Staff was very patient even though I had a really late check in, the design of the space is perfectly handy for guest-use. Suitable for solo travellers or a couple of friends

Honestly everything was amazing. Great building, view, facilities, bedrooms, common room, clean and the price is ridiculously good. The host went above and beyond, driving me to the convenience store and bus station early in the morning, and sharing a beer with me in the evening and gave me the best restaurant recommendation. Location very good for Nachi Taisha too.

I slept in the dorm, a new experience! It was quiet all night, and enough room in the capsule. Clean and nice showet. Nice staff. The hostel is right by the train station so it was very convenient as I was taking the train early the next morning. I came from Nachi (Kumano Kodo) and the bus stopped right outside the hotel. Cheap, nice hostel if you need a place to sleep in Katsuura.

We liked everything! The personell are very helpful. We arrived early and they let us check in directly so that we didn't have to store our luggage before check-in. We also got some free food for breakfast and free coffee. The beds where very comfortable and the location is perfect. We would love to stay here again.

Great place to start and/or finish your Kumano Kodo hike! It’s very close to the Tanabe station, good value for money, the owner is very friendly (speaks English) and goes the extra mile to help you if you have questions about your hike or travels, and the bed is comfortable. I’d come back for sure!

The owner was really nice, it is the low season so when I arrived she offered me to stay in a single bedroom instead of the dormitory I’ve paid for. For 2 days I was literally alone, it was super quiet. You have everything you need if you want to prepare your meals. She even recommended me a very cute cafe you should visit right next to the hostel: ユータウン with a very cute indoor garden and amazing pancakes. Overall a great stay 😁

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 stay here was wayyyy above expected. The host confirmed our arrival prior to our trip and waited in the hostel for our Arrival and introduced us. There was a kitchen, complementary drinks, free Mikan (super delicious) The room was cozy will absolute stay here again if I had the chance to re-visit Shingu

very cool hostel, welcoming staff just across the road from the station. We had 1 bunk room enclosed within dormitory with accessible toilet upstairs but also more downstairs, laundry facilities and great bar with local craft beer. I really liked Tanabe, small town heaps of dining options, worth a stroll down to the beach
