The food was amazing! We had an excellent breakfast before walking the Kumono Kodo trail and the lunch bento box was delicious as well.
Nice smell of incense on arrival. The dining room was very cool with alot of American memorabilia. I love the saloon doors that lead to the bathroom.
Really close to kii tanabe and Isakyas as well.

Close to train station & easy walk to hotel. There is an easy track/road to walk to hotel along the railway tracks. Early breakfast was good. Rooms a little small for two adults wuth luggage though. Good value to start walk.

This hostel is just 5 minutes away from the koi-Tanabe station. The house is typical Japanese traditional house which reminds me of my grandma’s house. It was very comfortable and relaxing to stay there. The owner was very helpful and friendly. I loved the interior design of this house.

The evening meal was one of the best I've had while visiting Japan. Many courses, sashimi, pickles, hotpot, lots of fresh vegetables (at last!) and more.
Onsen was very nice
The staff were very friendly and warm.

I got here dusty and tired after a long backwards Kumano-Kodo with an extra day walking from Takajiri-oji to the winery. I was very glad the walk here was my final day and would recommend it as such for any other backward pilgrims. It was considerably harder to navigate the trail than the Nakahechi route and at times very steep - there's one section where you have to pull yourself up with a knotted rope attached to a tree. It is not a well travelled path at all but it was peaceful and beautiful and I'm glad I gave the day to the walk. (I started in Takahara at kiri-no-sato, so the day was down to Takajiri-oji and then back up. My map was in Japanese but the woman in the tourist bureau was very helpful. Yes you do have to walk up the steepest path at the start, not the road - (it feels like a storm drain) - and then there's a tiny tiny way into the trees otherwise you end up in someone's backyard.)
I just wanted a boozy drink, and all the food I could eat. I was not disappointed on either front. I was fed in my room and it was an expensive meal before the booze, and all the more expensive as I was thirstier than I needed to be. Incredible Valpolicella red wine imported by the host from Italy, priced reasonably but you pay for what you get.
It really is a GUEST HOUSE. You are in their house. They are making an incredible thing though, farming as they can, hosting as they can around it, employing locals, making this obscure part of an old Kumano-Kodo into a really positive place either to gather before you start or to decompress when you are finished.

A beautiful well renovated traditional Japanese house. The host was very friendly and helpful to plan our trips and hike on Kumano Kodo. The breakfast at the café was delicious. We will stay here on our next visit. A wonderful experience!

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.
We loved our night here. It's clean, comfortable and quiet, and Simon was a gracious and friendly host. You can even walk to Takijiri from here if you want to get a longer walk on your first day of the Kumano Kodo (if you are staying in Takahara the second night it's about a 6 hour walk from the guesthouse). Otherwise Simon offered to drive us to the Takijiri trailhead. Highly recommend this place, thank you Simon!
Insuperable location along the kumano kodo, steps away from an open-air onsen on the riverside surrounded by nature, for a relaxing bath after a day of hiking. We stayed in a traditional japanese room, with private AC. Bathrooms/toilets are shared but well tended to. The owner is very kind and helpful. We tried their bento lunch boxes, which were perfect to take out for the day and also very tasty.
Location super handy. The highlight was Aki (I hope I haven't butchered your name), who was such a tremendously helpful soul. He basically planned my route for me to walk the Kumano Kodo, including making a phone call for me, which would have been difficult as I have no Japanese, nor international sim. He even continued to answer questions for me after I checked out! What a star.
Owner was super friendly and welcoming! I arrived late at night, saw that there was a note to call him and he came down right away!
He was also super helpful with pointing out what was around the area/bus timings etc.
It is a short walk from Kii-Tanabe Station. Everything is great for a simple stay before heading off to kumano kodo!
A fantastic, spacious room in a traditional house in an idyllic location in the japanese countryside, surrounded by plum and citrus orchards. The most gracious host, picked us up from and brought us back to Takijiri-oji and kumano Kodo trailhead. Extremely kind and helpful, thank you for a wonderful stay!
Great location if hiking the Kumano Kodo. About 7 minutes walk through town from the trail. Grocery store across the street. Offers a dinner/breakfast/bento lunch option. Very clean. shower water pressure was amazing. beds were comfortable.A perfect spot to rest and refresh after a long days hike.
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.
Really nice coffee shop, perfect place for any people who wants to see how traditional Japanese house looks like.
The personal could also speak English, which is really convenient.
And the cakes for the breakfast were amazing.
I highly recommend if you want to stay in Kii tanabe.
My experience in this place was one of the best of my trip in Japan while doing the Kumano Kodo
The love and effort the staff put to serve their costumers here is just unreal
The onsen is fantastic
The food is like from Michelin star restaurant
And the views, oh the views
This was my last stop on the Kumano Kodo (hiked in reverse) and the experience here was truly special! The owners were incredibly kind and helpful and the food was spectacular. Definitely would come back here the next time I am in Japan.
This was a nice stop during our kumano kodo experience. They are located right on the river where we could enjoy the onsen (next to the river and the public onsen.) The tatami room was comfortable and the dinner was delicious.
The host, Hiroki san, picked us up at the Kii-Tanabe train station. We then had a great BBQ by the river. Excellent meals during our stay. Very comfortable apartment with great amenities. Amazing hosts. Highly recommended.
This is a great location, just a 5ish minute walk to the Tanabe train station. If that is important to you when booking - then stay here! The space is no frills, shared bathroom, kitchen and seating area.
The host was friendly and helpful. Appreciate she allowed us to keep our luggage after we check out. The place closes to Kiitanabe train and bus station. Easy to find food around
Hosts were wonderful. Picked me up at Kii Tanabe station. Was able to go and visit their goats. Beautiful view. Perhaps the best meal I have ever eaten. Try the homemade umeshu.
The place is right on the Kumano Kodo trail, the staff was very helpful and even drove us to a restaurant to have dinner. The bed was very comfortable.
