The staff were very friendly and extra helpful. They properly explained the features and facilities of the hotel, as well as the rules and regulations. They were also very prompt. Dinner was served exactly at 6:30PM. Talking about the dinner, it was exceedingly delicious and sumptuous. There were a total of 13 Japanese dishes, and the staff took time to explain how to eat them and in what order. The hotel also had both private and public onsens (shared with other guests). My friends and I had the best experience, given that we had just completed our Kumano Kodo. Breakfast was equally delicious. Lastly, we are deeply grateful to the staff member who drove us to the nearest bus station to ensure that we did not miss our forward schedule. Everyone, book your stay at the Yunominesou. It’s super worth it.

Beautiful old ryokan in the center of Yunomine Onsen, with key historical sites located just across the street. The onsens in the ryokan, especially those outdoors, are lovely. The kaiseki ryori dinner was incredible -- so luxurious, interesting, delicious and served in a semi-private dining room. Given our limited exposure to kaiseki, we appreciated that our server explained the food we were eating in English and how best to eat it. Our room was spacious with a view of the center of town. We were hiking the Kumano Kodo, so also appreciated the friendly staff helping us figure out how to take the bus the following morning to our next trailhead. I read my husband an article years ago about hiking the Kumano Kodo in which Ryokan Adumaya was highlighted, and have wanted to stay there ever since. We were not disappointed!

Watarase Onsen Hotel Yamayuri features a hot spring bath and free private parking, and is within 8 miles of Hosshinmon Oji Shrine and 12 miles of Kumanokodo Nakahechi Museum of Art.

Beautiful location on the river…the private onsen baths were very nice and much larger than expected and were easy to find openings many times in the night and morning. Perfect temperature. The hotel traditional breakfast was excellent. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

The room is small but comfortable. The hotel guests share the hot spring and also the meals at the nearby Sansuikan Kawayu Midori. The buffet dinner and breakfast are fantastic! Open air hot spring is by the river which is extremely unique!

The property was spacious and clean. The property gave us snacks and drinks which were very delicious and thoughtful. The owner was so friendly and went through the whole house with us. It was the most pleasant experience on Kumano Kodo.
