B&B in Wakayama Prefecture

Great experience. Location is great. Quiet and warm atmosphere. Dinner was well prepared. You have to sit down on tatami for dinner, but low chairs available. After meals, we were invited to the meditation. Morning service at 6:30 was a great way to start the day. Very nice atmosphere and it is run well. I do highly recommend.

A temple that’s over 1,000 years old, nestled in Koyasan. This was the most beautiful, memorable and spiritual experience in all of my adventures in Japan. I had a quiet suite to myself, with a private bath & an incredible view. Worth every yen. Buddhist vegetarian meals were among the best I’ve had in Japan - and I love meat. Morning service with the resident monks is an experience that I’ll never forget. As this is a temple, please be mindful of noise & respect the curfew; also, do not take...

We would like to express our special gratitude to every staff at Kumano-Bettei Nakanoshima! You made an unforgettable and the most memorable anniversary trip for us. From the moment we were greeted by the genuinely warm welcoming staff at the passenger waiting area, the deck, and the front desk and all throughout our 3 days 2 nights stay here, we have experienced the real "Omotenashi"here. Every moment of our stay here was just perfect!! We are absolutely certain that our stay at Kumano-Bettei...

This is a must place to visit/stay when you are around Osaka. 2 hr drive from Osaka but definitely worth the trip! Superb staff and management! Super clean and comfortable in every sense! Includes private dining for both breakfast and dinner. Dinner is served as multi-course meal - which was AWESOME! Private natural hot springs bath overlooking the ocean (ocean is literally few steps from the room). Great golf courses nearby as well. You will be glad you had a chance to stay here!

Owner Mr.Kawagugi friendly and takecare us like a friend. This place so comfortable. We'll back when go to Shirahama ^^

Beautiful hotel, the monks attending are really nice, definitely go to the morning ceremony, it is worth it. This is near everything and very centric to all the landmarks nearby. The "beds" are pretty hard since its traditional, but its manageable for a night or two. Meals were really good, definitely don't skip them and take the chance to eat traditional monk meals.

The monks were very friendly and helpful and everything was well coordinated so you knew what to expect. We really enjoyed our stay and wish to have been able to stay longer.

Property was immaculately clean. Staff were friendly and helpful and food was awesome.

This guesthouse was clean, modern . It had two rooms of tatami bedrooms with tv. There is a living room which has comfortable couches that can be converted into a bed. Nice kitchen, shower, washer. Very clean. Communication with the owner was excellent.

I loved the hot springs, was said it was one of the oldest in Shirahama. Boss lady was a great person, and she served with her heart to make sure everything was fine. Food was absolutely delicious! The fishes were all fresh caught by boss lady’s husband every day. All their vegetables were from their organic farm. The view from Boukai was amazing, very close to Beach. I highly recommend this guest house, made me feel like home vacation.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Truly Magical and Unforgettable Experience! This was one of the highlights of our Japan adventure! Such a magical place, with a beautiful temple and an authentic Japanese atmosphere. Our room was very comfortable, with our own shower and toilet, and the food was absolutely outstanding! The location is fantastic, within walking distance of some of the most beautiful temples. Everything was spotless and so well organised, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. We...

The private bath was superb! We experience quite a few private and public baths in Japan, and this was our favorite.

Simply beautiful. The onsen was so wonderful and the community onsen was even better. The staff were absolute professionals and went above and beyond our expectations. The breakfast and dinner were as we expected. I really liked their tempura but i loved the sashimi. My partner loved the beer dispenser:) We feel a got the best deal!

This is a unique experience to live in a Buddhist temple for one day. Across the street you can find the beautiful Koyasan cemetery. Pure magic. The dinner and breakfast served was magnificent. We also enjoyed the spa at night. We are truly grateful for this experience.

Clean room and fast internet.

Very courteous

Some of the other tourists were disrespectfully loud. There are locking coin laundry machines on site. Water bottle filling machine and very close to a Family Mart. The entire town is friendly and proud of their community.

This hotel is a different hotel that i found in Japan, Room design is very nice and colorful furniture. Private Onsen with beautiful sea view, private beach with beautiful sunset. The dinner was very delicious and staff very friendly. Want to back here again someday
