This guesthouse is located in a peaceful spot on the river. It is a 3 minute walk to the supermarket which has a good variety of foods for cooking or snacking on during hiking. I stayed here when doing part of the kumano kodo and I found it in a good location for this purpose.

“Fun stay in a great location.”

Great location.

“Great for the Kumano. Be sure to go the little shops before they close.”

Good location. Small cozy guesthouse - typical rural Japanese style and setting,

“Don't book this - appearances are deceiving”

The futon were comfortable and the woman who cooked meals did an amazing job.

“Really enjoyed our night here. It's a comfortable place to stay with very comfortable beds upstairs.”

Situated directly across the road from the river and a short walk to the local supermarket. The beds upstairs were very comfortable and you can hear the birds (Hawks?) flying near the water. We walked in whilst hiking the Kumano Kodo trail. Make sure you swim in the river if you've hiked in. The supermarket just down the road is amazing!

It was great having the whole place to ourselves. We loved the heater under the table, it was lovely and cosy. Our host was very friendly and helpful.

“Good value for Kohechi trail walkers”

Perfect location at the Kohechi trail. Enough space for the seven of us. Good supermarket nearby. Friendly owner.

“Improve or close”

A house with potential, if only the hosts would make a little more effort.

“Spacious but unfinished”

Spacious guesthouse, pleasant view from upstairs window, comfortable futon and pillow. Fresh quality coffee beans and local green tea were provided. The owner checked in each evening. Shoe dryer, fully stocked kitchen, plenty of hot water and other facilities also there.

“Simple budget guesthouse”

Very spacious, simple, and peaceful budget guesthouse. Good kitchen and across road from small supermarket, so is good for budget travellers. The host was very friendly and helpful. He speaks English. Nice 50 minute walk on Kumano Kodo to/from Hongu village.

Lovely host, plenty of room, good location.

“A beautiful property, traditional style cedar floor and walls, very comfortable and relaxing space. Eco conscious owners”

A beautiful property, traditional style cedar floor and walls, very comfortable and relaxing space. Eco conscious ownership with a great compostable toilet system, which was very hygienic. It’s set in a great location for visiting Onsens, walking trails and exploring the area. Convenient location to the supermarket and bus stop.
