"It was out of our expectation. It is a standalone apartment that has everything you need. It is better to register all the guest’s information online via the email. That will make your check-in more convenient. We were impressed with the backyard. We planned to have dinner there. Unfortunately, it was cold and raining. We definitely wanna stay there again. It’s at a very great location, close to the shopping center, and the bus stop of Kumano hiking, just in a few mins walk. Even you don’t do hiking, it is also good for a bunch of friends for a retreat."

"J-HOPPERS is conveniently located. Just walk straight ahead after getting off the bus; it's at the fork in the road, or you can find it at the fork next to Tangfeng Prince. Google Maps is wrong; it leads to a long detour. It's also very close to the Millennium Hot Spring. I stayed in an 8-person room, each with individual capsule-style cubicles. The space was good; I could sit up and there was still plenty of room. The hot spring was very comfortable. Breakfast was free, consisting of congee. Even better than the facilities was the guesthouse's genuine hospitality and warm service. The owner even helped me carefully research the ticket purchase process for fishing in the river."

"There are fewer restaurants near the hotel. You can go to the hot springs when you stay in the hotel. Although the facilities are very old, it is really comfortable to soak in the soup after hiking! !

"The room was very clean. The landlady was kind and could communicate in Chinese using a translation software. I ordered her breakfast for 800 yen and it was very comfortable. I didn’t know what to choose from the meal. I just ate what she made and I was very satisfied. This B&B can pick you up from the station. I don’t speak Japanese, so I can only walk there. When I left, she drove me to the station. I liked it very much! The bus runs twice a day, and it’s difficult to take a taxi. The pick-up and drop-off is very pleasant."

"This was a surprise to us! The stay was fantastic and the facilities are super friendly to hiker and travelers. With community kitchen equipped every thing that you might needed, we enjoyed very much of dinner time with fellow hikers and great culture and trip exchanges! The washer and dryer are so helpful for hikers to have less packed cloth along the way. The food and drinks are right amount without going out for dinner or breakfast. The whole facility is clean, efficient, and cozy! We strongly recommend friends or fellow hikers to stay at any Sen Retreat brand along Kumano Kodo hiking"
