The owner is really kind! The place is really big, super nice and has everything we needed and more. The location was perfect in between the hikes we did. The restaurant of the owner is the perfect place to eat at Night! Really cosy place in a nice little village.

The hotel is a great base to explore Kumano Kodo. Location is excellent - at the heart of Kumano Kodo, near Hongu, right on the main bus line, great for hikes. The hotel has very nice Japanese style family rooms, with great views of nature. Dinner (kaiseki - tasting style) was fantastic and very good value for money. Breakfast also rich (you can choose Japanese and western). Bonus - the hotel also has own "onsen" - Japanese hot bath, including two private family rooms and two big open air bath. Using the onsen is included in the room price. Moreover, staff is very helpful, speak solid English and will take you to with a shuttle to a better bust stop for the ride to the Kumano Kodo trek.

The host is very responsive, replying messages promptly and she speaks very good English so we have zero issues for checking-in ! Alya the host completed the dual pilgrimage and I guess from there she understand the need of travellers. We love the place, feel like home after our long hours of hiking journey. The place is very very clean, bonus is they provide the laundry & drying machines, and provided some snacks for us to eat those are very sweet gestures.

Absolutely gorgeous house, spotless clean, yet a “lived in” family house all possible amenities, appliances and utensils. The pictures are correct - you have your own view of the largest torii in Japan, presiding over rice fields. In the centre of Hongu, close to a few local eateries and 300mm from the visitor centre, bus stop and on the crossroads of the Kumano trails. We were concerned that there would ne noise from the adjacent road but the town is so quaint that that wasn’t not the case at all. We have spent two weeks travelling Japan with family and this was hands down the best place and we all regretted we didn’t stay longer. Thoroughly recommended.

I did not stay in Hongu but spent time there when I stayed at Yunomine Onsen and visited the Hongu Taisha mae Shrine. It is a small town with some nice restaurants, small shops, and the main bus stop for the area.

part of the kumano kodo must do destination !

part of the kumano kodo must do destination ! it is a wonderful location with the shrine, a zen building of the heritage center and the torii gate, which also act as a bus stop too. The bus system is inadequate for so many visitors. I understand it is in a rural part of the Japanese town, but i am sure the bus company can regulate and insert a couple more bus departures during peak time. Surely they would have collected a historical data of peak passengers timing by now since this kumano kodo has been around for so long. So that it can provide a better service for the hikers

Hongu, Watarase, Kawayu & the surrounding area is hands down one of THE almighty best in Japan — and Japan has lots of amazing places. it's very easy to spend 3 days or more based out of this area & then driving around to amazing waterfalls, ravines, hot springs, cultural spots, mountain vistas, abandoned elementary school, etc. etc. unbeaten japan can take you there so do not hesitate to reach out.

Beautiful farming town, with a few scattered shops to ease hunger. Local shop owners were accommodating and kind. City tourism center was closed but the bathroom remained open for guests. We were only passing through to Koguchi but it was a charming stop.
