AND serve a Western-style meal for dinner because they know after many days in Japan, foreign guests might want something a bit more familiar to their palate. Just such a thoughtful place all around

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

Very close to train station, and very friendly host. The room was spacious and we were glad about the heater as it gets pretty cold at night. The kitchen seemed well stocked.

    We arrived at the guest house after walking our first day in the Kumano Kodo. We had delicious meals! One of the highlights was the Okonomiyaki! Everything was prepared with love.The host is very kind and speaks English, so we could have a very nice conversation. Thank you for having such beautiful details during our stay as part of our honeymoon :)

    I arrived late in the evening by train and I was happy that the guesthouse is so close to the train station. The host was very friendly. Everything was very clean and I slept like a baby because it's a very quiet place.

    This was in a great location with wonderful hosts. We enjoyed the communal meals immensely and had the best packed lunch of our trip. The meals were home cooked with local ingredients.The host explained the origins of all the dishes and went out of his way to provide a comfortable and enjoyable stay. This guest house is newly renovated with very good facilities for bathing, a communal kitchen, a dining area and new beds and bedding.

    Great location across from train/bus station. Quiet, I think because it was a holiday, few people in the hostel, and downstairs bar was closed. Comfortable bed. Clean. Juan checked us in, very friendly, but no staff around after 4pm.

    Really nice place to stay, inside of an old house that serves as a coffee shop during daytimes. Miyumi is a great host and speaks English, so we chatted a bit about our Kumano Kodo trail and she gave us some tips. For breakfast she made us some delicious sponge cake to bring with us on our hike! It's a very quiet area and in walking distance from the station, so very convenient all around.
