Sansuikan Kawayu Midoriya ★★★

📍 Hongu-cho Kawayu 13, Tanabe

"After we checked in, we were headed to Fushimi Inari Taisha and had just missed the bus. To our surprise, the hotel arranged a shuttle bus to take us there, which was incredibly thoughtful. The hotel has just been renovated, so it's very clean. The food is also exquisite. This is definitely a perfect hotel I'd highly recommend."

Hotel Nankairo
7.9 (57 reviews)

Hotel Nankairo ★★

📍 Minato, 41−31 ホテルNANKAIROビル 1F, Tanabe

"It's less than a 5-minute walk straight from the station. According to the description, it's a long-established hotel. It's on the second floor. I arrived early and was able to store my luggage. I only saw staff when I checked in later that night. The single room was quite small, but clean and tidy. The bathroom was a little small, but it was adequate."

KAMENOI HOTEL KUMANO TANABE
9.1 (83 reviews)

KAMENOI HOTEL KUMANO TANABE ★★★★

📍 24-1 Mera, Tanabe

"Don't book this hotel! The most annoying hotel in Japan! My reservation was authentic and valid. When I arrived at the hotel, the hotel front desk manager could not understand English or Chinese. He told me that there was no way to check in. This store discriminated against Chinese people. At 2 o'clock in the morning, I was a girl sleeping on the streets abroad with my luggage. So far, I booked it with Ctrip overseas. This software is just like the hotel in evading responsibility, and it still hasn't given me a solution! They refused to let me check in and deducted my money!"

SEN.RETREAT TAKIJIRI
9.0 (8 reviews)

SEN.RETREAT TAKIJIRI ★★★

📍 291 Nakahechichō Manago, Tanabe

"This is an unmanned hotel. You'll be given the main door code before check-in, and the room code is only given after completing the check-in process using a tablet at the entrance. (We gave the wrong code and were temporarily stuck outside... but thankfully, contacting customer service resolved the issue.) There's a shared kitchen, dining area, and washer/dryer (free!). Dinner and breakfast for the following day are prepared in the room, and there are drinks and ice cream in the refrigerator. Pajamas, towels, and toothbrush sets are provided. It's a bit far from the bus stop, about a 15-minute walk to Takijiri, and there are no convenience stores nearby; however, the hotel is clean and comfortable, and the price is reasonable."

Shimogoten Hotels in Tanabe

"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."

Hotel Kii Tanabe ★★★
"Luckily, I was received a gift from them for their 1 anniversary which is very nice plum. I can share it to my friends in Hong Kong. The hotel is new and you can find many Japanese restaurant by 5 mins walk for dinner. The nice beach takes 5 mins by car. They provide free parking."

"服务:I’m here to specifically show my appreciation to the staff of the hotel. I forgot my Airpod in the room when checking out and will only stay one more day in another town at least one hour away. The staff from the hotel worked with me with great patience to confirm my itinerary and shipping address. When there is not enough time to make a delivery with commercial services, one of the staff decided to personally take my lost items to my next hotel with no ask for charge. I have never experienced such a kind gesture. I will not stay in any other hotels other than this one the next time I travel in the region. 卫生:👍👍👍 Onsen: 👍👍👍"

Garden Hotel Hanayo ★★★
"We arrived late at night. The guy at the front desk greeted us warmly. He used a translator to explain the situation and asked if we needed our luggage transported (he could help transport our luggage to the next destination). He also asked if we needed to soak in an outdoor hot spring. The next morning, I opened the curtains and saw the beautiful sea. It's far from the station and it's dark at night if you walk. I recommend taking a taxi, which costs 1,000 yen one way."

SEN.RETREAT CHIKATSUYU ★★★
"I was about to give bad reviews due to some poor check-in experience, but everything after check in is so good that compensates this journey. First, the check-in process that brings me with bad experience: it is self-served and there is no any staff. By rights you should receive an instruction email with check-in PIN in advance, which I heard from other guests. However, I didn’t receive anything but Trip’s confirmation letter and I was unable to check in. And my sim card in Japan is just an internet card unable to make phone calls, which means I have no way to contact the hotel directly. My partner and I were desperately locked out of the hotel in the evening, after 7h hiking, with no other available hotel in the mountain. After waiting for over 1 hour, other guests helped us to enter the admin room where there is an ipad to call the hotel (why not make it available to guests without checking in?), and with the help of Trip’s agency, we finally checked in successfully. Then here is the staying experience: so good that makes me almost forgive the poor check-in experience. Each room is a spacious individual house and ours has a garden for BBQ. The food is also self-served, with the cooking stuffs and ingredients in the fridge. It was unexpected that you need to cook yourself (I don’t think it was listed on room info when I booked it), but it’s not bad that Wagyu, chicken, and vegetables are served. The rooms are big and cozy, and you can do the laundry after hiking. Everything is good about the hotel itself, just be aware of the self-checkin process and make sure you get the instructions before that."

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"
