The western beds were terrible.”

Might be better to select the tatami beds. The western beds had old springs. And the room has no view unlike the tatami rooms.

It is close to bus stop”

If you want riverside soaking experience then this is a great choice. Conveniently located besides the bus stop, though buses run so infrequently like 2 or 3 times a day. i stayed in the western room and are made with nice cedar. Bed are small, one of their staff, Honda, speaks good English. But I do not like Buffet breakfast and buffet dinner. My personal preference is more about Japanese dinner like grill fish or beef. Not spaghetti fried chicken and stuff. But they do have the more traditional stuff like tempura, salad, and fish.

Classic onsen ryokan with great staff for Kumano Kodo hiking trips.”

Apart from the distance and time required to travel to the area, this is the place to stay if one wants to have some privacy as room have their own bathroom and toilet, which is the biggest difference to the other hostels and ryokan in the area. Very friendly staff, many of them speak good english. Open air onsen is excellent, they provide bathing towel/cloth for people as it is a two pool mix bath and one can choose to bath at either pool. The only problem area for me is that there are places in the room that have dust gathering and there is always a slight Citrus smell especially when the air condition is turned on, probably from cleaning solvent, and the hair dryer have seen better days, but most old ryokan is like this to be clear, all in all a very pleasant stay.

Ideal Kawayu Onsen hotel”

Kawayu Onsen is a relatively remote but spectacular riverside village in Hongu, Wakayama Prefecture. While there are aabout a dozen smaller minshuku and ryokan, the Midoriya offers serviced hotel facilities with the only riverside rooms in the village. We stayed in the Japanese style rooms, adjacent to the river. The Midoriya offers indoor baths and outdoor pools that were popular across the whole day. Good value, very helpful staff.

Best place to stay in Kawayu!”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Midoriya, from the moment we arrived and were welcomed by the very friendly staff. They were so helpful and genuinely pleasant during our entire stay (3 nights). We stayed in the Japanese style room and our beds were made up for us each day at 7:00pm, and disassemble each morning. The location was perfect, with a bus stop 10 meters from the Ryokan. The bus took us to the start and finish of all our walks each day. Not a lot of buses scheduled though. The room was absolutely wonderful (twin), very big with a delightful view of the river. The onsen was great. Breakfasts excellent. Once again, the staff were so friendly! This was the best hotel of our entire trip and I would definitely go back.

You’ll pay a little more but this felt like luxury. We enjoyed our riverside view and pre dug onsen so we did not have to go dig our own. The staff were very sweet with our toddler and made us feel very welcome. The shuttle was the highlight as the busses don’t run regularly to Hongu or the other sights. Being able to call the reception to get picked up at the end of a long day of hiking was perfect.
