眺めがいいお部屋と露天風呂
バス停を降りたら目の前ですぐ分かりました。
お部屋からの景色は一面の杉林、下を見ると河原に掘ってある露天風呂が見え、風情があります。
夜露天風呂に入って見上げたら、満天の星空で感動しました。ただお湯はぬるく、出るとき寒かったです。お部屋のお風呂はかなり古い感じでした。
夕食のバイキングで、釜めしを注文できたり、色んな梅酒を試せたりするのは楽しかったです。
チェックイン機でチェックインしますが、支払い済みなのに支払い画面になり、フロントの人を呼んで対応してもらうのに少々時間がかかりました。

Kawayu Midoriya
Our rooms were Japanese style rooms that overlooked the river. Very nice. The buffet was very good and had a good choice of western and local dishes. The drink choices were excellent and staff was great. Treated us very well. The free shuttle service was an added bonus.

Enjoyable stay
The hotel was kind enough to offer us lift from /to Hongutaisha, which saved us a lot of waiting time. The room was spacious and clean. Both the dinner and breakfast were fine with a good selection of food items. The public bath, however, was less satisfactory, with only 2 hot baths and no cold one avaiable. Needless to say, there was no sauna. Overall, a nice hotel near the river which offers an ideal place for rest.

Excellent experience at Kawayu Midoriya
This review is based on Kawayu Midoriya very kindly upgrading us to a large, deluxe Japanese room. We'd originally been in the most basic room, which was on the first floor. However, when someone moved in above us the lighting fixture in the ceiling kept rattling. They moved us upstairs, to a huge gorgeous room overlooking the main street. I'm not sure if we would have had as wonderful an experience had we stayed in the room on the lower floor. The service itself was impeccable. We had a young college grad with excellent English skills bring us our meals. He was very kind and open to communicating with us. The baths/onsen themselves were among the best I've ever experienced...very authentic, mineral rich, quiet. Truly an exquisite experience.

Great location and onsen experience
Reception was friendly and spoke excellent English, which made check-in easy and welcoming. While the room was a little dated, it was clean and comfortable, and the location couldn’t have been better.
We especially loved the riverside onsen, provided by the hotel, it was awesome! My teens had me join them in digging out our own little onsen on the riverbank a little way downriver as well, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our stay. We had a lot of laughs adjusting the temperature to get it just right in our DIY hot spring.
The buffet meals offered plenty of variety and were very generous. We tried the hot pot option—just make sure to cook the meat thoroughly. A great stay overall with fun memories we’ll definitely treasure!

Beautiful onsen, mass market process
We stayed here while on Kumano Kodo because of the gorgeous outdoor onsen, right in the river. And this was truly an unforgettable experience.
Also the 'Japanese room' we booked turned out to be a huge top floor corner suite with stunning views to the river. The only thing that was missing from accommodation of this quality was a coffee machine. You could buy coffee at the reception, but the quality was not great and it wasn't always available.
Too bad that the food was a buffet format where we as vegetarians found very little to eat. Also breakfast buffet was mostly dinner food, very limited actual breakfast options. During hiking days you would want to head out properly and healthily fueled, but this is not the place to cater for western appetites. And coffee from the machine left a lot to hope for.
The reception staff was wonderful. They organized a shuttle to pick us up and whisk us back to the trail head as well as for a visit to Yonomine.

They gave us a corner room which was huge. Good housekeeping daily and they have both indoor and outdoor onsen. Loved the outdoor onsen, please spend some time in it as it has a good view of nature.
As we stayed 3 nights, we had3 breakfast and 3 supper. They were served in buffets and menu on each day were similar. It would be good to have more variation.

An excellent night on the trail after a long day's walk
If you start in Tanabe and make this your second night of the trip, this will be your longest day hiking (25km). This was a wonderful place to stay after a long (and rainy, for me) day on the trail. Excellent sento/onsen, and a very nice buffet dinner. Good service, and the receptionists spoke English very well. NB: If you call them and you miss the bus (or arrive too early for it), they will pick you up from Hongu Taisha at the end of the day.

Kawayu Modoriya impresses
Kawayu Midoriya is a beautiful hotel, with very friendly staff who made us all feel welcome. The Japanese rooms are huge and the floor to ceiling windows allow for a spectacular view over the river. The rooms have a wonderful bath that is deeper than any I have ever seen, and lounge chairs that allow for a relaxing evening. There is a large indoor onsen, but also two communal outdoor onsens just next to the river that can be enjoyed all day and even under the stars. The vast selection of food for breakfast and dinner was a highlight, and probably the best I have had in Japan.

