The food was amazing! We had an excellent breakfast before walking the Kumono Kodo trail and the lunch bento box was delicious as well.
Nice smell of incense on arrival. The dining room was very cool with alot of American memorabilia. I love the saloon doors that lead to the bathroom.
Really close to kii tanabe and Isakyas as well.

The host was excellent, he called a few accom places ahead of our kimono kodo trail to ensure they had availability, he was extremely helpful. The bunks were clean and spacious for hostel bunks. Cute little balcony at the top for a drink too.

I got here dusty and tired after a long backwards Kumano-Kodo with an extra day walking from Takajiri-oji to the winery. I was very glad the walk here was my final day and would recommend it as such for any other backward pilgrims. It was considerably harder to navigate the trail than the Nakahechi route and at times very steep - there's one section where you have to pull yourself up with a knotted rope attached to a tree. It is not a well travelled path at all but it was peaceful and beautiful and I'm glad I gave the day to the walk. (I started in Takahara at kiri-no-sato, so the day was down to Takajiri-oji and then back up. My map was in Japanese but the woman in the tourist bureau was very helpful. Yes you do have to walk up the steepest path at the start, not the road - (it feels like a storm drain) - and then there's a tiny tiny way into the trees otherwise you end up in someone's backyard.)
I just wanted a boozy drink, and all the food I could eat. I was not disappointed on either front. I was fed in my room and it was an expensive meal before the booze, and all the more expensive as I was thirstier than I needed to be. Incredible Valpolicella red wine imported by the host from Italy, priced reasonably but you pay for what you get.
It really is a GUEST HOUSE. You are in their house. They are making an incredible thing though, farming as they can, hosting as they can around it, employing locals, making this obscure part of an old Kumano-Kodo into a really positive place either to gather before you start or to decompress when you are finished.

A beautiful well renovated traditional Japanese house. The host was very friendly and helpful to plan our trips and hike on Kumano Kodo. The breakfast at the café was delicious. We will stay here on our next visit. A wonderful experience!

The house is located in a charming village and was an incredibly comfortable stay. Communication with our host was great and the breakfast with the delicious bagels she had provided was exactly what we needed to continue our journey fully recharged.

Staff was able to provide information clearly and was fluent in English. He was also very kind to pick us up from the train station for free. He also provided suggestions for sight seeing and restaurants. Highly recommend the accommodation due to the service and facilities.

Tanabe was our starting point for our Kumano Kodo trek so we stayed in Tanabe only one day not realizing how much there is to do in Tanabe. If we ever come to Tanabe again, we will be sure to stay longer to enjoy all that there is to do there. I think we could have stayed a whole week if we weren't going on our trek.

Having visited Japan so many times, this trip was probably the best of all. I followed the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage and experienced both the people, the culture and the religion of ancient Japan. I spent in total about 4 days walking and all of the accommodations (family run b&b and a hot spring hotel) was all very clean, with tasty food and friendly people. I'd love to go back again and experience the other less famous trails of the same region.
The host is really friendly and the cost is a good value and very reasonable. It’s about a 10 minute walk from Kii-Tanabe Station, so it’s pretty convenient. This accommodation is great for foreigners because the host is also foreign and speaks English! The rooms are clean and comfortable. The front door is always unlocked, so you can come and go as you please. There are also no check-out procedures, so you can just leave the property in the morning whenever you want easily. There’s also a kitchen that you have full use of.
Simon was a wonderful host. He tried to help us have the best experience possible on our Kumano Kodo. Is also just a lovely human. The accommodation is in the most gorgeous place, because it was not in a central location. Simon works very hard to shuttle his guests to and from Tanabe and the trailhead. The house itself is beautiful and we enjoyed talking to him and learning about his small village of 70 people.
Insuperable location along the kumano kodo, steps away from an open-air onsen on the riverside surrounded by nature, for a relaxing bath after a day of hiking. We stayed in a traditional japanese room, with private AC. Bathrooms/toilets are shared but well tended to. The owner is very kind and helpful. We tried their bento lunch boxes, which were perfect to take out for the day and also very tasty.
The location is perfect, just at the entrance of the village after the long hike, and right across the bus stop. The room is new and clean. Ike-san speaks good English and Mandarin and enjoys conversations with guests. The cooking is fun. Recommend to order the meal service since most restaurants close early and require reservations. Overall a great immersion experience on the Kumano Kodo.
A lovely, comfortable, clean, and cozy place in great location when walking the kumano kodo-
The beds are comfortable, the shower has good strong and warm water pressure. The house was very well equipped with everything we needed. Surrounded by rice fields and the lovely village. The owner is a great cook, her food was delicious. She was very kind and helpful.
Close to the station and countless izakayas. This place has a very homely feel like we were at grandmas house. Aki san offered to pick us up from the station which was very generous. He also gave us suggestions on where to eat and where to go for our Kumano Kodo hike. English friendly.
Really nice coffee shop, perfect place for any people who wants to see how traditional Japanese house looks like.
The personal could also speak English, which is really convenient.
And the cakes for the breakfast were amazing.
I highly recommend if you want to stay in Kii tanabe.
My experience in this place was one of the best of my trip in Japan while doing the Kumano Kodo
The love and effort the staff put to serve their costumers here is just unreal
The onsen is fantastic
The food is like from Michelin star restaurant
And the views, oh the views
Property was clean, very spacious and quiet. The hosts were exceptionally good at communicating with us about the property and our stay. They even provided travel information for us to read about the Kumano Kodo. We stayed here the night before the start of our hike.
The hotel is a 5-minute walk from Kii-Tanabe station. The room was warm (winter) and clean and the bed quite comfortable.
Breakfast at the GF bar was delicious. One can choose between Western and Japanese. I chose Japanese.
- Friendly and welcoming staff
- Basic tolietries provided
- Room has its own AC/Heat unit I can control
- Breakfast of their delicious chiffon cake (so good!)
- Futon bedding was comfy
- Easy 10 minute walk from Kii-Tanabe
Very nice location, nice view over the valley and distant sea. The owner picked us up at Tanabe and dropped us of at the Kumano information center the next day, which helped us a lot! He was very helpful and communicative!
The host, Hiroki san, picked us up at the Kii-Tanabe train station. We then had a great BBQ by the river. Excellent meals during our stay. Very comfortable apartment with great amenities. Amazing hosts. Highly recommended.
Very kind host, we had some nice talk with host about Japan. He cooked us really delicious okonomiyaki. It was nice diner and breakfast with other guests. We tried sake. Everything you want after long Kumano Kodo walk! 😊
The host was friendly and helpful. Appreciate she allowed us to keep our luggage after we check out. The place closes to Kiitanabe train and bus station. Easy to find food around
The host Jian was amazing and the food cooked by his wife and daughter was exceptional, both for the dinner and in the next day's bento boxes for our day walking the Kumano Kodo
The owner is incredible - so much local knowledge and Tanabe beach is beautiful. Also listen to the owner’s restaurant recommendations as the one I ate at was lovely.
