Reviews of J-Hoppers Kumano Yunomine Guesthouse 1 stars

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.

Everything was well organized, efficient, and clean.

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 ☺️☺️

Clean, you can buy drinks and snacks, nice common area, talkative people all around

Nice location. The room is very clean. The facilities are also clean, too. The staff is nice and professional. He can speak good English.

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.

Nothing

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.

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!

For a hostel it is really really good. Private onsen, super clean, very organized

Basic traditional accommodation, hostel style. Onsite onsen were the highlight for us and the reason we chose this property.

Definitely, onsen!

Really great! They give complimentary breakfast (rice porridge) the locations is perfect and the town is very nice.

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

Loud group of people staying there at the same time.

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!

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

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.

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).

Amazing. Loved it. Onsens fabulous!

Our private room was great, the private onsen were amazing. Kitchen facitilies were good. We had a great time.

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.

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

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).
