The traditional farmhouse was beautiful and relaxed. We were treated with such kindness and generosity by our host Manabu San including an unexpected bonus of breakfast. He discreetly came in the morning and left the warm rice balls. We enjoyed them while watching the birds feeding on seeds Manabu left for them.
We also loved eating at Manabu's restaurant down the road, a tiny bar that is very popular with locals and visitors.

Very happy with our stay at Villa Kumano. Hosts provided all the required information and were accommodating of some last minute requests from us too. The villa itself is huge and equipped with all comforts, including a wonderful mattress. We also enjoyed the dinner which was provided at a nearby restaurant, and the breakfast (we requested a boxed one, having to leave early, and it was packed with delicious and fresh ingredients). Highly recommend this place if you are spending one night in Hongu, even more if you are doing so after a long walk and are in need of proper rest!

Fantastic place to stay! The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Given we had arrived after a rainy day of hiking, they provided newspaper for drying shoes for the next day which worked very well. Everything in the accomodation (bathroom, baths, bedroom, dining room) is very clean and maintained very well. The baths located in the guesthouse were very relaxing. The dinner and breakfast were incredible and very filling. The staff were also very helpful in making sure we caught the right bus the next day. There is even a lift within the building! Location is also great.

There's so much beauty and serenity in visiting this area.
There's so much beauty and serenity in visiting this area. It was relatively quiet during the early winter season but perfect hiking conditions. Food / meal areas were a little sparse and not as exciting but invigorating to experience the pilgramage walk.

It's the heart of the Kumano Kodo.
It's the heart of the Kumano Kodo. There are numerous beautiful trails and trains in the area. The mountains and rivers surrounding it are fantastic. I have lived in Japan for 35 years and find this one of the nicer areas to experience beautiful Japanese Fall.

This is a beautiful part of Japan.
This is a beautiful part of Japan. We lived in Japan but had never been to this area. Full of walkers. We are not walkers but easily did a full day on the Kuman Kodo. We easily moved around by bus . They are not frequent so pay attention to the timetable
Wonderful onsen baths. Lovely walks
Koyasan was revelation and we regretted not staying longer
We cancelled Taiji when we realised that is where they capture and slaughter dolphins

We arrived in Kuwaya Onsen from Tanabe early in the afternoon so had time to rest and visit the river. The next day we walked the Kumano Kodo trail from Ukegawa to Koguchi (13km, ca 4-5 hrs). A very beautif hike with a few climbs. Plan your trip well as there a few busses from/to Ukegawa and Koguchi. Make sure to bring enough water and a lunch as you cannot buy it on the way. Wonderful experience!
