Takiyoshi

This modern guesthouse had it's own onsen and a lift to rooms on the higher floors. Our spacious room was traditional Japanese. There are no ensuite facilities, the toilets in Japan are exceptionally clean, and the shared basin area was always available when needed. We slept well. The property has its own Onsen, which was very welcome after a day of hiking, as was their icy cold beer. The Youmine ancient onsen, the oldest hot spring in Japan, is across the road. Our evening meal and breakfast were fresh and delicious japanese food served in the dining room. Our host's English was limited, but with the help of Google translator, they went out of their way to help us explore wet weather options if needed. Our forwarded luggage had a handwritten note thanking us for our stay. We would definitely stay at Takiyoshi again if we return to Tanabe.

This was our favorite place to stay along the Kumano trail. We appreciate the great hospitality, renovated rooms, delicious meals, and great hospitality. We forgot our hiking poles and the owner kindly brought them to our destination, saving us a several hour journey to get them back. They have a toddler, so we are sorry for the inconvenience and grateful for their assistance! Top choice!

The traditional Japanese accommodations were great and very clean (recently updated bathrooms and new elevator). The baths were very relaxing and the food was amazing!! The young couple who owns it works very had to make your stay great and we saw that they were very helpful to another group who had some last minute transportation issues. We wished we could have stayed here longer!

The inn is cared for by a young couple with a toddler. We enjoyed the excellent meals and wonderful facilities . The inn is Japanese style with Tatami mats, and we shared a bathroom . It is extremely private toilet for women separate from men. The Onsen is used for bathing and hot soaking. There are slippers for entering the hotel , another for the bathroom . Fun and comfortable.

世界遺産のつぼ湯からすぐ近くで立地も良く、他の方もおっしゃっている通り、スタッフの方たちが本当に親切で明るくて、 ホスピタリティに溢れていて、臨機応変に対応してくださるので たいへん満足な宿泊になりました！ さらに夕ご飯も朝ご飯も、どっちもすごい美味しい！（正直お宿では朝ご飯はそんなに期待していないのですが、こちらは朝から全部美味しかった❣️） 部屋も温泉も清潔で、温泉も熱過ぎず、ぬる過ぎず、長く入れる心地良さです。 大阪から何度も通っている常連さんとお風呂でお話しましたが、常連になるのも納得です。また熊野古道を歩く時は利用させてもらいます。
