The location is very good. Very close to the Train station. You can search "Kitchen Tomtom Shingu" in Google Map then you can find the guest house. The guest house is very new, clean and comfortable. Seiko San is very nice. She would try her best to let you know everything even you don't know Japanese, but if you know a little bit Japaness, that would be perfect. It is your best choice when traveling in Shingu.

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! 🌟

We were blown away over how great Ajito Hostel was! We couldn’t believe it is a hostel. The quality was far above a good hotel! The place was so neat, beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable and with so many services like free coffee, local fruit, water and fresh bed every day! Everything seemed brand new. It was truly the best place we’ve stayed on our trip through Japan so far. We highly recommend staying here!

Amazing guesthouse! Very Japanese style countryside guesthouse. Very delicious traditional Japanese home-style dinner and breakfast. If you wanna visit Koyasan but do not want to live in the temple, definitely a perfect choice! The host is very kind and offer free pick-up service from hashimoto station and drop-off service in the morning at Koyasan. He knows very well about the history and the tour guide of Koyasan. He gives me a very detailed introduction to Koyasan and helps me to drop off luggage in the station as well.

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.

Tommy is a great host! The room was very clean, bigger than japsn standards and had everything you need on vacation. Tommy gave us a lot of useful info so that we managed to attened the fire cerimony and the chanting cerimony all for free. If i ever go back to Koyasan, I'll book this accomodation again.

Comfortable room and great hosts. Incredibly helpful to us even after we checked out and returned to collect our left bags soaking wet after getting caught in the rain. Our host provided towels and heating for us to dry out and warm up. The restaurant was great as well. Highly recommend.

The host was very friendly. He shared homemade plum wine with us, which was super delicious, and he also provided us with some oranges. He also gave us route guidance and shared the bus schedule with us. What I liked most was that the host picked us up from Tanabe Station and sent us from the homestay to Takijiri the next day, so we saved the bus fare.
