Fabulous Onsen with amazing food
An enjoyable and comfortable night made special by the amazing food. The quantity of the food was more than we would normally want and would have been happy with less, but the quality and presentation was exceptional. The staff were lovely and very welcoming.

Old charm place
This is supposed to be the oldest place in the area and although tired it does have an old time charm. The staff are very welcoming and attentive. The food is excellent and served in the room in a most traditional manner. Only a toilet in the room so you need to go to the onsen to shower which is a good experience in itself

Beautiful Old Ryokan
Adumaya was the perfect place to stay in Yunomine. The location was great, the bath facilities were beautiful, and the meals were spectacular. The room had a beautiful view of the hot springs. It was the perfect place to stay after 3 hard days hiking.

Our stay at the ryokan was truly magical. Although it is a larger property with many rooms, it felt peaceful and intimate during our visit, and the service we received was exceptional from start to finish. The staff were gracious, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. Having access to a private onsen was an unforgettable experience — with both indoor and outdoor baths, nothing compared to sitting in the warm water under the night sky, watching the snow fall. It was serene and deeply memorable. The meals, beautifully prepared and served in our room, were absolutely wonderful. Every detail of the experience made us feel cared for — even a little like royalty. The hotel itself is elegant and calming, and everything runs with quiet precision and warmth. This was easily a six-star experience for us. We will remember our stay here for a very long time.

Superb
What a beautiful way to begin our trek. The room was stunningly gorgeous overlooking the town of Yunomine. I could have stayed in the baths for hours. The meals were traditional, delicious, and very special. I was also gratefully surprised that tattoos were permitted in the hotel's public bath, but was glad we booked a room with a private onsen (more of a small wooden bathtub fed by hot water from the onsen) just in case. My vegetarian husband's diet was respected and accommodated here.

In-hotel onsen in Yunomine Onsen
The kaiseki meals provided in-room were very satisfying. There was no in-room bath, however there was a good-sized bath with natural hot spring water in the hotel. The futons provided were comfortable. The location was perfect, in the middle of Yunomine Onsen. Staff were gracious and very accomodating.

Lovely traditional ryokan experience!
We had a lovely one night stay here at this traditional ryokan with an unbeatable location, right by the Yunomine bus stop and across from the famous Tsuboyu. Our specific room was clean, spacious and had an attached outdoor onsen bath and garden. The shared facility outdoor onsen was also quite nice. It was rejuvenating to soak in the onsen after a 9-hour hike from Chikatsuyu to Kumano Hongu Taisha! The food was delicious with generous portions and served right in the room.

The best of Japanese Style
Had the most amazing stay here during our Kumano Kodo walk. All of the staff were lovely. We had a Japanese room with living and bedroom area. We were welcomed with tea and the dinner, which was served in our room, was an absolute banquet. Every element was explained by the young man who served us and we felt thoroughly spoilt. Breakfast was also like a fine dining experience. If we had this type of personal dining experience in the UK it would cost us a fortune! From beginning to end, our stay was an absolute treat. Thank you for a memorable stay.

Very nice ryokan at Yunomine onsen area
This ryokan costed more than other places in the area but we found the stay justified the higher price. The location was at the center of the small onsen town and the bus stop was right in front of the ryokan. We had the second floor room where we could see the town from our window and the view was beautiful. The dinner was amazing. It was the multi-course traditional kaiseki dinner. The ryokan had its own onsen, both indoor and outdoor, which was very convenient and super nice after a long day hiking.

An experience unlike anything else.
Ryokan Adumaya was an unforgettable accommodation that isn't one to miss. It's easy to see how it has been in business for decades if not a few centuries. Upon arriving, we were given a brief tour of the facilities and shown to our room. We took advantage of the provided Yukata and made our way to the Private Onsens, which were heavenly after a rainy day of hiking. After spending time in the refreshing waters we made our way back to the room where we were served an incredibly impressive multiple course meal consisting several local delicacies. After dinner, the beds were made for us, and we finished our night. The breakfast was no different, delicious and elaborate. We chose a traditional room, I believe it was the Shitan room (not sure the spelling), the room was quiet and comfortable. Check in and check out was easy. The location is right in the middle of town, across the street from the public bath and cash only restaurant, and almost next door to the bar. Highly recommend making the Ryokan Adumaya a part of your Kumano Kodo hike, perfect location for your first rest day.

