📍 1806 Nakahechicho Chikatsuyu, Tanabe
★★★ 9.4 (70 reviews)

"We thought staying at Sen Retreat Takijiri was very good to start our Kumano Kodo journey. The Sen Retreat Chikatsuyu was even more impressive! The size of lodging with living room, the in unit washer and dryer, and prepared food and drink were superb! Especially, after a long journey in the mountain, the hot pot and cold beer were so comforting! We can see everything details has been taken care of. We strongly recommend our friends to stay at any Sen Retreat along Kumano Kodo hiking. We hope you continue to build up along the hiking route!"

📍 2-1 Minato, Tanabe

★★ 8.8 (7 reviews)

"Not bad, although it is a bit old. About15-20 minutes walk from the station But the facilities are very complete, there are slippers, bathrobes, toothbrushes (but very hard to brush my teeth, bleeding) tissues, etc. Breakfast is also included, but there are several options Choose the most expensive to add money Breakfast starts at 7 o'clock. The time I went to the front desk was the uncle. I don't know English, but communication is ok. And give our room just to see the fireworks conference at night"

SEN.RETREAT TAKIJIRI Hotels in Tanabe

SEN.RETREAT TAKIJIRI

"I truly enjoyef thus accomodation for my Kumano kodo trek. It exceeded my expectations. Everything was new and clean. The hotel is right next to the main road, but there is no traffic at night and I had a good sleep. It's close to takijiri oji or takahara by car or bus. The bendo dinner box was delicious and there was more than enough. Beautifull view over the river and the forest"

Kumano   Ayukawa-juku Hotels in Tanabe

Kumano Ayukawa-juku

"This room was my only option after the hotel I had booked failed to confirm my reservation the day before my departure, and it became the perfect start to my journey of exploring all the side trails of the Kumano Kodo Trail. Upon exiting the station, I met Mr. Ota (60 years old), who was there to pick me up. After a brief chat, he gave me a booklet that could only be purchased at the Kumano Kodo Center, and it already contained the stamp for the furthest point on the outer edge of the trail. Today's task in the beginner's area was for an NPC to help me collect the other two stamps, and he also gave me a two-hour hike on the mountain trails as a warm-up for tomorrow's trip. Mr. Ota was very helpful and didn't charge me any extra fees. There was a Lawson convenience store a 3-minute walk from his house, where I bought a lot of supplies and dinner. To my surprise, my room was already overflowing with free-flowing drinks. The room was on the second floor and had a toilet, but you had to go downstairs to shower and do laundry. The room was huge, even bigger than my home in Kyoto, and the balcony offered a perfect view of the valley sunset! The toilet was a bit dated but very clean, and the toilet paper was thick and fragrant! The bathroom and washbasin were fully stocked with toiletries—you didn't even need to open your toiletries bag! Mr. Ota, who had been busy all afternoon, only had instant noodles and meatballs for dinner, which made me feel a little bad. We chatted for a long time after dinner, and Mr. Ota turned out to be quite knowledgeable about China! If you have the chance to stay here, be sure to chat with him. Although it seems a bit far from the starting point, with the Lawson convenience store and Mr. Ota's warm hospitality, this is definitely a lucky starting point for the Kumano Kodo! I highly recommend it!"

Kirinosato Takahara Hotels in Tanabe

Ryokan Bijintei Hotels in Tanabe

Ryokan Bijintei

"It was a retro inn, located a little way from the Motoyu hot springs of Ryujin Onsen, and it didn't even have an elevator. 🤗 Even though I couldn't stay alone at Kamigoten or other places, they warmly welcomed me as a solo traveler. 😌💓 The hostess is originally from Sajima, Kamijima Town, Ehime Prefecture, where I live, and she has friends on Iwaki Island, where I also live. Perhaps because it was a weekday, the place was all to myself. 🤗 They prepared a bath and meal just for me, which was such a luxurious and appreciated experience. 😊 Afterwards, I was able to visit the Kumano Sanzan shrines in a pleasant atmosphere. Thank you so much. 🤗"

Nouka Minpaku Mirainouen Hotels in Tanabe

Nouka Minpaku Mirainouen

"The room was very clean. The landlady was kind and could communicate in Chinese using a translation software. I ordered her breakfast for 800 yen and it was very comfortable. I didn’t know what to choose from the meal. I just ate what she made and I was very satisfied. This B&B can pick you up from the station. I don’t speak Japanese, so I can only walk there. When I left, she drove me to the station. I liked it very much! The bus runs twice a day, and it’s difficult to take a taxi. The pick-up and drop-off is very pleasant."

Shimogoten Hotels in Tanabe

Shimogoten

"Escape the ordinary and discover an unforgettable, authentic Japanese onsen experience at this hidden gem, far from the typical tourist trail! Tucked away in a serene, off-the-beaten-path location, this traditional onsen is a rare find for travelers seeking something truly special. My wife, two young kids, and I were blown away by the tranquil, rejuvenating atmosphere during our stay. The owner’s wife, with her excellent English, went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed, treating us like cherished guests in their own home. The warm, attentive staff made every moment feel personal and heartfelt. This is not your standard Japanese tourist stop—it’s a cultural treasure for those craving an authentic, soul-soothing retreat. A word of advice for drivers: triple-check the address and stick to main roads to avoid any navigation hiccups. You’ll thank me later! Come for a unique, immersive experience that will leave you refreshed and inspired."

KAMENOI HOTEL KUMANO TANABE ★★★★
"This is a somewhat old Japanese-style hotel, not quite worthy of a 4-star rating. It seems there are only public baths, no private ones. They don't offer luggage storage for multiple days. They told me to use the coin locker at the station, but that only allows for 7 days, and it only accepts coins."

Tanabe Station Hotel ★★
"The biggest advantage is that it is very close to Tanabe Station, which makes it very convenient to take the early bus to the Kumano Kodo. The service attitude is also very good, and you can store your luggage at the front desk when you go hiking."

Kawayu Onsen Fujiya ★★★★
"This hotel is perfect for a relaxing one day stay. It’s right beside a sapphire-blue river in the middle of the mountains. The in-room onsen is more than big enough for two people and they also have communal baths. They also offer a free shuttle to the start of a stretch of the Kumano Kodo if you want to hike the next day."
