This was the best value for money stay I had this trip. Highly recommend opting for dinner to be included with your stay. The steamed vegetables and meat with rice and soup was a sumptuous, healthy yet delicious meal especially at the end of a day's big hike. The dorm beds were comfortable, and it was a really nice luxury to get a private onsen experience (especially the outdoor one). Though there was no convenience store around, the hostel has a very good range of snacks, instant noodles, buns at good prices so you don't have to worry about not having food around.

Guesthouse Okagesan is a lovely traditional house converted into a traveler's inn located in Watase, an onsen town deep in Wakayama's Kumano Kodo region. Watarase Onsen, the largest in western Japan, is about a 15-minute walk from the guesthouse. I was pleasantly surprised how well-supplied this accommodation is, and even small traditional Japanese snacks were provided. There were also discount vouchers for visits to the Watarase Onsen (be aware that vouchers are only usable from 8am onwards). Overall, I love how cozy and comfortable I felt during my stay. The best part was the superb hospitality of its owner, Manabu-san. He is very helpful, friendly and has a great sense of humor! His playful and creative personality is reflected in the guesthouse. Make sure to check his yakitori place which serves delicious local specialties! What I appreciate the most is the delicious and filling onigiri breakfast he prepared before I left! It even came with a hand-written note of gratitude. As a foreign resident of Japan who has traveled quite extensively around the country, Wakayama is a lovely out-of-the-radar destination and my visit was made memorable and extra special by Guesthouse Okagesan.

Perfect location, close to the bus stop, Kumano Kodo and Hongu Taisha. Places to eat and Cafes are a short walk away as well as a Post Office which has ATMs. The house is a home from home, well equipped, comfortable, nicely designed and clean. There is a hot and cold water station in the kitchen as well as a stock of snacks, carefully selected catering for all tolerances. There is even a separate laundry room, where I quite happily washed and dried. What sets this place from the rest is the consideration that has gone into everything to ensure that your stay is as comfortable and as pleasant as possible, which in it self, reflects the thoughtfulness and kindness of the host. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Absolutely gorgeous house, spotless clean, yet a “lived in” family house all possible amenities, appliances and utensils. The pictures are correct - you have your own view of the largest torii in Japan, presiding over rice fields. In the centre of Hongu, close to a few local eateries and 300mm from the visitor centre, bus stop and on the crossroads of the Kumano trails. We were concerned that there would ne noise from the adjacent road but the town is so quaint that that wasn’t not the case at all. We have spent two weeks travelling Japan with family and this was hands down the best place and we all regretted we didn’t stay longer. Thoroughly recommended.

I did not stay in Hongu but spent time there when I stayed at Yunomine Onsen and visited the Hongu Taisha mae Shrine. It is a small town with some nice restaurants, small shops, and the main bus stop for the area.

part of the kumano kodo must do destination !

part of the kumano kodo must do destination ! it is a wonderful location with the shrine, a zen building of the heritage center and the torii gate, which also act as a bus stop too. The bus system is inadequate for so many visitors. I understand it is in a rural part of the Japanese town, but i am sure the bus company can regulate and insert a couple more bus departures during peak time. Surely they would have collected a historical data of peak passengers timing by now since this kumano kodo has been around for so long. So that it can provide a better service for the hikers

Hongu, Watarase, Kawayu & the surrounding area is hands down one of THE almighty best in Japan — and Japan has lots of amazing places. it's very easy to spend 3 days or more based out of this area & then driving around to amazing waterfalls, ravines, hot springs, cultural spots, mountain vistas, abandoned elementary school, etc. etc. unbeaten japan can take you there so do not hesitate to reach out.

Beautiful farming town, with a few scattered shops to ease hunger. Local shop owners were accommodating and kind. City tourism center was closed but the bathroom remained open for guests. We were only passing through to Koguchi but it was a charming stop.
