    Aki the host was very helpful and answered our questions about the Kumano Kodo hike. He is knowledgeable and friendly. He was also kind for us to have a later check out and store our bags there while having lunch before our bus to takijiri. The location is greatt!

    Great accomodation for 1 or two nights. Easy self check in, host arrived shortly after us and introduced himself and was very helpful with advice for the kumano trail and luggage services. Lots of bus timetables and information around for visitors - all in English. The washer and dryer available was great. The room was small but comfortable, great for 2 people. One tiny thing is that the whole room is basically tatami so we were worried about luggage creating damage as there were no mats to put it on but we were just very careful. Easy walk to restaurants & train station. It is an older style of accommodation but very clean. Perfect for our stay, thank you very much!

    Tsukasa house is a great place to stay in Tanabe. Everything you need, including kitchen, washer and dryer, and a desk area. Manager, Aki, couldn’t be more helpful or quick to attend to every need. When I broke the camera protector on my phone, he drove me to the big electronics store and took care of everything for me, then dropped us off to an excellent restaurant for our dinner. It was service above and beyond, so many thanks to Aki for all of his help. Tsukasa house is well placed for local sightseeing.

    It's a Japanese style hostel,around 10 min from Tanabe station by walk. Very clean and cozy. We stayed there in 1st and 3rd night (hiking 2 days and stayed in the other hostel in half way),there's big luggage storage cabinet in this hostel,so that we can leave our suitcases there for free. It's very convenient . The host is friendly,if any questions,we can contact him for help.

    Just as a heads up, the private bathroom was a partial one so the toilet was shared and the shower was private in the room. All fine :)

    Aki was super helpful and took time to help us plan out our Kumano route, even making calls for us to help organise last minute food along the way and letting us keep our luggage there for the walk. The room had what we needed for a good nights sleep before the trek! Good location as well in Tanabe, close to the station and convenience stores and he also made good food recommendations for us. Thank you Aki for going out of your way to make our Kumano walk so much smoother and better :)
