It can be a little bit cold at night and we didn't choose the dinner because it's quite pricey. However, there is a supermarket close to this accomation.

Very nice location from the end of the day 1 hiking. The host is very friendly and nice. The room is very cozy.

All good

Everything was great, specially our host Ike. He was super friendly and offered us a small taste of sake, he even offered to do our laundry. The dinner and breakfast that was prepared was great. Be sure to order the lunchbox since it’s a long way and there’s only 1 place to eat along the way after 3 km. The location was good and the room was clean. Certainly would recommend to anyone.

We stayed here as a stopover during the Kumano Kodo. What a wonderful stay! The futons were very comfortable, there is a common area (with a leg massage machine), and everything is super clean. Ike is the best host you could ask for—super friendly and even helped us retrieve items we accidentally left behind. The okonomiyaki was delicious, and the breakfast and bento box were great as well. Highly recommend!

Ike is a great host. Great dinner for a reasonable price. Breakfast and bento box for lunch on the trek available, both good. We'd visit again and recommend this place to others!

I had a wonderful stay! The room was clean and felt just like home. The host was friendly and incredibly helpful, making our experience even better. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby, though we were unfortunate that the restaurant were closed on Tuesday. If you're looking to grab some food, make sure to arrive at the supermarket before 6 PM. However, I highly recommend dining at the host's place—experiencing home-cooked meals at Kumano was truly magical! Additionally, the host offers lunch boxes, and I was amazed by the presentation! It reminded me of the beautifully arranged meals I often see in anime. Overall, a fantastic experience!

It's never ideal to have just one bathroom for multiple people, but you can't help it at all. Really. I loved my stay there.

This was some of the best food that I got on the trip - the host made dinner right in front of us and was able to accommodate my vegetarianism, which was excellent. I would absolutely stay here again and will recommend to all my friends.

No, it’s all good.

Everything is wonderful! Especially the dinner that the owner made, I think that is the most delicious meal I’ve ever had in this trip 🤤🤤🤤

4 of us traveled together and the upstairs could host 6 people, which meant that we had to share a bathroom with the other two travelers. That is something to consider if your travel party does not like to share bathrooms.

Wago is right off the Kumano Kodo - very convenient. The host was very friendly and attentive(he speaks fluent mandarin and pretty good English). As with most minshukus on the trail, the facility was basic, but comfortable and clean.

Room is a little small, but our suitcase can still fit in. The WiFi is weak, but the owner said he will improve it.

The owner is fluent in Japanese, English and Mandarin and very thoughtful for all guests. The beds are very comfortable.

Nothing - it was a 10/10!

Ike’s hospitality, humour and cooking was brilliant! It was a real joy having beautiful home cooking - the dinner, breakfast and lunchbox were exceptional. And chatting after dinner about food and Japan was really insightful and enjoyable!

It got a little cold at night but that's because I didn't want to run the heater through the night. The A/C and heater work perfectly as I ran them both while I was awake.

The room and facilities was very clean. Ike was very accommodating and friendly and he made my stay a relaxing one.

Location was great, right on the kumano kodo trail. Host was excellent, cooked a great okonomiyaki and was a chance to chat with the other guests. Beds were comfortable and room was spacious.

Would have given it a 9 if it was half the price. For what is essentially a converted garage it is way to expensive

Quiet and comfortable room. Friendly and helpful owner. Right on the Kumano Kodo

Ike is a wonderful host. The four of us like him. He brought us around the place and we communicate with him easily in English. A very tidy and clean place to stay for the night and continue with the Kumano Kodo walk the next morning.
