the CUE, hotel in Tanabe

Renovated from a traditional Japanese-style home into a guest house, the CUE is set in Tanabe of Wakayama Prefecture. Kii-Tanabe Station is just a 2-minute walk away from this property.

I was lucky to have the place to myself. Location was great. Nakamura San recommended a nice restaurant nearby called Ichiyoshi. Staff isn’t on site but I was ok with that.

Private house Kumanoyasai BASE, hotel in Tanabe

Private house Kumanoyasai BASE is located in Tanabe, just a 5-minute walk from Kumanokodo Nakahechi Museum of Art and 18 miles from Kamitonda Concert Hall.

The private house was right on the Kumano. We stayed only one night but wish it was longer. Shino is the perfect host! After eating breakfast at her cafe, we went to board the bus across the street. I completely forgot my bag. Shino made sure I got it back! She had the bus company flag down the bus we were on and delivered it to me. Her homemade meals and warm accommodations will not be forgotten any time soon!!

    Staff was able to provide information clearly and was fluent in English. He was also very kind to pick us up from the train station for free. He also provided suggestions for sight seeing and restaurants. Highly recommend the accommodation due to the service and facilities.

    Tanabe was our starting point for our Kumano Kodo trek so we stayed in Tanabe only one day not realizing how much there is to do in Tanabe. If we ever come to Tanabe again, we will be sure to stay longer to enjoy all that there is to do there. I think we could have stayed a whole week if we weren't going on our trek.

    Having visited Japan so many times, this trip was probably the best of all. I followed the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage and experienced both the people, the culture and the religion of ancient Japan. I spent in total about 4 days walking and all of the accommodations (family run b&b and a hot spring hotel) was all very clean, with tasty food and friendly people. I'd love to go back again and experience the other less famous trails of the same region.

    A great little town, and ideal jumping-off point for the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage. The pub quarter was a fun place to get a drink and dinner: great Tako Yaki. Both the Tanabe Tourist Information Centre staff and the Kumano Kodo Travel staff were impeccably professional and helpful in making arrangements for the pilgrimage walk. Cannot rate their quality of service highly enough.

    Room is clean, no smell at all, walking distance from train station. Plenty of food options around the area. It has fridge in the room! Perfect to store our rice ball from 7-11. Owner is kindly allow us to store our luggage without cost for 4-5 days during our kumano kodo hike. Lastly, we also impressed with the light in our room (not sure other room has same light), it allow adjustments of brightness and set to night/sleeping ambience mode.

    The guesthouse was located in a beautiful location on one of the Komano Kodo trails. The host was kind enough to pick us up in Tanabe and then drop us off at the start of the Nakahechi route early the next day. The home is a restored historic Japanese farmhouse so, if you want an experience that goes back in time, this ones' for you. Plums are grown in the area and the host was gracious enough to share their homemade umeboshi liquor with us.

    The Japanese breakfast was really amazing. This Sumiya has not been renovated since the 70s, however, it doesn't matter because ithe decor added lots of charm and it is certainly a quirky place. I will definitely stay again and recommend others do too as long as you aren't super fussy because it is older style, but for the price that is what you would expect. It is clean and the owners are happy and warm and friendly.

    The hostel's owner is a decent Japanese man who can speak fluent English. That impressed me most while I get to the first destination of the hiking journey. There is a bar downstairs and hostel rooms are in the second floor. The atmosphere is really good . Also, the hostel is located in the nearby of JR and bus station which provide much convenience in my hiking trip.

    Room was clean, living room was tidy and warm. The beauty of this kind of guesthouse is to talk to other guests, and as we’re all going to Kumano Kodo, we had some useful information exchanged. The guesthouse is very convenient to the Tanabe station, however when I visited, not so many restaurants around, only 7-11 at the station.

    I came late with the train from Osaka and the lovely host Juan met me at the station and escorted me to the hotel (which is right by the station). Nice, clean room. I was going on the Kumano Kodo the next day and the hostel is right by the busstop and touristinformation. I highly recommend this place, it had a charming feel to it.

    Very welcoming Japanese-French couple. The house is absolutely beautiful and you can see in the small details how much love they put in preparing the house for guests. Food is awesome, very interesting mix of Japanese and French traditional receipees. Ideally located on the Kumano Kodo trail, at the entrance of Takahara village.

    The guest house was very spacious, comfortable, and beautiful, located in an old Japanese home. Shino was a wonderful host — she’s very responsive and helpful, she arranged a car back to the trail in the morning, and the meals she prepared for us were delicious. Good stop along the Kumano Kodo trail!

    Close to the station and countless izakayas. This place has a very homely feel like we were at grandmas house. Aki san offered to pick us up from the station which was very generous. He also gave us suggestions on where to eat and where to go for our Kumano Kodo hike. English friendly.

    Location is good - a few minutes walk from Tanabe station. We arrived late and left early so didn't have much time there but it was fine, a standard small ryokan. The proprietor communicated well with us and was helpful when we arrived and then left us on our own.

    The hosts were very kind and warm and thought about every aspect of my stay. I was going to walk the Kumano Kodo and they even thought of alternate routes as there was a lot of rain. And the food was amazing!
