Everything was well organized, efficient, and clean.

Access to a cute natural hot spring onsen for 150 yen per night. Facilities were clean, staff was super friendly and organized, and they allow early luggage storage. I had a phenomenal experience as a solo traveler and would not hesitate to stay here again. It is also conveniently located a few minutes walk from the bus stop and Yunomine Onsen.

We had an amazing time in your hotel. We met many lovely and beautiful people in the hotel, and the dinner at You-got-it was also delicious, the owner and staff in both locations were all very friendly and really helpful. I really enjoyed the openness and friendliness is this lovely place. Looking forward to going back and use your private onsens again ☺️☺️

Nothing

Located in a quiet alley near the main road, convenient to the attractions. Friendly host with detailed guide to experience Koyasan. Room is clean and spacey.

There are no reservations for the onsens - so after hiking in the afternoon, it might take some time to get into the bath. But most travelers are courteous and won't take too long. Also, futon mats aren't the most comfortable after a long hiking day, but not terrible!

This place is perfect for a solo traveler! Private areas to rest and sleep, people are friendly in the common areas, and the private onsens are incredible. Plus, for the price, you can't beat it.

Loud group of people staying there at the same time.

It’s very convenient and has everything you need and more for a short stay.

It's a little bit of a climb to get to.

It was in the heart of Yunomine and close to the onsens and shrines. The staff were excellent -- friendly and very helpful! I enjoyed my private room very much. It was clean, spacious and quiet. The three private onsen baths on site were wonderful, as was the free foot bath! They also had food and drinks available to purchase since there are few shops in town. This was much appreciated and very convenient. Their prices are very reasonable!

Such a high level for a Hostel. Only thought is - perhaps they could convert some of the balcony into a chill-out area (it's currently just for hanging washing).

Three Private Onsen (hot spring baths) are included in the stay - I've never been to a hostel that offers that kind of luxury! Also, the large communal kitchen and spacious dining area (The Tatami Room) were great. Location just 1 minute from centre of the village, and next to the Kumano Kodo route was fantastic.

Amazing. Loved it. Onsens fabulous!

The hostel was fantastic. We rented a tatami room, which was spotless, very comfortable and with a really nice view. The onsen was amazing, we absolutely loved it. Everything was clean, there were snacks, eggs to boil in the onsens in town and all cooking and serving tools to eat them afterwards. The bathrooms were incredibly clean. This was our favourite stay along the Kumano Kodo, despite being the cheapest.

Not many restaurants close that you could choose from. Nor supermarkets. So be prepared to bring stuff yourself or pay a bit more for the restaurant next door (I heard it was good, haven't been there myself).

Amazing location, private onsen, plenty of space and privacy in the cabins, and free breakfast service. Such a beautiful environment.

Nothing in particular.

Extremely kind and accommodating staff who went out of their way to make our stay both possible and exceptional despite no obligation to do so. Beautiful, comfortable, and clean facilities with private onsen that hit the spot just right.

This was a great hostel! I stayed in a mixed dorm, and the beds were set up with curtains to provide privacy. The onsens on site were great, and there was no queue to use them. The location was perfect (I was hiking the Kumano Kodo). The staff were friendly. Reasonably priced beer was sold on site. And the price was right!

Onsen is amazing after a hard day walking. Location is great, basically on the trail. Bed was comfortable and the morning rice porridge was surprisingly good.

Stayed in July 2025

Only one toilet for all guests. There was no separate shower. Only the Onsens.

Very clean and comfortable. Some food package and drink are available to buy. The private Onsen was very nice and calming.

Towels aren't provided free of charge, you have to pay 100 yen.

The location is excellent. The hostel is well laid out and well equipped. There are 3 onsen rooms that you can use privately, which was amazing. The dorms are clean and comfortable and each bed is quite roomy, with space for luggage beside the mattress. The staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, a great place to stay.

Really nice guesthouse that has a prominent view on Yunomine Onsen. You have a 24h available onsen (with max 30min private use) and some food available to buy. Some rice porridge is cooked in the morning for free. You get a 10% discount at a nearby bar that has great food
