Independent in Kumano from NZ$98

"For those who are looking to luxuriate in the onsens of the Kii península… This is a place not to be missed. The cave onsens, especially, were both gorgeous and healing… The other ones perhaps a bit rundown, but still quite a treat. The staff were great (and multi-lingual) and my room was squeaky clean. Highly recommend "

"An enjoyable stay with nice helpful staff, thanks "

"Great location. Clean. Nice private bath."

"We had an amazing time at this hotel. We would return for sure. The outdoor onsen is beautiful and even thought there were other guests in the hotel, we were the only one using them, so it was quite relaxing. The staff members were so welcoming and friendly, the food was just impeccable. At breakfast time until we left, there was a pianist playing the piano. He was fabulous. We loved everything!! "

"Great find while hiking the Kumano Kodo. Huge cabins, onsite onsen, little store. And economical. Our family of 4 loved it. "

"Excellent dining room breakfast and service. Friendly staff. Beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean from the balcony. "

"Basic and slightly dated accommodation in a Japanese style business hotel. But the value and location are good for sightseeing Kumano Kodo."

"The bathroom had a pretty funky smell that never went away, and it seemed that their answer was to put a tiny bag of potpourri next to the toilet, but it could have used a more thorough cleaning. Otherwise, a very nice and helpful staff, great free shuttle for local hikes, and decent breakfast and dinner. Quiet and lovely spot by the river where many people were enjoying the water."

"Great hotel near the river onsen. The owner was very friendly and was a good fun place to stay."

"Very nice staff"
