This is a hostel with amazing value and hospitality. The facilities are new, clean and super comfortable - easily one of the best dormitories I've ever stayed in. The bar is a very nice plus: beautifully decorated, great music and good prices. Yoichi the owner is very nice and knows his trade. Plus, impossible to get a better location if you're planning to do the Kumano Kodo. Totally recommended!

The host was very friendly and helpful. He speaks English very well, so we did not have any misunderstanig. It was very kind of him to provide us snacks and a little meal for breakfast. Also we could use the kitchen to cook our breakfast. Jam, peanut butter, coffee, tea, cacao were included. Saying honestly it was the best place to stay during whole Kumano. We highly recomend this place.

My stay at this charming B&B was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled in the heart of the Japanese countryside, it offers an immersive experience that truly captures the essence of rural Japan. The location itself is a paradise. Surrounded by nature, with fresh air, blooming flowers, towering trees, and the melodic chirping of birds, it feels like a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The tranquility is palpable, and the peaceful atmosphere is perfect for anyone seeking a relaxing getaway. The room was a delightful blend of traditional Japanese style and modern comfort. The traditional Japanese room with a futon provided a unique and authentic experience, while the full range of modern amenities ensured that every need was met. What’s more, the price was incredibly affordable, making this a fantastic value for such a memorable stay. The owner, a local plum farmer and factory owner, added a personal touch to the experience. Their delicious plum products were a delightful treat and a testament to the region’s agricultural heritage. It was wonderful to support a local business and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Overall, this B&B is a hidden gem that offers an unforgettable experience. From the serene surroundings to the cozy accommodations and the warm hospitality, it’s a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Japan’s countryside.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    There is a bar on the first floor where you can enjoy good time and meet new people inside. The host definitely got good humour. For solo travellers, you can get to have little chitchat with him😁 The facilities inside the hostel is wonderful! Got everything I need and toothbrushes for free! The bed is cozy😍 I’ll come back here again🥰

    Really nice place to stay just before starting the Kumanokodo, the staff and owner are really friendly and opened. The place is comfortable, close to the station and offers a lot of facilities for backpackers or hikers.

    This hostel is just 5 minutes away from the koi-Tanabe station. The house is typical Japanese traditional house which reminds me of my grandma’s house. It was very comfortable and relaxing to stay there. The owner was very helpful and friendly. I loved the interior design of this house.

    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.

    The cheapest accomodation around the main shrine Hongu Taisha and on the Kumamo Kodo trail. The owner of the hostel gives us recommendations on where to eat and also showed us useful spots for camping on the trail. I also got a breakfast package (yoghurt, toast, banana). The hostel has a nice large common area with a big kitchen, so you can make yourself tea or coffee, there are also some snacks available 🤩

    Great location across from train/bus station. Quiet, I think because it was a holiday, few people in the hostel, and downstairs bar was closed. Comfortable bed. Clean. Juan checked us in, very friendly, but no staff around after 4pm.

    very cool hostel, welcoming staff just across the road from the station. We had 1 bunk room enclosed within dormitory with accessible toilet upstairs but also more downstairs, laundry facilities and great bar with local craft beer. I really liked Tanabe, small town heaps of dining options, worth a stroll down to the beach
