Kumano Kudo Kohechi Pilgrimage Trail
Reviewed By ymdsnowWe came off the Kumano Kudo Kohechi pilgrimage trail from a long day of hiking and were promptly picked up after contacting Nosegawa Onsen from a bus stop pay phone as instructed. Though the Onsen is a bit old and worn, our room was comfortable and clean. Cleaning up and bathing at the Onsen were wonderful treats after hiking all day. Meals were excellent, including one made especially for the vegetarian in our party.

The town is worth it, and the hotel is nice
Reviewed By mfragozoWe loved the food, dinner and breakfast was delicious and vast. The public bath was OK, and the rooms were big and comfortable. The staff was very nice, although nobody could speak English. It didn't matter, as we managed. Compared to other public baths, this was not as great.

Tub with a view!
Reviewed By SWKAWe visited during the Autumn when the trees were changing colours - this is a quiet time for Yoshino but well worthwhile - the mix of leaf colours and ancient temples was fantastic. It was so quiet we were the only visitors when we visited some of the oldest and most attractive temples. Hounkan Ryokan is located on Yoshino mountain, about 20 minutes walk (uphill) from the Yoshino Ropeway. The ryokan is easy to find and has a small car park (opposite and a few meters down the hill). The inn itself is relatively modern but is traditionally run with limited flexibility around eating times. The staff speak limited English but are very courteous and helpful. The reception also provides a written English language guide to the key facilities and activities available at the ryokan. We booked a room with an outside tub (highly recommended) and half board (breakfast and dinner). Our room was large with a small indoor terrace with views over Mount Yoshino. The view was fantastic especially from the (small) outdoor bath tub and separate bathroom. The room décor and furnishings were simple and traditional with a low table and cushions (with a backrest) during the day, replaced with large futons at night. The small terrace area also had two western style chairs, small table and fridge). It was a great place to relax at the end of the day. There are very pleasant onsen hot baths (two bathing areas alternating between males and females each day). The hotel provides everything you need for the baths, including robes and towels. The baths have all the shampoos and soaps you need. The food was excellent, half board is recommended as there are very few restaurants in the area at night, and you can also order wine, beer and sake with your meal. The meals are fixed menu with no choices, but you really don’t need choice as there are lots of dishes and some form of “cook your own” course (e.g. chicken on a grill or sukiyaki). The traditional breakfast was large and varied (but always included some form of grilled fish). The dining room setup was western style with tables and chairs. The highlight of this Ryokan is the opportunity to have a private bath tub overlooking the Yoshino mountainside. The round wooden bath is effectively outside as it sits on an open terrace with no windows obscuring you view, getting you as closed to nature as possible. Highly recommended.

Traditional wooden Ryokan.All rooms attached shower toilet. Stand river side.Wide common hot spring bathroom you can get nice view.
Lovely stay with exceptionally warm family establishment
Reviewed By MarafatWe spent two nights as a party of six, spanning three generations. Accommodations were very comfortable and proper. The fact that the structure was not luxurious and impeccable meant it was more authentic and relaxed, making for a more pleasant experience compared to posher ryokans. And the food outshines more deluxe establishments: the dinners were impeccable and some dishes unforgettable. The water in this onsen is famous and terrifically tasty which must account for the taste of the food, but the very friendly cook --- the mum --- must be the genius behind the performance. The tall, elderly gentleman was exceedingly helpful and generous with his time though some knowledge of Japanese would probably be necessary to fully appreciate his tour of the village. He was excellent in guiding us to important spots in the Tenkawa area.

Very pleasant traditional accommodation
Reviewed By joelm185Loved our stay here. Very comfortable traditional Japanese room, which was very warm and cosy when it was cold outside. The bathroom was heavenly after a day of hiking. The town was very quiet and closed in off season and the hotel was not able to offer dinner, however the hosts kindly drove us to a nearby simple restaurant which turned out to be great. The inluded breakfast was presented beautifully and brought to our room.

Newly renovated hotel
Reviewed By dianefengStayed one night and did some touring around. Very pleasant new onsen bath tubs one big inside one, one semi inside, one outside. 3 trees、maple leaves are peak red, autumn season, beautiful at night with lighting up. Included dinner are gracefully set up. Included breakfast are mainly Japanese style, only has simple bread and jams, no problem for me since I like Japanese breakfast. We had a large Japanese style room which normally accommodate 6 guests. Clean room with toilet and washbasin, no shower, we all used the onsen bathtubs on level one, around there has some entertainment, table tennis, massage chairs, ring throwing. Enclosed smoking room. Christmas decorations are out too. As foreigners, you must present your passport for checking in, they are quite restrict on this one.

Wonderful Ryokan style hotel!
Reviewed By TseYI visited Shigisan during Christmas and I stayed at Shigisan Kanko Hotel. The hotel arranged a shuttle to pick me up at the train station and the check in was very easy. There were two onsen pools for the guests and both breakfast and dinner were included in my booking. The food was delicious and the service was great. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who visits Shigisan!
