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!

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.

Guest House Takiyoshi, hotel in Hongu

Guest House Takiyoshi in Hongu features accommodation with free WiFi, 14 km from Hosshinmon Oji Shrine, 21 km from Kumanokodo Nakahechi Museum of Art and 26 km from Kumanoshi Kiwakozan Museum.

Fantastic place to stay! The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Given we had arrived after a rainy day of hiking, they provided newspaper for drying shoes for the next day which worked very well. Everything in the accomodation (bathroom, baths, bedroom, dining room) is very clean and maintained very well. The baths located in the guesthouse were very relaxing. The dinner and breakfast were incredible and very filling. The staff were also very helpful in making sure we caught the right bus the next day. There is even a lift within the building! Location is also great.

    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.
