J-Hoppers Kumano Yunomine Guesthouse is situated in Hongu, a 10-minute drive away or a 70-minute walk on the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Route from Kumano Hongu Taisha Grand Shrine.

This guesthouse is located along one of the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Routes and Yunomine Hot Spring, said to be one of the oldest hot springs baths in Japan, is a 5-minute walk from the property. It's very tidy and comfortable. Despite being a dorm, one could have his private box with bed, night table, and locker. I really appreciated the bento box for dinner and lunch box for the day after.

It is set less than 1 km from Shingu Castle Ruins Park and provides a shared kitchen. The guest house offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. From communications prior to our arrival to meeting our host and the entire stay, we had a wonderful experience! The kitchen is large and fully stocked, they have a washer and dryer, and the rooms were exactly as listed. Our host was courteous and the staff would keep the guest house super clean. They even gave us a bottle of fresh squeezed locally farmed mandarin juice, which was delicious.

The surroundings and the preserved house was quiet, exquisite and comfortable. There are only 2 bedrooms in the house and guests are given free access to the living and dining room. The manager Hitomi and Hikaru speak very good English and were hospitable and personable. Gave my plasters for my muscle aches and helped to wash my clothes and delivered to my room within 30min. The provided breakfast was delicious. The back house also holds a treasure trove of old books and is more relaxed.