Luxury on the Kumano Kodo
A ryokan with an unmatchable view of the awesome river and mountains of Wakayama. An excellent midpoint rest stop for folks on the Kumano Kodo. It has its own hot spring sources indoor and outdoor baths by the river, karaoke rooms, it's own souvenir and sundries shop.
Daily free shuttle services to major sights in Hongu are available so that beats having to wait for public busses.
Meals can feel a bit rushed as it offers a semi buffet services and you may have to jostle with large tour group guests at meal time!
Would I return? Oh yes!

Extremely outdated hotel that desperately needs an upgrade (both in staff and rooms)
We were greated friendly upon arrival. The staff at the check-in was not particularly friendly (but also not unfriendly). The room itself was outdated and dirty. Spider webs were visible at multiple places, the airco couldn't cool (only heat) and the staff wasn't very friendly. I wouldn't recommend this accomodation to anyone.

Beautiful stay
The rooms were absolutely gorgeous and very comfortable. The outdoor mineral baths were right on the river - such a beautiful and peaceful view. Breakfast and dinner were great. Highly recommend!!

Hotel Midoriya- Kawayu onsen
Great hotel & loved the Riverside hot pools, although they became quite lively in the evening & our room was directly over them
Breakfast quality was not great but the evening meal was much better

川湯みどりやを探しました
川湯バス停下車後すぐの立地でしたが、看板には
山水館となっていた為、みどりやさんを探しました。
当日は雨天で17時近くの到着だった為か人通りも無く
少し迷いました。 電話したところ山水館イコールみどりやとのこと。 何か表記が欲しかったです。

熊野古道トレッキング
初めて熊野古道トレッキングをしました。滝尻王子～継桜を経て熊野本宮。その後小雲取越え、大雲取越えを経て那智大社。川湯温泉はちょどその途中にあり休憩するには最適な場所でした。二泊し、熊野本宮訪問等意義ある滞在でした。また継桜からの徒歩に疲れ切ったので途中発心門王子でバスに乗ることにしましたが5分遅れで乗り遅れたのでみどりやに電話した処ご親切に車で迎えに来て頂き大変助かりました。

Fantastic baths
La habitacion que nos toco era perfecta, muy espaciosa y en la ultima planta con vistas a los banos. Sin duda los banos son su punto fuerte por el hecho de poder estar al lado del rio.

熊野古道中辺路の旅
少し早い夏休みをとり、夫婦で、初めて熊野古道中辺路をウォーキングすることにしました。結構過酷なウォーキングだと聞いていたので不安でいっぱいでしたが、川湯みどりやさんに宿泊させていただき、ゆっくり温泉につかり、美味しいお料理を頂き、熊野古道中辺路のウォーキングを終えることができました。大変お世話になり、ありがとうございました。
また、バスの時間の都合で、大斎原を見逃してしまい、宿の方に相談したところ、朝早くに大斎原まで送っていただけることになり、悔いなく旅を終えることができました。心より感謝申し上げます。

Large hotel from another age
Although it is large, Kawayu Midoriya is run in a way that makes it feel intimate. The service is simply great. The decor and style of the place is very 1970s/80s which is fun. Access to the riverside springs at Kawayu Onsen is unsurpassed. The food, while not great, comes via a large Japanese buffet, which is interesting for those who are new to Japanese food in Japan. Overall, I would thoroughly recommend passing a few days here.

Fancier than I expected!
Our room was like a suite, with 6 rooms on the top floor, so much space (especially compared to the hotels we stayed in in Kyoto and Osaka) and very clean. We were so graciously attended to, even my 5yo daughter was outfitted with a properly-sized yukata. The baths are lovely, open-air by the river, though I preferred being directly in the river at the sennin site. The food is buffet style and felt a bit like a cafeteria meal. Staff are super-attentive and helpful.

This is not our style, it is a large institutional facility with many tour buses. But, it was clean and professional. The food was disappointing. Great location and lovely bath at river. Outstanding helpful service.

食事が残念
ハーフバイキングでの夕食でしたが、バイキングのメニューには素朴なものが多すぎて、あれもこれも食べたいと思いませんでした。家にいるときと変わらないので、旅行に来ているのに…と満足できませんでした。
お風呂は、露天風呂が川のすぐそばでゆったり気分良く過ごせました。
しかし、湯着はお湯に入るとふわふわめくれて、心もとなく、
冬場なこともあって、お湯から上がると湯着が非常に冷たく感じました。
