This hotel is run by the kindest couple, and I’m still thinking about how good dinner and breakfast were. Some of the best meals of my trip! You can also order lunch for the trail. The onsen was wonderful after a long day hiking. Room was on the 3rd floor and very quiet, it was compact and simple, very clean, with everything you might need, including yukatas for dinner and towels for the onsen. Shared toilets and sinks in the hall were never busy; there are two communal showers inside the onsen. I asked about laundry and they took mine and washed it for me within a few hours! The bus stop to Shingu or Hongu was a one-minute walk from the hotel. Yunomine Onsen was such a unique town, I feel lucky to have stayed here and enjoyed such great hospitality!

Offering tranquil outdoor hot-spring baths with nature views, a Nakai-san personal attendant, karaoke, massages and sumptuous Kaiseki dinners, Yunominesou is a 10-minute walk from Tsuboyu hot spring,...

Spectacular service, very clean, excellent Japanese meals with full explanations for foreign guests, very quiet traditional rooms with modern public areas, traditional Onsen (our room had its own toilet but bathing is public in separate male and female baths (this might seem like a big deal to some but we embraced it as rare opportunity to experience a traditional Japanese Ryokan. Stayed here 2 nights to complete the Hongu loop of the Kumano Kodo in one day (traveling to and from the property is possible using reliable and inexpensive public transportation; it will take a day to get there from Tokyo and another day to return). The staff speak excellent English and I can’t say enough about their professionalism and care for their guest’s comfort.

The onsen! There were 3 onsen options: 1. Big thermal baths inside the main hotel building 2. Small external private baths in the main hotel building 3. Big natural thermal bath in the other side of the river I think the external private baths were a very welcome luxury. The location was isolated which is what we were looking for, very relaxing. The view from the rooms was like a painting and the river side and bridge were beautiful when surrounded by pink flowers. Breakfast was quite complete and tasty, it was never the same. The service was very attentive, without us asking they accompanied us after the check out to offer taking a picture of us on the nice bridge.

Beautiful location on the river…the private onsen baths were very nice and much larger than expected and were easy to find openings many times in the night and morning. Perfect temperature. The hotel traditional breakfast was excellent. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

This was one of the best hotels I stayed at in the Kumano Koda area. It exceeded my expectations from the moment I arrived. The staff at the front desk were very helpful and went out of their way to assist me with travelling around the area. They have a free shuttle bus to take you to the Hongu shrine town. My room was awesome and the food in the restaurant was fantastic for both dinner and breakfast. The best part was the outdoor onsen overlooking the river and mountains and being able to wear a light wrap in it as it was mixed with males next door. The view was spectacular. Some staff were able to converse in English.

Sansuikan Kawayu Matsuya is located just a 2-minute walk away from Kawayu Onsen bus stop.

The room is small but comfortable. The hotel guests share the hot spring and also the meals at the nearby Sansuikan Kawayu Midori. The buffet dinner and breakfast are fantastic! Open air hot spring is by the river which is extremely unique!

Boasting various hot spring baths and river views, Kawayu Onsen Fujiya is historic accommodations located near the Kumano pilgrimage route. Sophisticated Japanese multi-course meals are served.

A luxury and refreshing resort experience after two-day hiking. The experience of digging onsen was exceptional! The indoor and outdoor onsen were also fantastic. Dinner was traditional kaiseki. Definitely wanted to stay there again.