Stayed in the Maki room. Fabulous. Well worth the cost - it was a deliberate decision to treat ourselves. Using the cedar wood onsen tub in the room was a life changing moment. I enjoyed it more than I ever thought possible and made me keen to try other onsens that we came across later in our vacation in Japan. We are vegetarians but had agreed for this hike we would eat fish if offered and we found the in-room serving of the meal to be extraordinary. I've never experienced such before and what a place and context to experience a multi-course meal for the first time.

Excellent food and relaxing stay
The food and the onsen are the real highlights here. Food was very beautiful and served in your room. The waiter was an absolute gem and so kind. Also appreciated them providing me with a bento box instead of breakfast on the second morning due to my early departure to start the Kohechi. Only wish they had shown me the newspapers to stuff in my shoes on arrival, not a day later, and that there was a little sitting area with a view of the street when they brought me to my room, instead of leaving that up to me to discover later.

Best place we stayed in Japan
Best place we stayed during our trip to Japan! The staff were very friendly, the food was incredible and copious and the onsens were amazing, especially after (and before) a big day of walking! The Ryokan feels very traditional and old fashioned (in a good way). The rooms were beautiful and we felt very lucky overlooking the main street in Yunomine Onsen. Thank you for having us!

Our room with private bath was one of the most beautiful we had in Japan. It was spacious with a lovely deck, bathroom, and bath. The location is right in town, which is welcome after the hike into Yunomine Onsen from the Kumano Hongo Taisha Grand Shrine. The staff was very attentive and helpful. A beautiful and delicious dinner and breakfast were served in the room. A great way to relax after a long day of hiking!

Paradise at Ryokan Adumaya
I wanted to experience one traditional Ryokan in my trip to Japan and Ryokan Aduymaya did not disappoint. I had a lovely time at this beautiful hotel. The staff went above and beyond. The dinner was delivered to my room, so much food, it was so delicious and I loved how accommodating they were with being a vegetarian. My view of the town from my room was gorgeous. The onsen at the hotel was perfect and relaxing. I would definitely stay at this Ryokan if I were coming back through Yunomine Onsen.

Amazing Stay with very friendly service
We had a room with it’s own private onsen bath so we did not visit the public baths. The room is fabulous with lots of room - probably a little too big for just myself and my son. The hotel is on the Kumano Kodo trail which is a challenging trail either to or from the Hongu Taisha shrine. Whilst there is a path and clearly signposted - there are parts which are quite steep. The Yunomine Onsen area is a quiet and enchanting town and we would highly recommend this onsen for your overnight visit. The food was varied and kept on coming!! It was so delicious. It was definitely a highlight of our Japan trip.

Beautiful place in a beautiful setting
The hotel is old and full of charm. The staff were super helpful, and the food, incredible! It just kept coming, with three courses meal where the lovely young staff explained about each dish with passion and kindness. The onset on site is beautiful and includes both indoor and outdoor areas with access all night until 9 am. Across the road is the oldest Olsen in the area. The hotel is located in a tinny picturesque town, and along with the smoke from the hot spring, the stay felt like a dream. I had a strong but lovely massage in my room which I pre booked, and the coffee was excellent (though somewhat pricy). A little anecdote I discovered was that my fav author Hanukkah Murakami stayed at the hotel which made my stay that little bit more special. Thank you for having me.

A unique experience
I enjoyed the experience of staying in a ryokan. The service is lovely and you feel very pampered having a multi-course meal served in your room. The room itself was large with a nice sitting area, private toilet and sink. Showers are in the onsen. There is an indoor and outdoor onsen, and individual onsen. It is located in town, opposite the bus stop, which is very convenient. I found the futon and pillow to be the least comfortable of all the places I stayed. Other than that, it was a nice experience, if a little expensive.

Quintessential Onsen village
Reserve early and stay here. We spoke with many other hikers who stated that they tried to stay here but was not available. The tradition speaks for itself. We wanted to experience a high end Ryokan and it did not disappoint. The facility is a bit dated but that added to the charm. The service was top notch and the food was amazing, Kaiseki at it's best. Highly recommend staying here.

