Very cozy spot on the river bank. Ease of access to kumano kodo trail. We did the Hongu loop trail leaving from here, hiking to Hongu-taisha, then bus to Yunomine Onsen, and then hike the rest of the loop from there. Awesome experience!

It was a great experience, a cozy, beautiful, and traditional place. The best part was Mindi's attentiveness at all times. She was a wonderful host who took the time to show us the beautiful places and helped us understand everything we needed. Thank you, Mindi. My wife and I would definitely return to this beautiful place!

It was one of the best accommodations we experienced in Japan. The house was lovely and impeccably clean, but what truly made our stay exceptional was the staff! They were incredibly helpful and kind—from the warm welcome and complimentary welcome drink to the delicious dinner and even offering to do our laundry, despite it being quite late. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Ike’s hospitality, humour and cooking was brilliant! It was a real joy having beautiful home cooking - the dinner, breakfast and lunchbox were exceptional. And chatting after dinner about food and Japan was really insightful and enjoyable!

    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.

    Great hostel just meters off the Kumano Kodo trail. Dinner was a tasty and plentiful bento box. Free filter coffee and tea available and good sized sleeping capsules in the dorms. The onsen was also a great bonus!

    Great hostel! Located right along the Kumano Kodo, with great access to hiking. Stayed in the mixed dorm and was very impressed with the size and comfort of the beds. Lots of privacy for a hostel. Everything was clean. Kitchen well equipped. Private onsen access was great as well. Loved our stay here!

    Great hostel in the nature, far away from noise and crowds. Good kitchen, bento box option, laundry and the onsen. Everything you might need after a long day of hiking.

    A good hostel, in a good location (though Yunomine onsen is not that big). It had a nice tatami common area that even had a few games provided, such as go. The hostel had its own private hot springs, that are free to use: a lovely outdoor bath, a relatively big indoor bath and a rather small indoor bath. We had booked a private room, not big but fine with three persons. We received bento boxes for dinner and you could grab rice for free. There was also free rice porridge for breakfast. Overall very good value for the price.
