Ashita no Mori

Owner family is super helpful and thoughtful - happy about every visitor. Onsen inside the hotel, small but nice and private use. Free Onsen in the River in front of the hotel - borrow a shuffle at the door. Dinner and breakfast were great - definitely recommend, especially if you don’t feel like going to the limited options in the area that are walkable.

Slightly older building - still everything was clean and organized.

Wonderful hosts – they are so welcoming and helpful that you immediately feel at home. They specially prepared a delicious vegan dinner and breakfast for me. I'd be happy to come back if I get the chance. And a swim in the river right in front of the house, where you dig your own hole to get your hot spring bath.

A charming family-run guest house with the warmest hospitality we found in Japan - it's the only place where the family waved us off as we left. Perfectly placed for the Kumano Kodo: we walked the final stretch into Hongu Taisha straight from here, and the Oyunohara torii gate is minutes away. After a day on the trail, the outdoor onsen is exactly what your legs need - sitting outside in the evening surrounded by forest was a highlight of the trip. The breakfasts and dinners are immense in size and taste. So much preferable to a faceless hotel. It was lovely for us and our 11 year old boys to play Uno with the owners young daughter and for the boys to light sparklers with her. So nice, friendly and family oriented.

Yes a little dated and shared bathrooms facilities but we knew that when we booked.

Beautiful property steps from the river
