This guesthouse is located along one of the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Routes and Yunomine Hot Spring, said to be one of the oldest hot springs baths in Japan, is a 5-minute walk from the property.

I had a great stay at the hostel! The staff was very helpful, I could use the washing machine and drier. I could rent a bike and cycle to Hongu. The onsens are great to relax after a day exploring. Everything was very clean. The bedroom was so pretty and the futon very comfortable.

Situated in lush nature, Ashita-no-Mori features hot spring baths, a Western restaurant and comfortable rooms boasting river views and sofas. The cosy inn is located right in front of a river bank boasts 70 degree natural hot spring, and has a souvenir shop and drinks vending machines.

Lovely location across from a river. When the outside temperature is right, take a dip in de river and swim over to the spots where the hot water comes out of the ground. Bring your flipflops for the walk over the rocks, they’ll hurt your feet! The food was delicious, had great breakfasts and dinners here.

Situated in Hongu, 14 km from Hosshinmon Oji Shrine and 21 km from Kumanokodo Nakahechi Museum of Art, Guest House Takiyoshi offers free WiFi and air conditioning. The property is around 26 km from Kumanoshi Kiwakozan Museum, 36 km from Kamikura Shrine and 37 km from Kumano Hayatama Taisha. Shingu Castle Ruins Park is 37 km away and Fudarakusanji Temple is 47 km from the ryokan.

We stayed 2 nights at Guesthouse Takiyoshi but wished we stayed longer. The hosts are a hardworking young family and will help you in any way possible to make sure you enjoy your stay. The room we stayed in was a traditional japanese room and very clean. Though there are shared facilities (including the traditional onsen), it was always kept clean and there were more than enough facilities for everyone (we stayed on a night it was full but never had to wait and it always felt clean). The meals are traditional, fresh and extremely tasty... the hosts know how to cook up a storm and you won't be hungry! We'd highly recommend Guesthouse Takiyoshi if you're looking to stay in Yunomine.

    The major onsen resort in Wakayu, which is a really small village. Enjoy the outdoor onsen and peaceful river view a lot. The breakfast buffet is very Japanese-style and nice. Staff are very helpful. The free shuttle bus is great.

    Our host Manabu is very hospitable, and ensures everything is going well for your visit. We enjoyed the location, 10 .minutes walk to fabulous onsen, quiet rural village. There is a small minimalist for groceries, Okagesan yakitoria run by Manabu san, and the cafe at the onsen for meals.

    The private onsen's were really nice and so was the traditional japanese room - pretty, clean and warm, which was great after hiking. The staff was friendly and helpful, they made sure, that we were aware that the food options in village were limited, so we could make an informed decision about ordering dinner from them.

    Very low light pollution at night, we were able to see the Milky Way from the terrace, which was accessible from our room. It was great! The location is perfect if you want to hike the 1-day loop of the Kumano Kodo and also drive down to the Kumano Nachi Taisha. They have some snacks and instant noodles in the kitchen in case you miss out on the few restaurants in the village. Also, the host was very helpful and gave us pointers on which places were open on which day so we did not need to go hungry to bed.

    We felt very privileged to sleep in an authentic old village house, which we had all for ourselves. It felt like being invited in a local family. The owner (who is very friendly) has a restaurant close to the guest house, we highly recommend you try it too, as the food is delicious!
