Koshi was a great host! We didn’t realize check-in wasn’t until 3pm, but he immediately stopped what he was doing and greeted us early, that really made our day after hiking through Kumano Kodo.The place is a Japanese pop-culture heaven, so many amazing mangas, games, consoles and so much more!Location was perfect, very close to the water and not too far from the station, free use of the washing machine and kitchen.5/5 would stay here again. Thanks Koshi! 💖

This time, I came to stay for one night after touring the holy land for the anime "Nagi no Nana".The owner of the B&B is very nice and has well-prepared supplies. There are microwaves, hot water kettles, and simple tea. In addition, the owner has perfectly preserved things from the 1970s for the residents to appreciate. I think it is a good experience🥰If you are planning to travel to Kumano City, you can refer to this famous hotel! !

When I visited, the entrance on the first floor was set up as a candy store, and the living room was lined with manga, videos, and CDs, and you could relax with a kotatsu.It was a dream-like space that people from the Showa era would want to stay in forever. The owner's innovative sense while making the most of its oldness is sure to captivate you. An inn that you'll want to go back to and tell people about.

This is an inn that feels like visiting a relative's house in the countryside. The living room on the first floor is stocked with nostalgic items such as Famicom computers and board games, so you can relax and enjoy your stay here. There is a toilet and a tatami room on the second floor. The shower is located in a separate area once you go outside from the back door. This is an experience-based accommodation that families, young people, and foreign travelers will enjoy!

I recently went on a trip to Wakayama and used this hotel.The owner was very kind and all the rooms were very clean.I also went to an izakaya that was introduced to me by the owner, and as the owner said, the drinks and food were excellent.

Just like when I was a child, I lived in my grandparents' house. Although it takes some determination to go to the outdoor private bathroom and use the traditional toilet in winter, the century-old house is full of surprises and the equipment in the house is also very convenient.Thank you to the host of the B&B for waiting for me to arrive at night and for a wonderful four days and three nights trip to Kumano City. Warm and beautiful Kumano.

I stayed here for 3 nights.There are a lot of retro games on display, and you can even play them. There was also a game I liked, so I was really excited!Also, the kitchen is stocked with plenty of seasonings, so you can cook the fish you catch right away. We were also able to cook rice for free.I also appreciated that the washing machine was free.Amenities were also available, so I didn't have any problems.The owner was also very kind and attentive.This is my first time staying at an inn that is so perfect!I will definitely visit again! !

It was a guest house in an old folk house, and it was a place where you could relax and spend a relaxing time. Anyway, they had prepared a lot of things to kill time, and they gave detailed instructions via SMS etc.The public bath is in a different location and requires a fee, but shampoo and towels were provided.There is also a way to cook for yourself, so you can rent a bicycle (free of charge) and go to the supermarket to buy some food.Anyway, it was a wonderful accommodation with a lot of freedom.
