The private onsen in the guesthouse were amazing, especially the outdoor one. Right on the Kumano Kodo. 3 min from bus stop. The Bento boxes for dinner were varied and tasty. The room was so comfortable and warm. Right next to the world UNESCO onsen which is a cool experience.

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.

The host was so kind and accommodating! I arrived very early and she still allowed me to check in to my room. Despite limited english she made effort to use phone to translate. Bento dinner was lovely. Highly recommend.

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!

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.