Third day on Kumano Kodo
Ryokan Adumaya located right at exit from Kumano Kodo as you arrive. Reception excellent with a tour of the facilities so you know where everything is. Luggage was in our room waiting for our arrival. Really liked the onsen as it was more genuine than the tiled onsens previously. Dinner in our room served by our lovely server with everything explained was great though way too much food but i guess that's the ryokan experience . Same with breakfast. Loved having ou futons laid out for us in the evening after dinner and gathered up in the morning before breakfast. if I had one negative it's the fact that the ryokan experience isolates you from other guests

Lovely stay in historic onsen town
We loved our stay at Ryokan Adumaya. The onsen was very traditional and had both and indoor and outdoor section. It was not busy at all and I had the female section to myself twice. The rooms were traditional tatami style with a internal balcony overlooking the town which was lovely. We were served dinner and breakfast in the room which was delicious. The location was great and right in the centre of Yunomine Onsen and the bus stop is right out the front of the hotel. One local told us that the Emperor's son stayed at the hotel previously!

Experience of a lifetime
Such a wonderful stay at Ryokan Adamano. The meal was incredible and such a wonderful cultural experience that our family will never forget. The town is like a movie set, we absolutely loved it. Our room was simply beautiful, spacious and comfortable. We were a family of five adults and had plenty of space. Highly recommend.

Fantastic baths!
Second time staying here, and might stay again. It's a little on the expensive side compared to other options, but the experience is worth it if you can pay for it. The baths are simply beautiful and have a nice smell from the wood used in the building. Meals were served in the room, and were very filling. All staff were nice and friendly.

Amazing place to stay -- Room rate reflects its location
The location can't be beat -- right at the bus stop in the heart of Yunomine Onsen. And the food ... the food was incredible. Three huge courses served in your room. The guestroom was spacious but right near the service kitchen and thus very noisy in the morning.

Staying in this ryokan for 2 nights was a huge treat, everything about it was excellent. Dinner and breakfast were like Michelin star food. The onsen bath in our room was fun, the public onsen baths were beautiful, especially the outdoor ones.

Amazing food and service, perfect location
I wanted to give my 16 year old son an experience at a traditional Japanese inn, and Ryokan Adumaya did not disappoint. The service was impeccable, and the Japanese kaiseki dinner and traditional breakfast served in our room was one of the best meals of our trip. The location is excellent, right in front of the bus stop. However, the guest room, public bath, and rest of the hotel are showing signs of age and could use a refresh. But this would not prevent me from staying again.

Wonderful onsen experience
We enjoyed the comfortable and lovely ryokan Adumaya. The people were lovely and the lodge itself endearing. The private in-room onsen was disappointingly cramped but the downstairs (public) onsen in the hotel was wonderful and nearly empty. The meal was impressive and served to us in our room by a charming and professional hospitality intern from Indonesia (Chintami) who made our evening complete. Wonderful!

Authentic Luxury at Ryokan Adumaya
Our stay at Ryokan Adumaya was an absolute highlight of the journey—an authentic Japanese experience from start to finish. We stayed in the Maki Deluxe Room, which felt more like a beautiful apartment, complete with its own private onsen and lovely enclosed balcony. Relaxing in the onsen after a day of walking was pure bliss. Sleeping on traditional futons on the tatami mats added to the cultural immersion, and the in-room dining was beyond generous—the courses just kept coming, each one as delicious and artfully presented as the last. It was an experience we’ll never forget!

If our experiences at other places on the trail was an example of “regular” Japanese meals and living, this place was what I imagine nobles on the trail were used to. Fully traditional Japanese rooms, baths and meals allowed us to imagine ourselves as Japanese nobility.

A true window into Japanese culture and the art of relaxation
The rooftops of this Ryokan are the first thing you can see as you approach Yunomine Onsen from the trail from Hongu. You can't have a more convenient location. We especially enjoyed the Ryokan's outdoor baths, which were beautifully situated among peaceful plantings. The Ryokan experience itself (with a room attendant, meals in the room, futons and traditional barley pillows!!!, and access to baths) is unique and precious. I'm not sure I have ever felt more relaxed than at the end of our stay here.

It feels like a taylor made service
It is not common to feel any place as part of you as you guys made it. We experienced some issues while walking because the dual certification takes a little more time, so we lost the last bus to the Ryokan. The night was over us, so walking was not the best decision. You helped us get into the Ryokan, and we were received by a great team, especially Miwa, who was patient and acted like an old friend. That night felt like we had arrived at a best friend's house.

