J-Hoppers Kumano Yunomine Guesthouse

We stayed there for one night while trekking the Kumano Kodo. Basically, everything was perfect for a one night stay after a long day of hiking. The capsules were spacious and quite private actually. The bento box provided for dinner was tasty. There are three private onsens that you can book. Yunomine Onsen itself is very lovely and you can easily continue your trek either on foot or by bus, as the bus stop is very close. Would definitely stay there again!

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 Ryokan is so much better than we expected with a very reasonable price. I was staying for my Kumano Kodo dual pilgrim walk together with a friend, and could simply take bus back and forth to where I paused, very convenient location. The hotel has a long history but still kept very clean. The onsen was fantastic, with large pools both indoor and outdoor; also male and female were switched every day at 10pm so you can experience different setup for an overnight stay. Liked the dinner and breakfast: they changed menu for my two-night stay. Hopefully can have more choices on sake and fruit wine. Above average English skill with all super nice local staff. They’re the reason I would definitely choose to stay again next time after all!

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.
