Whole space was clean and very nice, comfortable to be in. The private onsen was experience and a bonus to choose from 3 (2indoors and 1outdoor) was very highlight. The kichen is well organised and clean.

Amazing Guest House Experience – Highly Recommended! I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this guest house, and it exceeded all my expectations! 1️⃣ Perfect Location: The guest house is right next to Kii-Nagashima Station and sits directly on the Kumano Kodo trail, making it an ideal choice for hikers. You can start your trek right from the doorstep—so convenient! 2️⃣ Delicious Meals: The host prepares incredible meals! The lunch box (bento) was especially great for taking on the hike—tasty, filling, and packed with energy. Breakfast and dinner were also fantastic! 3️⃣ Thoughtful Hospitality: Since it was the rainy season, my shoes got completely soaked. The host kindly dried them for me using a dryer—such a considerate gesture that made a huge difference! 4️⃣ Great Sake & Umeshu: During dinner, the host shared some amazing sake and umeshu (plum wine). Both were delicious, especially the umeshu—sweet and smooth, a perfect way to unwind after a long hike. 5️⃣ Easy Communication: The host speaks both English and Chinese and even uses WeChat, which made communication effortless. As a Chinese speaker, I really appreciated this! 6️⃣ Perfect Stay Overall: Everything—from the cozy room to the food, drinks, and hospitality—was outstanding. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would 100% recommend it to anyone hiking the Kumano Kodo. If you’re planning a trip to the Kumano Kodo, don’t miss this guest house—it will make your journey even more memorable! 🌟

Perfect for either arriving late from the airport, or leaving early the following morning. A very fair price, very good hosts. Simple but effective and extremely good value for money when compared to Japan as a whole. Convenient and simple.

Super Friendly staff inglish speaking, the girl at check-in was super nice and welcoming. The place is clean and in a well located. Common space are good and it also a bar and pub open at 6pm and create nice vibes with locals come to drink something. So if you want you can easily connect with people. At the end that's a the place if you want to chill a little bit outside big city life.

Lovely hosts - I arrived drenched & exhausted from finishing my Kumano Kodo hike. They were very helpful with all my wet gear & boots, and (once I was finally dry) recommended local restaurants and onsen.

Great hostel just meters off the Kumano Kodo trail. Dinner was a tasty and plentiful bento box. Free filter coffee and tea available and good sized sleeping capsules in the dorms. The onsen was also a great bonus!

Beautiful property perched in the mountains near the start of the Kumano Kodo trail. Simon and his wife were great hosts providing a shuttle up to their house and then again to the start of the trail. The room was traditional and beautifully finished and we even sampled some homemade plum wine!

Quaint, clean and as expected for a humble Japanese homestay. The host was exceptionally helpful and sweet and offered local recommendations and shopping tips. They are right next door to a bicycle rental and I took full advantage and biked all over Kyoto. 7 mins walk away is the underground food mall. Having a laundry machine came in handy! It was air dry only during the time I was there and my clothes dried overnight.