Stay here - you won't regret it
Truly special. Stayed in the Ichii Deluxe Room. Cannot recommend enough. Look for your booking name on the outside of the hotel and you will know you are in the right place. Welcomed after a hot and humid day with a in room Onsen. Our room host, Nozomi was wonderful and is an asset to the Ryokan. She had an awesome sense of humour and was so efficient in looking after us. The food was nothing short of spectacular and there was so much food we couldn't always eat it all. Very accommodating of dietry requirements and a great drinks menu which we made use of! The motel Onsen was great - use the outdoor one as well as they are so relaxing. We stayed 2 nights and were so pleased we had chosen our rest day in Yunomine Onsen.

Ryokan Adumaya
Wonderful traditional ryokan experience. The staff was so gracious and welcoming. The location in the center of the village was incredibly convenient, giving us easy access to the Tsubo-yu bath and the bus stop. The property was charming. Our room was very large, well-furnished and comfortable, and had a wonderful view over the village center. The food was excellent - prepared and delivered with very great care. The onsite onsen facilities were fantastic. I wish we could have stayed here one extra night to enjoy the baths again!

The place is located at the centre of Yunomine Onsen, right in front of the bus stop. The room was cozy and clean, and we had a delicious dinner and breakfast served in our room. There's a small onsen inside the ryokan, with a nice outdoor space, and it was very convenient since we were too tired to go outside and we were spending only one night in Yunomine.

I would pay the same price even if it was just for the meal
At first I thought this was an expensive place, and yes, it kinda is. However, considering not only the beautiful baths (inside, outside, steam bath) but also the exceptional service and the 14 (!) dishes for dinner and the 9 dishes for breakfast, it's worth it five times over. You get to eat dinner and breakfast in your own wonderful tatami room that has a nice view over the yunomine village and lots of green. The dinner is extensive and amazing and even inclused a small glass of the Ryokans own Umeshu. If I could, I'd give 10 starts to the meals and service.

Authentic stay in a great location, with some unfortunate issues
A traditional ryokan with an A+ location and dated interiors. This was the largest hotel we stayed in on the Nakahechi, and we felt it with the lower quality of service. The shared onsen was clean and comfortable; the private onsen left something to be desired compared to Tsubo-yu across the street. Our room was spacious and looked right over Yunomine Onsen, but had dated furniture and the sink was covered with dead bugs. The dinner (served in our room) was an elaborate kaiseki and was lower quality than others on our trek. Breakfast is also traditional kaiseki - we recommend those desiring a western-style breakfast to make other arrangements (for example - there was no coffee served). We got a terrible night’s sleep here, primarily due to the pillows, which were very small and filled with large, hard rice kernels. We’re open minded, but they were truly awful. Our biggest issue was with the gentleman who served us our meals (both dinner and breakfast). He was obviously very sick and was having a hard time hiding it. The poor guy could barely breathe, sneezing and coughing beneath his mask. He should not have been working, let alone serving guests food. Management should not have allowed such a sick employee to interface with guests in that capacity. We left feeling very anxious about getting sick as we set off for the two hardest days of our trek.

We stayed two nights in the Ryokan Adumaya in Yunomine Onsen. It was a really great experience of an Onsen and Ryokan. The Onsen baths alone are worth the stay.

An unforgettable experience🙏. The bus stop is literally in front of the hotel, it could not be more convenient.

Ryokan Adumaya is directly across from the bus stop. When I arrived I saw they had a welcome sign out front for me with my name on it. Reception was kind and gracious. I enjoyed walking around Yunomine before settling in for an amazing kaiseki dinner while my futon was laid out for me. I took advantage of the onsen--there is both an indoor and outdoor onsen. They also were understanding of my tattoos so I didn't need to hide them. Also, the onsen are open all night so you can enjoy a star filled soak in the outside bath. It's so quiet here.

A Great Place to Rest after a Rainy Hike
This Ryokan is situated so conveniently in the centre of Yunomine Onsen and at the bus stop. The food for lunch and breakfast was delicious and the service attentive. The onsen at the hotel made it so easy to have this experience. The water was hotter than expected, so that is just something to pay attention to. The room did not have a bathroom and so you are expected to shower at the onsen which is part of the whole experience. They give us nice yukatas to go from room to onsen and back. A special shout out to the individual who dried and cleaned our hiking shoes. We arrived on a rainy day and it was so appreciated that the next day we had shoes that were ready to go. A great place to stay after a rainy hike!

Very nice ryokan
Very nice traditional ryokan. We had a superb meal in our room, with excellent service. The only thing that was a bit subpar was the state of the common areas. The hallways are a little shabby but everything else is great.

