Rental bicycles are provided for touring the area and guests can relax in the quiet garden. The entrance to the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Routes is a 10-minute walk away.

I felt very welcome, and the owner helped me a lot for my trip. I loved the interior of the Guesthouse.Its design is in the details. Koji gave me a lot of information about day trips on Kumano Kodo, also about the good Izakaya in Kii Tanabe. A place that comes with my highest recommendation!

ASA Village is a hostel located in Nishimurogun Shirahama-city.

It is 14minute away from Shirahama beach and 3minute away by a car. It is 8minute away from Shirahama airport.

The building is partially renovated in July, the lobby has been transformed into a sophisticated space. It is a space where you can feel fusion of the old and new by reusing vessels that were no longer used in apparel stores.

The staff was happy with their smiles

Air-conditioned rooms are fitted with tatami (woven-straw) floors and feature a futon bedding. Rooms are also equipped with a flat-screen TV, hairdryer and a fridge. Bathroom facilities and Toilet are shared with extras including toothbrushes.

I really felt at home here! Yes, there are minimal amenities, but it has a really cozy feeling to it. My room was quite spacious and very affordable. The staff is very kind and helpful, the manager recommended the best onsen to me, and knew which hot springs were tattoo friendly. He spoke English very well. It is a great location too, only a few minutes walk to the beach, and very close to the convenience store. I'm really happy I stayed here :)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    You won't get much better than this for cheap and cheerful Kumano-kodo breaks. I even got a peanut butter and jelly sandwich kit. You have access to basic cooking facilities, and you sleep in a nice little cupboard. The staff are friendly and personable. It's clean and cheap for the area. If you don't need luxury there's no reason to stay anywhere else really.

    Named after a character in a famous movie, very special hostel. Very close to the station. Clean and tidy, beds are already made. There is a bar downstairs to chill and the music played was great.

    The cheapest accomodation around the main shrine Hongu Taisha and on the Kumamo Kodo trail. The owner of the hostel gives us recommendations on where to eat and also showed us useful spots for camping on the trail. I also got a breakfast package (yoghurt, toast, banana). The hostel has a nice large common area with a big kitchen, so you can make yourself tea or coffee, there are also some snacks available 🤩

    Great location across from train/bus station. Quiet, I think because it was a holiday, few people in the hostel, and downstairs bar was closed. Comfortable bed. Clean. Juan checked us in, very friendly, but no staff around after 4pm.

    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
