I enjoyed the family room as a solo traveler, plenty of space and the heating was good for me. I chose to stay here because it was too expensive to do temple stay during New Year holiday. The staff were so helpful and the food at the attached restaurant/cafe was delicious^^ I'd love to come back and stay here on my next visit to Koyasan. Very close to bus stop for convenient transport to the top attractions in the town.

We loved our stay here - everything was clean, comfortable beds including the sofa bed in the tatami area. The free breakfast was a bonus before we headed out for the day. The staff were welcoming and helpful especially when we used luggage transfer service. Great location, close to the bus and walking distance to ninenzaka and kiyomizu-dera temple. Our first day here it rained and they had umbrellas we could borrow which was great as we had not brought our own. Highly recommend a stay here!

Cosy traditional Japanese style decor with all you need kitchen and bathroom amenities, good WiFi and comfortable futons. It was a very pleasant stay and I would highly recommend if you're looking for a traditional Japanese home experience and want to explore nature off the beaten touristy paths.

This was my favourite accommodation during my latest trip to Japan. Such a beautiful house! The host is incredibly kind and welcoming, made my stay relaxing. Really lovely to meet him in person. :) He thoughtfully prepared everything I wouldn't even think of bringing with me. I felt so welcomed in Shingu, thank you and I would love to be back. :)

Perfect for either arriving late from the airport, or leaving early the following morning. A very fair price, very good hosts. Simple but effective and extremely good value for money when compared to Japan as a whole. Convenient and simple.

Super Friendly staff inglish speaking, the girl at check-in was super nice and welcoming. The place is clean and in a well located. Common space are good and it also a bar and pub open at 6pm and create nice vibes with locals come to drink something. So if you want you can easily connect with people. At the end that's a the place if you want to chill a little bit outside big city life.

Lovely hosts - I arrived drenched & exhausted from finishing my Kumano Kodo hike. They were very helpful with all my wet gear & boots, and (once I was finally dry) recommended local restaurants and onsen.

Great hostel just meters off the Kumano Kodo trail. Dinner was a tasty and plentiful bento box. Free filter coffee and tea available and good sized sleeping capsules in the dorms. The onsen was also a great bonus!

Beautiful property perched in the mountains near the start of the Kumano Kodo trail. Simon and his wife were great hosts providing a shuttle up to their house and then again to the start of the trail. The room was traditional and beautifully finished and we even sampled some homemade plum wine!

Quaint, clean and as expected for a humble Japanese homestay. The host was exceptionally helpful and sweet and offered local recommendations and shopping tips. They are right next door to a bicycle rental and I took full advantage and biked all over Kyoto. 7 mins walk away is the underground food mall. Having a laundry machine came in handy! It was air dry only during the time I was there and my clothes dried overnight.
