"Facilities: A bit old-fashioned, but there's a large public bath.
Cleanliness: Clean.
Environment: Ocean view from the window.
Service: Excellent, especially a lady at the front desk. She's a fantastic communicator; if you ask one question, she'll give you several answers, anticipating your next questions or things you might want to know. I'm really impressed by her professionalism.
【Seasonal Kaiseki Cuisine】Enjoy Kishu flavors, mountain and sea delicacies: The food was very good. The children's set meal was especially varied and beautifully presented.
The only downside is the inconvenient transportation; you have to take a taxi every day to get around."

"Kind of annex of the sister hotel next door. In the annex is an onsen, washing machine and dryer (free to use), vending machines with beer and drinks and noodles. Room is basic. I had a great view on the river. Small balcony, but dirty and no chair. The annex is okay to stay if you are hiking.
The best thing is the sister hotel. A great onsen with outdoor bath. Nice souvenir shop with a bit more food. Staff are super friendly and helpful.
They also provide bus services (bring and pickup to Hongu Taisha, the other onsen places, the trailhead busstop) which you can use! Just call them if you want to be picked up.
I did not realize Kawayu Onsen is a very small place with NO supermarket. If you did not book breakfast (served at the sister) bring your own into town or eat instant noodles.
There are 2 small restaurants with delicious local food."

"This hotel served as a perfect stopover while hiking the Kumano Kodo. It's less than a 10-minute taxi ride from Kumano Hongu Taisha. This was my second stay, and when I asked, the hotel mentioned a renovation in November 2025, but it sounds like it will only be a partial refurbishment! The hot springs are very comfortable, with both indoor and outdoor baths. The outdoor bath is mixed-gender, and they provide special robes you can wear out there. I booked the half-board option (dinner and breakfast), but the food was quite ordinary with limited choices. However, since there are no convenience stores nearby, eating at the hotel was the only option. The hot spring river, just a 5-minute walk away, now has a public hot spring pool. Many people were enjoying it early in the morning, and kids were also digging their own small pools in the river. Waking up to the steam rising from the river was just wonderful."

"It was out of our expectation. It is a standalone apartment that has everything you need. It is better to register all the guest’s information online via the email. That will make your check-in more convenient. We were impressed with the backyard. We planned to have dinner there. Unfortunately, it was cold and raining. We definitely wanna stay there again. It’s at a very great location, close to the shopping center, and the bus stop of Kumano hiking, just in a few mins walk. Even you don’t do hiking, it is also good for a bunch of friends for a retreat."

"Kawayu Onsen Fujiya boasts an excellent location, right next to a bus stop, making it convenient to get around. Its biggest highlight is the open-air mixed-gender bath overlooking Mount Iwo Jima, offering a rugged and unique view. The cuisine focuses on local specialties, but opinions on the taste are rather polarized. The downsides are that the facilities are generally old and have a vintage feel, and the cleanliness of some rooms is only average. It's suitable for onsen enthusiasts who appreciate a traditional atmosphere and convenient transportation."
Adventure World is 15 minutes by car. Southern European-style, fashionable hotel.
"Full of continental garden hotel. Simple design is good-looking.
There is also a smart kitten explaining the stay in Cantonese. The room is clean and tidy as a whole.
Outside the window facing the sea view. Parking is free.
You can also book 30 minutes of private soup (free)
Breakfast style is not much, but enough.
Staff service is very good, kind and courteous.
I also gave my son a small gift when I checked out.
After we checked in, we went to the beach near the hotel to play until late at night. I didn't expect the staff to be so attentive and reserved a private soup for me.
Thank you very much."
Winter Story at Shimogoten. A relaxing and rejuvenating trip at one of the Top Three Hot Springs with Beauty Benefits.
"It is located in the countryside of Tanabe but the transportation is relatively convenient. This hotel is a member of the Secret Hot Spring Guardian Association, and the water quality of the hot spring is very good. The waiters were all local elderly people, and my lovely mother-in-law came to talk to me with a translator during dinner. The food is not luxurious, but it is still quite traditional and authentic Japanese home-cooked food."

"3 This is the first user. The facility itself has been around for years, so it's fun to confuse new facilities with old-fashioned facilities.
The service of the staff is polite and kind to greatly recover the old equipment. This is the first time I feel that the cleaning staff is not enough, but I want to go again. The meal is also very delicious."

"There were not many people when I checked in. There were outdoor hot springs, separated for men and women. The service staff are very enthusiastic, and there is a young man who can speak Mandarin and is very good. The hotel facilities are slightly older. Luggage can be sent. They can also drive you to the bus stop for free in the morning. But there is nothing around the hotel. It is on a hillside. Get off at Xiatang Peak. There are not many buses."
