    Staff was able to provide information clearly and was fluent in English. He was also very kind to pick us up from the train station for free. He also provided suggestions for sight seeing and restaurants. Highly recommend the accommodation due to the service and facilities.

    Tanabe was our starting point for our Kumano Kodo trek so we stayed in Tanabe only one day not realizing how much there is to do in Tanabe. If we ever come to Tanabe again, we will be sure to stay longer to enjoy all that there is to do there. I think we could have stayed a whole week if we weren't going on our trek.

    Having visited Japan so many times, this trip was probably the best of all. I followed the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage and experienced both the people, the culture and the religion of ancient Japan. I spent in total about 4 days walking and all of the accommodations (family run b&b and a hot spring hotel) was all very clean, with tasty food and friendly people. I'd love to go back again and experience the other less famous trails of the same region.

    A great little town, and ideal jumping-off point for the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage. The pub quarter was a fun place to get a drink and dinner: great Tako Yaki. Both the Tanabe Tourist Information Centre staff and the Kumano Kodo Travel staff were impeccably professional and helpful in making arrangements for the pilgrimage walk. Cannot rate their quality of service highly enough.

    This was one of the loveliest places we stayed in Japan. Delicious food, warm reception, beautiful views. It's a rustic traditional house in a remote location, but convenient to the Kumano Kodo because the owners are willing to pick up and drop off for a reasonable extra charge. The food is 4 star restaurant level, a creative blend of Italian cooking with touches of Japanese ingredients. There are chickens and goats and home made plum wine. Highly recommend a stay here!

    Read reviews carefully. Beware. Friendly update 2 weeks later - this place is still under investigation from booking. They hid the review on google obviously, and have apparently been doing this for years - according to other local lodging facilities. I of course have the screenshot, and still have access to the review. I've been on booking and staying all around Japan for years, this has never happened to me. And again, didn't argue or anything with the guy.

    Location is perfect, right next the train station and bus terminal for the kumano kodo, and the main restaurant area in Tanabe. Staff are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable, and a great to have a chat with. Value for money was excellent. The bar was nice and they had local craft brewed beers on tap which were delicious. A perfect stopover before starting the kumano kodo!

    The hotel is really comfortable, our room had a kotatsu in it. A mexican restaurant is part of the hotel. You can relax, eat and drink there (it stays open until late). The hotel provides sandals for you to walk to the onsen on the river. The location is great (near bus stations). The owners are the best, super kind and welcoming. Thank you very much!

    The accomodation is simple, but we like the japanese style room anyway. We got a lot of help to organise our hiking on the Kumano Kodo (the host was English speeking)! We could leave our luggage during the hike and got it brought directly to the train station when returning! Thanks alot for the pleasent stay and the help!

    Perfect stay, on my way on Kumano Kodo. This place is perfectly located to have a one-night stop between Takijiri and Hongu. Ike is a very welcoming host, and speaks very well English! He and his wife are two great cookers, as I had the chance to try their dinner/breakfast/luck box. I truly recommend! Thanks a lot! :)

    Check in and out was super easy. Very comfortable as we needed a place to stay as we walked the Kumano Kodo and it was difficult finding a place that was available so we were so grateful to have this option. Highly recommend for those wanting something simple and available.

    The hotel is a 5-minute walk from Kii-Tanabe station. The room was warm (winter) and clean and the bed quite comfortable. Breakfast at the GF bar was delicious. One can choose between Western and Japanese. I chose Japanese.
