Undoubtedly, this place was one of the best accommodations I have been. The place is spotless. Seiko is a Super Host. She was very helpful to my request. Getting out of the train station you can turn to the left and after crossing the railway it is a two-minutes walk, there is a mini supermarket just in front of the accommodation and a big supermarket 4 minutes up the main road. The Villa is so adorable, if you have time for a little stroll, you will enjoy it. I strongly recommend it.

Ike was responsive to our questions before we arrived and helped us plan our next day's Kumano hiking itinerary based on the weather forecast. The dinner at Ike's minshuku was super tasty, we had a really good time eating and watching Ike make okonomiyaki (really good with lots of veggies which we missed in Japan). Definitely recommend getting the dinner/breakfast/lunch package, made our day after a long day's hike!

We stayed here on our way to Koyasan, the final stop of the pilgrimage.(Shikoku 88temples) I am surprised that it is 3600 yen even if you stay with how many people. We stayed with our pet. Of course, the price will not change. Takaji, the owner, is the nicest person. This place is great if you want to communicate with the local. He also welcomes you even if you don't want it. You can use the sauna and the large jacuzzi. You can see the beautiful night sky in the room. If you want, you can enjoy a special experience beyond just staying.

It exceeded my expectations, the guest house is very comfortable, smells so good and is well located, there is an Ashyiu (foot bath) less than 200 m away. And it's posible to visit a lot places by foot. The host is a great person and very friendly and willing to offer the best experience during your stay and recommend places to do in the city. Takami, thank you very much for your hospitality and for the ride to the train station. Wifi is excellent, but works best in the shared area.

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!

Beautiful property perched in the mountains near the start of the Kumano Kodo trail. Simon and his wife were great hosts providing a shuttle up to their house and then again to the start of the trail. The room was traditional and beautifully finished and we even sampled some homemade plum wine!

New guesthouse and everything is new. Host has created a good and relatively comfy place to stay and hang and mingle. Bedrooms are clean and very spacious. Host is friendly and wish her well and good running of her guesthouse. There's a great sports apparel shop and an award winning bento set supermarket nearby. House slippers are provided as well as basic toiletry, kitchenette except toothbrush. Big balcony to dry clothes out but no provision of washing machine.

Hiroko was a hero to us as our flight was delayed 2 hours and we only reached Wakayama in the midnight. She offered us the ride to the hostel and welcome us with her warm heart and explained everything to us. The room is really tidy and she has prepared the futon for us! I really like it! Toilets are very clean! Very quiet neighborhood! Will definitely recommend others to stay!

Wonderful little house located within walking distance of station. Host was lovely and very kind - we arrived soaking wet having been caught in the heavy rain and she allowed us an early check in which was amazing as we were able to get dry and regroup. The area surrounding is quiet and great to take a stroll in the evening.
