The staff were helpful and accommodating, we'd like to thank Hiro especially who called the public bus office of his own initiative to make sure buses were going to be available during the holidays in isolated areas. The outdoor private onsen was enjoyable during winter. Futons in the nice rooms were great and blankets big and fluffy. Yunomine Onsen is a small town with very few dining options, it seems other guest houses offer meals with the stay (there was only 1 restaurant open during our December visit). J-Hoppers sells some ready-to-eat packaged food and offers rice and coffee for free. The common dining area is also a nice place to sit and relax.

The staff is very welcoming, kind, and available for any needs or information. The accommodation is comfortable and cozy. The location is perfect, next to the warm springs, in front of the forest, in the middle of the village. The food is excellent. We had a wonderful stay!

Everything was perfect, the room was spacious and had a very comfortable queen sized bed, the place was quiet and you can get a good night sleep. The shared facilities are clean and the kitchen is quite big. I enjoyed a beautiful sunset in the porch. The guy working there was super friendly and helpful. A good location if you want to shorten the walk to Hongu.

Exceptionally clean. Having a sink in the room was super convenient. The location is in the middle of nowhere with no cafes or restaurants, but it's 3 minutes to a bus stop and there's a wonderful supermarket next door that sells absolutely everything. Techan is a really kind and generous host. He offers free drinks/snacks and use of washing machine/ dryer for a donation, which can be dropped into a can. He allowed me to keep my luggage downstairs after checkout and even gave me a lift to Hongu.

Very homely feeling during our stay in Hongu. Mandy not only made us feel welcome but looked after and took us around as if we were family. She also went out of her way to organise a taxi to find us when we got lost during our hike - without her I am not sure what would've happened. Both home prepped meals were amazing, and the acupuncture service was extremely professional. We really enjoyed this authentic Japanese homestay experience and hope to be back soon!

The host is really nice and helpfull. I recived a dinner I did not even know it is included and felt like she really cares for her guests. I was just one night here as a break on Kumano Kodo hike so for this is perfect. Maybe a bit to expensive for a solo traveler and my room had 3 beds but for a group it's like jackpot.

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!

The location was convenient and quiet, you could hear the stream of water. It was vibrant and full of like-minded backpackers looking after themselves and facilities which stayed clean throughout the stay. The outdoor onsen of the hostel was delightful.

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!
