Our host came to take us at the train station and took us back there. Friendly person. Toasts in the morning.

The room was beautiful. The hostess was very accommodating, friendly and extremely helpful. She gave me ride to the bus stop at 5:40 because I needed to go to Hongu for Kumano Kodo pilgrimates.

The room was great, nice, clean and well equipped, and the facilities were very good as well. The owner was helpful beyond imagination, picking me up/taking me to station, providing for touristic information and even returning a T-shirt I left behind to the next place I was staying. Being a female solo traveller, such dedication really made my stay!

Hirami san is very nice! She pick us up at JR Shingu station and drive us to the station every day. Highly recommended to who would like to have a Japanese style home stay experience.

Sin, Hong Kong

The host is very kind and helpful. She picked us up at the station and drove us back there at the end of our stay despite it was very early in the morning (7.30am). The room is big and spacious, with a lot of light and tatami style. Towels and other utensiles such as toothbrushers are provided. The house is walking distance to the 3 main shrines in Shingu, which you can easily visit in a single day. There is also a very good and cheap ramen restaurant nearby, for which Seiko-san, the host, gave us discounts. I'd come back for sure.

Awesome stay. If you want to experience a life in a modern Japanese house, please, stay in this guesthouse. The host is super cute. She will pick you up at Shingu station. Be prepared to speak a little Japanese. The host will explain how to travel around Kumano Kodo and Shingu city. I recommend to buy a Kumano Kodo bus pass that the host will advice you to purchase. It is very convenient. The host was also so nice that upon check-in brought us back to the station, showed us a good place to eat, helped to purchase a pass and then showed us which bus to get on. The room we stayed was very nice with aircon, TV, wifi. The toilet and bathroom are shared but very clean. We were surprised when found out that the breakfast is included. You will get a tea/coffee and tosts and a super nice chat with a host. Will stay here definitely if I go to Wakayama-ken again.

The accommodation is a registered hotel, but I would say it is more like a warm B&B house. The hostess is very friendly and helpful. She allow us to store our luggage two days before we arrive, so we do not need to carry any heavy stuff with us when staying at Hongu area. Hostess also keep in contact with us so she could arrange the time to pick us up from train station. The house is clean and tidy, providing a comfortable and quiet stay at night. Nearby there are some nice restaurants for dinner and convenient stores you can shop. Hostess would try to provide all the information that you need to know, and do the best she could help. She will have a chat with you like a friend and sharing the travel experience of each other. Therefore, it is definitely a 10/10 accommodation in the Shingu area. I would recommend this hotel to everyone who would like to stay in Shingu, you will not find a better one in this range of price.
