Sansuikan Kawayu Midoriya, hotel in Hongu

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

The Japanese style room was so lovely! The staff are so friendly. There is a shuttle bus to take you to Hosshinmon-oji to walk a section of the Kumano Kodo. The meals are excellent and high quality. The onsen was fabulous after a very wet walk on the Kumano Kodo.

Villa KUMANO, hotel in Hongu

Villa KUMANO is located in Hongu, just 5.2 miles from Hosshinmon Oji Shrine and 14 miles from Kumanokodo Nakahechi Museum of Art.

A cool looking house in the traditional Japanese style with modern conveniences. It has a nice view of the impressive Torri that is unfortunately marred by the bug screens and telephone/electricity wires. Full kitchen, but we did not cook and just did take out from one of the only restaurants that stayed open past 6:00pm. There is a bus stop outside or it's an easy walk to the Hongu Taisha bus center next to the Tourist Office. We had the Western Bed option which was thick raised pads, much easier than sleeping on the floor after a long day.

    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!
