Boasting beautiful open-air baths facing Ohto River, Sansuikan Kawayu Midoriya offers both Japanese and Western-style rooms.

Location is uniqe and the onsen outside is divine, the whole hotel has its own traditional vibe. rooms are really big and comfortable. Breakfast and dinner had a lot of variety and was good. The staff was really really nice and recommended us a trail and we even used their shuttle service. The best part was that we could extend our stay for one more night

Kawayu Onsen Fujiya, hotel in Hongu

Boasting various hot spring baths and river views, Kawayu Onsen Fujiya is historic accommodation situated near the Kumano pilgrimage route. Sophisticated Japanese multi-course meals are served.

The rotemburo was lovely, but even better was the hot onsen water naturally emerging by the side of the beautiful river which flowed passed the hotel. The outdoor bathing was wonderful. The staff were very helpful when we were planning our walks along part of the Komano Kodo nearby and the evening meal was just what we needed after a long day of walking and sightseeing.

Guesthouse Okagesan, hotel in Hongu

Guesthouse Okagesan is a holiday home situated in Hongu, Wakayama. There are 2 Japanese-style rooms, a living room, kitchen, bathroom and toilet in the property.

Everything about this place is great. The owner is very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We met him at his nearby yakitori restaurant (which is also amazing) and he took us to the house. Such a peaceful place as you have the entire house to yourself. There is a kotatsu for warming yourself up if its cold, lovely areas to sit inside/outside and watch the birds, lots of space, clean and comfortable bedding, and the building itself is lovely. The owner also gave us discount vouchers to an onsen a short walk away which was incredible.

Ashita no Mori, hotel in Hongu

Situated in lush nature, Ashita-no-Mori features hot spring baths, a Western restaurant and comfortable rooms boasting river views and sofas.

Incredibly good value. Lovely family who run it, who helped massively on when the bus times were. Ideal location next to the river hot springs. Breakfast was very tasty and the dinner was great too. Favourite place I stayed at during my two week trip to Japan. Shared bathrooms was basically like a private bathroom as only a few rooms.

Yunominesou, hotel in Hongu

Offering tranquil outdoor hot-spring baths with nature views, a Nakai-san personal attendant, karaoke, massages and sumptuous Kaiseki dinners, Yunominesou is a 10-minute walk from Tsuboyu hot spring,...

Absolutely amazing onsen hotel, great location, friendly staff, we also enjoyed the kaiseki dinner so much that we ordered it again. Same with the traditional breakfast. It doesn't get any more authentically Japanese than this, anywhere you go, quintessentially Japanese!

    There's so much beauty and serenity in visiting this area.

    There's so much beauty and serenity in visiting this area. It was relatively quiet during the early winter season but perfect hiking conditions. Food / meal areas were a little sparse and not as exciting but invigorating to experience the pilgramage walk.

    It's the heart of the Kumano Kodo.

    It's the heart of the Kumano Kodo. There are numerous beautiful trails and trains in the area. The mountains and rivers surrounding it are fantastic. I have lived in Japan for 35 years and find this one of the nicer areas to experience beautiful Japanese Fall.

    This is a beautiful part of Japan.

    This is a beautiful part of Japan. We lived in Japan but had never been to this area. Full of walkers. We are not walkers but easily did a full day on the Kuman Kodo. We easily moved around by bus . They are not frequent so pay attention to the timetable Wonderful onsen baths. Lovely walks Koyasan was revelation and we regretted not staying longer We cancelled Taiji when we realised that is where they capture and slaughter dolphins

    We arrived in Kuwaya Onsen from Tanabe early in the afternoon so had time to rest and visit the river. The next day we walked the Kumano Kodo trail from Ukegawa to Koguchi (13km, ca 4-5 hrs). A very beautif hike with a few climbs. Plan your trip well as there a few busses from/to Ukegawa and Koguchi. Make sure to bring enough water and a lunch as you cannot buy it on the way. Wonderful experience!

    Fascinating, I had not intended to spend four days in one location when I came here. The temples are magnificent and the cultural heritage centre kept me reading for some time. A beautiful walk up the hill to an Onsen where I enjoyed the medicine bath, and caught the bus back to my Onsen. I hired a car in Shingu and travelled the coast road to the light house and the pearl diving museum and back up to Kii Tenabe and back to my Onsen. Wonderful coffee at the cafe Sei in Hongu. Enjoyed their gallery upstairs, and the glass and pottery shop. And did I mention the coffee.
