This was the best value for money stay I had this trip. Highly recommend opting for dinner to be included with your stay. The steamed vegetables and meat with rice and soup was a sumptuous, healthy yet delicious meal especially at the end of a day's big hike. The dorm beds were comfortable, and it was a really nice luxury to get a private onsen experience (especially the outdoor one). Though there was no convenience store around, the hostel has a very good range of snacks, instant noodles, buns at good prices so you don't have to worry about not having food around.

I loved the guest and the beauty of the room and the surrounding area, I was very tired from a long hike in the summer heat but this place recharged me again. I also enjoyed the public onsen only 4 minutes from the house. I would love to come back one day!

It was a great experience, a cozy, beautiful, and traditional place. The best part was Mindi's attentiveness at all times. She was a wonderful host who took the time to show us the beautiful places and helped us understand everything we needed. Thank you, Mindi. My wife and I would definitely return to this beautiful place!

Truly touched by Hitomi’s dedication as a host. Although we spent just one day together, the moment we arrived, her elegant and warm presence immediately lifted the spirits affected by the terrible weather of that day. Hitomi's humor and talent shone through, enhancing the delicious meals prepared by the chef. She went above and beyond by helping me dry my clothes in the rain and arranging our luggage transport the following day. These thoughtful gestures made our experience incredibly special. Thanks to Hitomi, the memories of the Kumano Kodo are forever etched in our hearts. Her selflessness, along with that of the chef, helped us discover the beauty of Katsuura, a hidden paradise. I look forward to returning one day and creating more beautiful memories with Hitomi and her exceptional hospitality.

The host is flexible and helpful, and very nice to chat with. The house is very clean and safe, and we felt very comfortable staying here. What we liked the most are the parking spot in front of the house and the brand new shower. We will definitely stay with them again next time we are in the area.

    Lovely hosts - I arrived drenched & exhausted from finishing my Kumano Kodo hike. They were very helpful with all my wet gear & boots, and (once I was finally dry) recommended local restaurants and onsen.

    Great hostel just meters off the Kumano Kodo trail. Dinner was a tasty and plentiful bento box. Free filter coffee and tea available and good sized sleeping capsules in the dorms. The onsen was also a great bonus!

    Great hostel! Located right along the Kumano Kodo, with great access to hiking. Stayed in the mixed dorm and was very impressed with the size and comfort of the beds. Lots of privacy for a hostel. Everything was clean. Kitchen well equipped. Private onsen access was great as well. Loved our stay here!

    A good hostel, in a good location (though Yunomine onsen is not that big). It had a nice tatami common area that even had a few games provided, such as go. The hostel had its own private hot springs, that are free to use: a lovely outdoor bath, a relatively big indoor bath and a rather small indoor bath. We had booked a private room, not big but fine with three persons. We received bento boxes for dinner and you could grab rice for free. There was also free rice porridge for breakfast. Overall very good value for the price.
