There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. Tokei Shrine is 35 km from the guest house and Shirahama Art Museum is 41 km away. What a spectacular guest house! We were blown away by how beautiful it was both inside the house and their wonderful garden area with the oldest Sakura tree in Wakayama. Giovanni and Hitomi were amazing hosts and made us feel welcome and special throughout. Giovanni's set course meal was absolutely delicious with high quality ingredients, we were glad we paid extra for this. After our trek from Takajiri we were able to enjoy some beers in the sunshine in the garden and it was the perfect end to the day. Would recommend to everyone highly 🌸

The property is set 700 metres from Kumano Hayatama Taisha, less than 1 km from Shingu Castle Ruins Park and 13 km from Fudarakusanji Temple. The guest house features family rooms. The monk who runs the property was so helpful recommending local restaurants and giving advice and even gave us a lift to the station. There were free drinks including alcohol. The rooms are part of a temple. The hotel is very close to the main shrine and not far from the station so a great location. The place to stay in Shingu. Good value for money.

It is located 29 km from Kamitonda Concert Hall and features full-day security. The guest house has parking on-site, a hot tub and a shared kitchen. Ike was responsive to our questions before we arrived and helped us plan our next day's Kumano hiking itinerary based on the weather forecast. The dinner at Ike's minshuku was super tasty, we had a really good time eating and watching Ike make okonomiyaki (really good with lots of veggies which we missed in Japan). Definitely recommend getting the dinner/breakfast/lunch package, made our day after a long day's hike!

Set within 1.4 km of Nachi Beach and 1.1 km of Nachikatsuura Sports and Cultural Center, 自由自屋 offers rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Nachikatsuura. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is situated 2.5 km from Fudarakusanji Temple.

At the inn, all rooms include a desk. At 自由自屋 the rooms are equipped with a shared bathroom with free toiletries and a hairdryer. This property is basically right across the street from the train station. This was absolutely perfect for us. I think this must be a new facility because everything looked brand spanking new. There are only two rooms here which made it much more personal. The check in was a little odd, but it worked. The futons that you sleep on are the most comfortable we have had yet in Japan. In the United States, we are more accustomed to much softer sleeping surfaces. These were softer than most of the very stiff beds we have had in Japan.

Situated in Wakayama with Isonoura Beach nearby, Surf Imin G-Sun features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking, as well as access to a sauna. The property features quiet street views and is 2 km from Kasai Park and 3.6 km from Kii Kimoto Castle Ruins. The guest house has a hot tub and bicycle parking. We took some time to chill at Taka-G with a busy schedule planned. Directions were easy to follow. Taka-G greatest us on arrival. Basic but just what we needed and the room had air-conditioning. We had a fab day at the beach. Taka-G was so kind and even dropped us off at the station. For a chill no frills stay, this is the place.
