Excellent and very warm attention from all the staff, they make you feel at home. The rooms are mostly clean and comfortable, you can wash your clothes at no additional cost.Dinner costs 3,300 yen and is delicious (we had shabu shabu for dinner). They also have a bar with various drinks from 400 yen (sake), 600 yen for beer, whiskey for $400.The location is about 15 meters from the terminal water springs in the river and 30 meters from a public open-air bath.It also has a private onsen without reservation.An excellent place to rest and feel very welcome.

Our host went above and beyond for us! Helping with directions for sections of the Kumano Kodo trail and providing amazing regional beverages at a reasonable price. He also gave us a little gift for our journey which we are very grateful to receive and we could not be happier with the services he has provided us! 10 out of 10 would stay again!

The environment is clean and tidy and has everything. The boss is very kind and enthusiastic, and the food is delicious! There is a hot spring in the bathroom, and there is a bus stop opposite the hotel, which is very convenient. All in all, everything was great and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended.

Right in front of the bus stop Kamaya-Mae I think.. Kind hosts who speaks a reasonable amount of English. Dinner smelled delicious but I didn’t go for it because I wanted to try the other restaurant in the area. If I return to kawayu, I will come back here.
