I had such a wonderful stay at this hidden gem of a guesthouse. The private onsen was a fabulous surprise, and I thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in both the indoor and outdoor baths. The shoe dryers were a lifesaver, keeping my footwear fresh and dry for the next day of adventure. The tatami room was a cozy hangout spot, and the kitchen was well-equipped. The staff were friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. I also loved the delicious sweet potato yams and eggs cooked in the onsen. I highly recommend this guesthouse for its warm atmosphere, beautiful location in a scenic village, and proximity to the Kumano Kodo.

The value for money at this place is amazing, especially compared to other options in the area. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a traditional Ryokan feel. The staff were helpful and the location was convenient for walking the Kumano Kodo.

For breakfast, it would have been better to have more options.

Plum wine, comfortable beds, cool rooms, instant meals, big kitchen, cheap laundry.

Nothing to be said.

I stayed at J-Hoppers Kumano Yunomine Guesthouse for two nights and it was a delightful experience. The staff were friendly and the facilities were wonderful. The hostel felt like a Japanese home, with a well-equipped kitchen and a traditional lounge area. The three private onsens were amazing, especially the outdoor one where you can bathe as the warm rain falls. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the shared lounge was great for socializing. The location in the mountains was quiet, but public transportation made it convenient for exploring the area.

Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

I had a wonderful stay at Yunomine Onsen. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond to help me, especially Hiro who called the bus office to ensure transportation during the holidays.

We had a fantastic stay at a guesthouse nestled in the stunning mountains. The location was perfect, close to the bus station, making it easy for us to explore the area. The room was comfortable and spacious, with a breathtaking view of the surrounding nature. The staff provided excellent service, and the onsen baths were a relaxing treat after a long day of hiking. We enjoyed the free rice in the evenings and the delicious breakfast options. The common room had everything we needed, including a drip coffee maker.

The thin traditional walls allowed noise from neighboring guests to disturb our sleep at times.

Amazing value for money, cozy and clean room with comfortable futons. The location was perfect for exploring the Kumano Kodo, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Amazing village with friendly people and fantastic atmosphere. Spacious traditional Japanese house with free rice and affordable food options for easy meal preparation.

The guesthouse is in a great location for exploring the Kumano Kodo trail, with good hikes nearby and easy access to bus stops in town. Guests can take advantage of the private onsen to relax after a day of hiking. the accommodation offers the convenience of buying food on-site, which is especially helpful as there are limited options in the area.

Some guests mentioned that one staff member was not particularly friendly or helpful, while others found the service to be excellent and praised the helpfulness of the English-speaking staff.

I recently stayed at J-Hoppers Kumano Yunomine Guesthouse for 2 nights after a 38km hike. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing directions and advice. The dorm pods were comfortable and spacious, with privacy curtains and convenient amenities like electric plugs and lights. The kitchen was well-equipped and the onsen porridge in the morning was a great touch. The guesthouse also had a nice social atmosphere and three relaxing onsens. a fantastic place to rest and unwind.

Can recommend this hotel.

The location of the guesthouse is incredibly convenient, as it is close to both the bus stop and the bus station. This makes it easy to explore the surrounding area and reach other destinations. the guesthouse is situated next to a hot spring river, allowing guests to enjoy a relaxing soak after a long day of exploring. The staff at the guesthouse are helpful and provide useful information about local buses and schedules.

The walls of the guesthouse are quite thin, causing some noise disturbance from other guests.

As women traveling alone, we felt safe and comfortable at this guesthouse. The facilities were clean and well-labeled, making it easy to navigate. The availability of three onsens, including one private outdoor option, was a real treat for relaxation. The guesthouse provided opportunities to interact with other guests, allowing us to meet people from different nationalities and backgrounds. Our private tatami room was newly renovated and provided a comfortable stay. The guesthouse also offered convenient services like laundry, towel rental, and a well-equipped kitchen.

Felt so relaxed, no complaints.

As adults, we loved the private onsens, free rice and coffee, and the cozy common dining area.

We felt so at home and welcomed, there was nothing to complain about.
