Authentic Rooms: The rooms are traditional Japanese style—very cozy, clean, and pleasant to stay in. Incredible Food: The food was outstanding! You can really tell that a lot of thought, care, and effort went into preparing every single meal.
We had some trouble communicating my dietary needs as a vegan. Initially, the staff refused to serve me vegan food. However, after a long conversation and explaining what I can eat, they were accommodating. The next day, I received a perfectly suitable and highly delicious meal. It would be great if the hotel could be a bit more prepared and flexible for vegan guests from the start.

Reviewed May 27, 2026We enjoyed our stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located right in front of Kawayu Onsen. Unfortunately, it rained during our visit so we were not able to fully enjoy the onsen experience, but the stay itself was still very memorable. One pleasant surprise was the dinner, which turned out to be far more elaborate than we expected and was absolutely enjoyable. We also really appreciated the hotel shuttle service. The staff kindly picked us up from Kumano Hongu Taisha and even brought us back the next day after we missed the bus, which was a huge help.
You can definitely notice the age of the hotel, but we honestly felt that it added to the charm and character of the overall experience.

Très déçu par cet hôtel où nous avions séjourné il y a une quinzaine d'années et qui nous avait laissé un merveilleux souvenir. Mais cette fois-ci, quelle catastrophe. Arrivés devant l'entrée à 12:30, un panneau indique que le check-in est à 15:00, hall d'accueil vide et toutes lumières éteintes, donc pas très accueillant. A 15:00, au check-in on nous expédie rapidement avec un minimum d'informations sans nous montrer les espaces communs, ni petit thé d'accueil comme c'est la tradition dans la plupart des ryokans. Nous avions réservé la même catégorie de chambre (Modern Kumano avec bain extérieur sur le balcon), une catégorie supérieure à pres de 400 € la nuit en demi-pension, et découvrons une chambre vétuste, murs sales, salle de bain dégoûtante, bain extérieur avec baignoire en bois très abîmée. Vitres sales. Nous étions 9 clients au total dans cet hôtel mais cela semblait déjà trop pour le personnel. Le matin de notre départ, nous avons demandé à restituer la chambre 1h plus tard que le check-out (10:00) car notre bus passait à 11:17. Refus catégorique (je rappelle : 9 clients !!!). A 10:00 précise, coup de téléphone dans la chambre quand nous fermions la porte pour nous rappeler que c'est l'heure de remettre les clés à l'accueil et payer la note. Après paiement on nous autorise à attendre notre bus dans le hall d'entrée, lumières éteintes. Soudain, la réceptionniste surgit à 10:30 pour nous expliquer que notre bus a changé ses horaires et qu'il arrivait dans 6 mn. Nous voilà nous dépêchant pour rejoindre l'arrêt mais point de bus.... les horaires n'avaient pas changé, c'est juste que la personne ne voulait pas nous "surveiller" depuis son poste. Hôtel à éviter dorénavant. D'ailleurs apparemment il n'accueille plus grand monde. Nous comprenons aujourd'hui pourquoi.
