Everything was great. Check-in was at 4:00 at a different location.

Great location. Comfortable with everything that I needed. Kind owner.

It was particularly cold downstairs in shower, kitchen and toilet area. The hot water ran out. The space was cluttered with the Owner's personal items.

Convenient location to train and bus station as well as restaurants.

An older location with some funky elements but impeccably clean.

It was difficult to access the place without mobile connection as the owner does not reside at the property so needs to know your arrival time in order to let you in

The location was very handy to the train station and the amenities were very clean

Stayed in May 2024

The kitchen and shower area are a bit small and pokey.

We loved the spaciousness of the bedroom, having our own living room/sitting area was great too. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the train station. It is simple, basic but adequate accommodation.

The door sign said 4pm check in time but when we went back to check at 3pm just in case he might be open earlier, he was.

Very spacious, clean and comfortable. Basic bathroom but with good kitchen facilities if you want to prepare your own meal (the 7/11 supermarket had good meal options to heat up.)

The mattress was a bit too thin for heavy males bones

The location, the very friendly , communicative owner, the space.

Downstairs toilet and bathroom were a little cold. Would be better to have a shower room upstairs near the bedrooms.

Location is good - a few minutes walk from Tanabe station. We arrived late and left early so didn't have much time there but it was fine, a standard small ryokan. The proprietor communicated well with us and was helpful when we arrived and then left us on our own.

It’s too cold in the house. There’s no hot running water for washing hands and face. Every time going to toilet and bath was a struggle.

The owner was super friendly and polite, I arrived late in the evening but she had been waiting for my arrival and suggested me to visit Shirayama which turned out to be a fantastic trip. The house was super clean and organized.

it was really windy that night and all the windows were making a lot of noises. we woke up a lot during the night. We noticed that there was a door halfway through the corridor and we wondered if it would stop the wind shaking the window. it did help. it's always helpful to have ear plugs.

the staff is very helpful and friendly. he wasn't sure if I needed to be charge for using the washing machine. He gone as far as calling the owner to find out. once he found out, he refund the money. Honestly, I wouldn't notice if he didn't refund me. He was very honest. thank you. the venue was very cheap and very spacious. you basically have the whole accommodation to yourself when the employee closes the coffee shop downstairs. my partner loves the setting. Do bear in mind that it is not a flush toilet but long drop. but it didn't bother us as the toilet is far away from our room.

It was fine for us as a couple-it would have been cramped with others using the kitchen and living spaces.

Convenient location 350m from Train and Info Centre. Clean facilities and comfortable futons

Stayed in November 2023

Steep stairs to the room. Most facilities are downstairs.

Spacious, clean room very close to the restaurant area and the station. Our host spoke English and she gave us a lot of information about the area. She suggested we walk to the beach and watch the sun set - it was amazing.

Bare bones facilities. Provides an incentive to discoverTanabe's food scene. Host speaks very well english.

A traditional home with a lovely informative host. Handy to local restaurants, bus and train services. A great overnighter before heading off for the Kumano Kodo trail.

Nothing

The house is less than 5 minutes on foot from the train/bus station and convenience store. It is also close to restaurants and shops, but still in a quiet area. The room is big and comfortable and the kitchen, toilets and shower were all very clean. We were fortunate to be the only guests there that night, so we had the house to ourselves. The lovely host lady speaks good English and was very helpful. We've had a lovely stay!
