Excellent onsen hotel right at the end of the first day of the Kohechi Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail. I came for the onsen and mountain seclusion, but they had such good maps of the Kohechi at the front desk that I decided to walk back to Koyasan the day I checked out. It’s about 20km through the mountains from Nosegawa Onsen to Koyasan, walking on a mix of well-kept trails and paved roads; overall, a moderately difficult hike with very good signage. I highly recommend Kohechi hikers to stay at this hotel.

Great place. I highly recommend

It was a quiet and wonderful stay on the Japanese countryside. It's a bit out of the way, so make sure when planning your way there you follow the shuttle instructions or have another way of getting there via car or taxi. Staff were friendly and accommodating and helped to contribute to a memorable vacation

We arrived late and were given a great welcome and show around the room and property by the owner. An absolute gentleman he is. Onsens were great, I wish we arrived earlier to enjoy the very pleasant reception area and the fabulous massage chair (free or charge). The reception also has a coffee bar, shop and vending machines. Amenities are self service by the lift. (open from 6am to 11pm) although ladies were coming into to clean at 8am. Breakfast was Japanse style and very nice. Coffee is not included in the breakfast, green tea is. Room was great with a balcony sit out area. All rooms had river view which was nice. Plenty of private parking, very nice surroundings. We stayed here on arrival day to Japan, and prior to stay and visit of Koyasan. It was perfect stop point, although the drive here is NOT for the faint hearted :) specially when it is raining. We wouldn't be surprised if the roads are closed in winter or bad weather.
