Located in Susami, 24 km from Kishu Museum of Art, anakashico Hostel Kumano Kodo provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. The property is around 25 km from Kamitonda Concert Hall, 25 km from Saki-no-Yu Onsen Spa and 26 km from Tanabe City Museum of Art. The property is non-smoking and is situated 24 km from Heisogen Park. I spend 5 super relaxing days in Susami to flee the busy cites of Japan. The Town packs everything you need to calm down and enjoy a peaceful time in Nature. There is a coffee, multiple restaurants, an izakaya and a supermarket within max. 15min walking distance. The Ocean is right across the street in 1min. walking distance and Susami is surrounded by beautiful hiking / pilgrimage trails, waterfalls and other small coastal towns that offer a variety of unique sightseeing spots or activites (you can find all information in the local tourism centre). Although the hostel is located near the street you dont get bothered by the car noises (there are hardly any cars passing by after 6pm). I came during november where there were only 2 other travelers besides me. While the other travelers passed by on a pilgrimage i stayed in susami and had a great time with sosuke, the super friendly and helpful hostel host, who sometimes invited his friends over and let me participate in their talks around the campfire or other local activities. Anakashico hostel and the entire South of Wakayama area is a place where i definately want to return to and continue to explore more of japans beautiful nature and slow and peaceful country side.

All units in the hostel are equipped with a TV. All rooms come with a private bathroom with a bidet, a hairdryer and slippers. The units at Albany inn Shirahama アルバニーイン白浜 feature air conditioning and a desk. The owners were very helpful and friendly. The beds were comfortable. The well equipped shared kitchen is spacious and offers a large fridge with freezer as well as a table for having dinner with four people. We would definitely come back. It is only a short drive to the zoo and other activities as well as shirahama beach and the beautiful coastline.

All guest rooms will provide guests with a fridge. I like how the host is available for chats and recommendations. And there's laundry and konbinis at a walking distance. Also, a good place for those doing the Kumano Kudo.
