The hotel equipment is dilapidated, the room space is insufficient, and the bedding is filthy!

This would have been a very positive review, except for two aspects. Our visit to Kinokuni Onsen in Kawayu started out excellent. …

I decided to go to Kumano for a three-day weekend in autumn, but there were only a few hotels where I could stay alone or that were empty, so I found this hotel. …

First of all, "Kinokuni Hotel" was the old name, and now it has been changed to "Sansuikan Kawayu Kinokuni". This is the same affiliated hotel as Kawayu Midoriya. Actually, it's the hotel next door. …

I stayed here for sightseeing in the Kumano area. It's located along the river, so I think it's a perfect inn for families with children who want to play in the river. …
