Both the entire village and the accommodation are exceptional. The hotel's onsens are very cool, in the morning you can try rice porridge cooked with thermal water. The hotel has its own small convenience store for hikers. After a long day of hiking (25 km), sitting in the onsen there is an indescribable pleasure!

Absolutely amazing onsen hotel, great location, friendly staff, we also enjoyed the kaiseki dinner so much that we ordered it again. Same with the traditional breakfast. It doesn't get any more authentically Japanese than this, anywhere you go, quintessentially Japanese!

The host is very responsive, replying messages promptly and she speaks very good English so we have zero issues for checking-in ! Alya the host completed the dual pilgrimage and I guess from there she understand the need of travellers. We love the place, feel like home after our long hours of hiking journey. The place is very very clean, bonus is they provide the laundry & drying machines, and provided some snacks for us to eat those are very sweet gestures.

I did not stay in Hongu but spent time there when I stayed at Yunomine Onsen and visited the Hongu Taisha mae Shrine. It is a small town with some nice restaurants, small shops, and the main bus stop for the area.

part of the kumano kodo must do destination !

part of the kumano kodo must do destination ! it is a wonderful location with the shrine, a zen building of the heritage center and the torii gate, which also act as a bus stop too. The bus system is inadequate for so many visitors. I understand it is in a rural part of the Japanese town, but i am sure the bus company can regulate and insert a couple more bus departures during peak time. Surely they would have collected a historical data of peak passengers timing by now since this kumano kodo has been around for so long. So that it can provide a better service for the hikers

Hongu, Watarase, Kawayu & the surrounding area is hands down one of THE almighty best in Japan — and Japan has lots of amazing places. it's very easy to spend 3 days or more based out of this area & then driving around to amazing waterfalls, ravines, hot springs, cultural spots, mountain vistas, abandoned elementary school, etc. etc. unbeaten japan can take you there so do not hesitate to reach out.

Beautiful farming town, with a few scattered shops to ease hunger. Local shop owners were accommodating and kind. City tourism center was closed but the bathroom remained open for guests. We were only passing through to Koguchi but it was a charming stop.
