Clean, new, close to bus stop and super market

Good value for money

The host is very helpful and the place is tidy and clean. They are providing laundry services too.

“Overall comfortable and quiet accommodation and facilities”

There's no separate meal plan, but there's a nearby supermarket so you can buy food and cook. The kitchen is fully equipped, the dining table is large, and you can chat with other guests. It's a great option for backpackers. The washer/dryer is well-equipped, and there's a small bathtub in the shower, perfect for a refreshing bath after a long day of walking.

All the spaces were clean and spacious The staff was really helpful

“Good place to stay in between hiking days.”

Host is fantastic, very friendly. Great Supermarket nearby.

“Comfortable”

Everything

“Nice and good guesthouse”

Clean and large room

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.

Hostel style accommodation, common kitchen, nice to talk with other guests. Clean Close to small supermarket.

“Great stay near the historic Kumano Hongu Taisha”

Great housing near Kumano Hongu Taisha. Clean and cozy. Easy check-in. Great views from the windows!

The person in charge was very friendly and communicated efficiently. Nice and quiet place.A supermarket is 50 m from the accommodation and they are open from 9:00-18:00.

“St. James Way feeling on the Kumano Kodo”

The Hatenashi Guesthouse was my last overnight stay on the Kumano Kodo. And I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The accommodation has the feel of a hostel like on the Camino, which is really great. I had a double room, but i think there are also triple rooms for larger groups on the first floor. On the ground floor there are 3 rooms with double beds. There is also a well-equipped kitchen and a laundry room so you can wash your dirty laundry. A supermarket is only few meters away. The Internet is fast and stable. The whole thing felt like a good hostel on the Camino and since I was on a pilgrimage, that was a good fit. It is relatively easy to get back to the Kumano Kodo from the guesthouse. Many people skip the place and go straight to the end point of the pilgrimage. But maybe you just stop here.

“Very nice stay with a great host that helped us terrifically!”

We forgot an e-reader and found out in the evening. The host found it for us and then brought it, 30 minutes away to our new location, at 10:30 pm! Excellent service. Also, in the location the is a shared place to cook and eat. We met nice people there!
