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.

It is a small town, actually not too many options in the town. It is great that we choose this place, house owner is very nice, she kindly offer assistance to us and introduced every facilities in her house. The location is very good, 15 minutes walking distance to the main tourist spot. There is small shop selling good Japan beef near the guest house, if you like cooking, you can buy some food and cook in the house.

Everything was perfect, the room was spacious and had a very comfortable queen sized bed, the place was quiet and you can get a good night sleep. The shared facilities are clean and the kitchen is quite big. I enjoyed a beautiful sunset in the porch. The guy working there was super friendly and helpful. A good location if you want to shorten the walk to Hongu.

Right next to the supermarket so we could get ingredients for dinner and breakfast. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Rooms have their own sinks which was a bonus. The room stayed very warm for winter. Really nice views and close to other sightseeing places.

Very homely feeling during our stay in Hongu. Mandy not only made us feel welcome but looked after and took us around as if we were family. She also went out of her way to organise a taxi to find us when we got lost during our hike - without her I am not sure what would've happened. Both home prepped meals were amazing, and the acupuncture service was extremely professional. We really enjoyed this authentic Japanese homestay experience and hope to be back soon!

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.

    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!

    The location was convenient and quiet, you could hear the stream of water. It was vibrant and full of like-minded backpackers looking after themselves and facilities which stayed clean throughout the stay. The outdoor onsen of the hostel was delightful.

    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!
