Wonderful staying. Very good staff, such a great customer service. The place is pretty clean, affordable and the location is very good, close to the bus stop and the famous Tsuboyu onsen.
There is also an onsen at the guesthouse, which is very nice!
I had to send some packages via post beforehand, and they happily assisted me with that, which helped me tons!
They also offer bento box for dinner with additional charge, and there is a vegan option. It is delicious. I would definitely stay again here.
Boasting various hot spring baths and river views, Kawayu Onsen Fujiya is historic accommodations located near the Kumano pilgrimage route. Sophisticated Japanese multi-course meals are served.

The Guest house is right on the river, super full of character. Great spot.

The onsen! There were 3 onsen options:
1. Big thermal baths inside the main hotel building
2. Small external private baths in the main hotel building
3. Big natural thermal bath in the other side of the river
I think the external private baths were a very welcome luxury.
The location was isolated which is what we were looking for, very relaxing. The view from the rooms was like a painting and the river side and bridge were beautiful when surrounded by pink flowers.
Breakfast was quite complete and tasty, it was never the same.
The service was very attentive, without us asking they accompanied us after the check out to offer taking a picture of us on the nice bridge.
Located in lush nature, Ashita-no-Mori features hot spring baths, a Western restaurant and comfortable rooms boasting river views and sofas.

Excellent food/facility. We were treated like friends by all the staff. Awesome location with an onsen in the river. I can't recommend this place any more highly.

The guest house was perfectly located in Yunomine Onsen, right across from the bus stop. The owners were unbelievably gracious and kind, and prepared the best (and most beautiful) meal we had during our Kumano Kodo hike. The private onsen was a blessing after a full day of hiking, and the room was clean and cozy. We couldn’t recommend this guest house more highly.

Staff were amazing and the onsen was perfect. Beautiful indoor and outdoor onsen. Clean and full of history
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!

Fascinating, I had not intended to spend four days in one location when I came here. The temples are magnificent and the cultural heritage centre kept me reading for some time. A beautiful walk up the hill to an Onsen where I enjoyed the medicine bath, and caught the bus back to my Onsen. I hired a car in Shingu and travelled the coast road to the light house and the pearl diving museum and back up to Kii Tenabe and back to my Onsen. Wonderful coffee at the cafe Sei in Hongu. Enjoyed their gallery upstairs, and the glass and pottery shop. And did I mention the coffee.
