Excellent location(buses stop right in front of the hotel), great dinner and breakfast, good price near the trail of Kumano Kodo. I wish I knew they pickup from the bus station and provide free shuttles to local shines and Kumano Kodo trail.

A luxury and refreshing resort experience after two-day hiking. The experience of digging onsen was exceptional! The indoor and outdoor onsen were also fantastic. Dinner was traditional kaiseki. Definitely wanted to stay there again.
