Good stay without cooked meals
The house is located on a small hill, so you can even see a bit of big torii. The stay does not include meals, however the instant noodle, breads for breakfast and other snacks and drinks were available to purchase. Coffee and tea were included in a stay. We all slept well.

Comfy guesthouse in convenient location
We enjoyed staying in the comfy tatami room of guest house Yui. Check-in was really easy and the common area was very cozy. There is a delicious ramen restaurant close by where we had dinner, absolutely recommend going there! For breakfast, we had some snacks that were on sale in the common area, but if that is not enough, the guesthouse is close to several shops.

We stayed here a second night as Hongu was a rest stop for us. The same room wasn't available on both nights when we reserved so we had to change rooms. There was minimal hassle. They asked us to leave our packed luggage in our room and they moved them to our new room for us.

The guesthouse is a walk up a hill, but still convenient to get to the Hongu bus terminal. A nice lady helped to check us in. We used the kitchen to prepare our noodles. They have instant noodles for sale, though we bought ours from a supermarket on the main street. A washer and dryer are available for use at a small fee.

Fabulous stay
A perfect place for our 2 nights in Hongu. Sanae is a wonderful host ensuring we had a comfortable stay, including providing information in advance about local restaurants. The guesthouse has excellent facilities in the kitchen and a nice lounge for relaxing with other guests. It is a short walk into the main town area and an even shorter walk to the public Onsen.

The guest house is located on top of the hill in Hongu, it’s very conveniently located, close to the center and the continuation of Kumano Kodo to Nachi.
The place has beautiful traditional rooms and great amenities. I loved everything about my stay!

ベランダで双子座流星群
本宮からは少し離れていて、坂の上にあるお宿で少しビックリしました。でもお部屋はエアコン、テレビ、ドレッサー、ドライヤーがありとても快適でした。リビングにもこたつや大きなテレビもあり、キッチンもきれいし
た。クリスマスの装飾も可愛かったです。自宅のような雰囲気です。軽食やドリンクも有料で置いてあったので便利だと思います。ただ、スーパーが一つでしかも閉店時間が早く、食事も1ヶ所なので早めに到着した方が良いと思います。(お寿司屋さんはとても美味しく、お店の方も面白かったです)オーナーの方も気さくで優しい方だったのでとても快適に過ごせました。またその日は双子座流星群があり、ベランダで観測できたことは本当に感動した体験でした。翌日、歩いて湯の峰温泉まで行く予定でしたが、宿の方のご厚意で車で送っていただき本当に助かりました。お陰でゆっくりつぼ湯や周辺の観光をすることができました。機会があればまた利用させていただきたいです。

Authentic guesthouse experience
Guest house Yui was by far the most cozy night we’ve spent in our stay in Japan. We had already 5 other stays at inns and hotels by then and this was by far my favourite. The Japanese style room we were staying had so comfortable bedding that we could hardly get up in the morning. The host of the guesthouse welcomed us and was helpful and hospitable. Our room, as well as the common areas, were very clean and well kept.
Additionally, it’s in a serene and quiet location not far from the shrine and the Tori gate. I strongly suggest staying there for a night or two.

Beautiful guesthouse with a fantastic common room
This was a little further to walk, but it was nearby to an onsen. The room was a lovely tatami room with access to a nice bath and western toilets. The common room was large and there was space to lounge around and cook your own meals. The also had ingredients and confectionary for sale with lots of information on display. The check-in process was great and the room was comfortable after a long three days of hiking.

Good guesthouse with 5-star views (from 2nd floor) and very nice owner.
Rooms were very comfortable and perfectly clean.
Owner was very nice and friendly (although speaking no English).
My children really liked the shaved ice made for them by the owner. This was a very happy memory for them.
The view from 2nd floor room balconies was superb - we can see the giant Torii and we can see beautiful night sky.

Great location and accommodation
I stayed at Guesthouse Yui during my Kumano Kodo hike. The accommodation was very clean comfortable and in a great location for those finishing their hike in Hongu. Despite arriving early my room was already prepared and available to use which was great after a long day of hiking! I really enjoyed chatting to the friendly host in the evening and having the convenience of local convenience stores nearby to purchase dinner and food for the next part of my hike.

オーナーさんが共働きで経営されているゲストハウス、オーナーさん宅、一棟貸し禮、今回お世話になったゲストハウス結が3棟並んで建っています。ゲストハウスと聞くと、どうしてもドミトリータイプを想像しがちですが、個室タイプのプライバシー確保パターンなので、その辺りのアピールされるともっと利用とコスパの発信ができるのでは。
到着した時は、当然オーナーさんは不在ですが玄関に連絡表があり、特に迷わず指定された部屋に入り、風呂のお湯溜め風呂に入り、洗濯物洗い、、
電気コタツの完備された部屋でまったりさせて戴きました。オーナーも6時過ぎにはお越しになり、お疲れのところつい話し込んでしまう私の相手をして頂きありがたかったです。
おすすめのゲストハウスです。

Very good choice for visiting Honggu area
Location is very good, 5 minutes walk to Honggu Daisha and the bus station nearby.
The house is very well equipped with stuff for showing and cooking. And they even prepared convenience food there, you can have what you want by just leaving the money.
Staff are very thoughtful, will give very clear instruction for self-check in.
