The private on sens which they had 4 so plenty and very nice. Breakfast was also nice but it's the natural and nature setting that was very nice, central enough to have all the mod cons but on the other hand remote enough so you felt with nature and quiet. Staff was very nice and helpful too. There also is a good laundry opposite that washes and dries, was very handy to use after many days on the road. Night is also colourful with very lovely light display was a surprise.
Sansuikan Kawayu Matsuya is situated just a 2-minute walk away from Kawayu Onsen bus stop.

Extremely helpful staff in organising pickup and drop-off to Hongu Taisha. A friend left her spectacles in the hotel. Staff of the hotel found it and arranged sending it to Osaka before we leave the city.

Great hostel style accommodation on the Kumano kodo route. Amazing host who cooked us great vegetarian meals.
You can go straight into the river from the hostel and do your own onsen or find a nice hot pool in the river.

The place is very nice, and the hotel offers a ride to the bus stop. In this area of Japan and around Hongu, bus is the main way for you to reach different trails.
Food is fantastic.
Stuff are very helpful and communicate well.

Beautiful place with amazing onsen. Food was great and staff were friendly and kind. Remote location is very peaceful. The most authentic place we stayed in on our trip
Experience culture authentically with a stay at this traditional Japanese-style accommodation. Sleep on the floor (on a futon roll) in a room furnished with tatami flooring and sliding doors. Guests can often expect access to a communal bath plus a complimentary Japanese garment called a yukata.
While Matsuya has basic amenities and facilities, the good thing about it is that guests are allowed to use the onsen at its sister hotel, Midoriya which is just a 3-4min walk away. The Midoriya has pretty decent facilities from massage chairs to a bigger onsen, outdoor bathing area, laundry room etc. The view from the room was pretty decent and the futon beds were comfortable but there is not much floor space for large luggage. It should be ok if you're hiking and making this a pit stop.
Large tatami room overlooking the river.
Welcome onsen after two days on the Kumamo Kodo.
The staff were excellent and went out of their way to look after my companion who had twisted his ankle.
One of Top Hotel during our trip in Japan! We got an authentic room with tatami, with amazing river view. Onsen inside are classic Japanese, but the one outside are really amazing, carved into the rocks, few meters from the river, the calmness, the falcons, the forest just as into a movie...Dinner and breakfast super extended, maybe even too much you don't know where to begin and where to end. Staff also super friendly. So, surely a recommendation for 3/4 days even more!
Rooms were spacious, clean and futons were comfortable. Both the buffet breakfast and dinner were pretty good as well with a decent variety and rotation of the dishes over the 2N that we stayed. However the outside onsen that was right next to the river with a wide open view of a mountain forest oppsite the hotel was the highlight, cover ups were provided for the mixed gender outdoor onsen, so me and my partner could enjoy an onsen together for the first time!
This ryokan is very nicely located on a river bank, across from a mature forest. Offering a view to admire is very Japanese, and so, its onsen extends on the river bank. This is where it gets messy : read below.
The meals were amazing - beautifully prepared and presented. So much thought went into them and they were delivered by a lovely Japanese host.
The beds were on tatami mats with hard pillows .....something that you expect in a Japanese Ryokan.
A good hostel, in a good location (though Yunomine onsen is not that big). It had a nice tatami common area that even had a few games provided, such as go. The hostel had its own private hot springs, that are free to use: a lovely outdoor bath, a relatively big indoor bath and a rather small indoor bath.
We had booked a private room, not big but fine with three persons. We received bento boxes for dinner and you could grab rice for free. There was also free rice porridge for breakfast. Overall very good value for the price.