Adumaya
Very expensive room with in-room spa (Onsen). The bed was the most uncomfortable of any of the accommodations. I did not enjoy the in-room dining since I am traveling alone and after a day walking solo through the forest I would have enjoyed encounters with other hikers. Yunomine is a bit over sold or over hyped as a destination.

The best in Yunomine
Everything is perfect, especially the meals served in your bedroom, it was the highlight of our last day on kumano kodo. There's outdoor onsen too. Locate facing the bus station to Hongu and Kii Tanabe. The air-conditioning need to improve, it's only one unit for the whole bedroom and living room. Your body get warm after the onsen, you need more cooling air over night.

Great Place, Just Not for Us
This one is conflicting for us. If you're a person seeking a luxury experience with in-room meal service and that gives feelings of being a cut-above the rest, then this is the place for you. But in our case, that isn't what we enjoy when traveling and seeking new experiences. The public baths are incredible. Don't be deterred by some of the comments here; the baths are old, but the water is quality, the outdoor bath is next-level, and everything about the best of the onsen experience is captured here. Our room was extravagant, and the in-room bath was something we'll never forget. But we would have preferred not to take our meals in our room and make real connections with guests and staff alike. We also found a lack of freshness in some of the vegetables, and I must say the "onsen congee" at breakfast is truly unenjoyable.

An authentic ryokan for the authentic soul
We blew past our fellow Westerners regretably discussing politics and completely immersed ourselves in the culture and history of the establishment. The aged wood and paper walls have such a striking ambiance. It is an impressive structure that offers a truly unique experience if you are brave enough to embrace it. Stay in the traditional shitan room, wear the yukata and sandals, and bathe and eat like the Japanese. You will not be disappointed.

This was the perfect place to end our Kumano Kodo hike in. The onsen baths are wonderful, especially the outdoors ones. The meals were incredible too, even the vegans in our party got a wonderful meal with many small and delicious dishes. We arrived after a long day to a bus stop 2 miles away from Ryokan Adumaya, only to find out that we have just missed the bus, and the next one is scheduled in 2 hours. We called the ryokan and they were able to arrange one of their staff members to come and pick us up from the station, which we were very appreciative of.

The traditional onsen was an incredible experience. Checking in was seamless. It was very private during our stay and only saw a few other guests. The room was very huge and clean, with a toilet and sink to use. Private despite being a short distance from the main road in Yunomine. We had the kaiseki experience for dinner. Everything was tasty and there was a huge variety of foods to choose from. Our host spoke English and was incredible at describing everything to us.

Really comfortable and relaxing stay after a hard day's hike
One of my favourite Ryokans in my trip so far. Everyone was so friendly and helpful even though I arrived sodden and wet after a 10km hike! The room was very comfortable and spacious. I used the inside onsen which was just heavenly, although it was too cold and pouring with rain to use the outside onsen. The food is served in your room, and was just so wonderful. It featured a number of dishes cooked in onsen water which were really interesting to try, and you could taste the difference. They really look after their guests well, and I highly recommend staying here!

Traditional Ryokan with Onsen and Amazing Food
Ryokan Adumaya is centrally located in the village of Yunomine Onsen and provides beautiful traditional Japanese accommodation and meals. While some parts of the Ryokan look as if they need some paint or repair, it is wonderful to have the onsen facilities with their beautiful outdoor pools easily accessible onsite. The provided robes, coats and futon bedding were all clean and comfortable. We were a group of five and were served our meals in a private dining room. Over the two dinners and two breakfasts we received a wondrous array of small and medium dishes including seafood, meat, vegetables, pickles, rice, eggs and fruit. It was more than we could eat, but it was all delicious and so beautifully presented. A memorable stay.

Very traditional, a unique experience
A very old-school style ryokan, definitely worth an experience, although you have to adjust your expectations a little. The rotenburo is excellent, but all in all the house is quite old. I think there is great worth to being able to spend time in such a truly traditional guesthouse, however at times the "charm of the old" did turn to "this feels a little run-down".

The indoor onsen and the private onsen both have a very old wooden tub, which looks and feels very dirty and should probably be cleaned/replaced. The outdoor onsen for male visitors on the day of our arrival (they switch daily) looked great though and had a stone tub. It is, however, separated from the indoor onsen (no way to walk from indoor to outdoor without going throught the hotel itself) and does not have a place to wash yourself, so it is very impractical to use. The private onsen doesn't have warm water to clean yourself as well. You don't have a shower or bathtub in your room either, so the washing situation overall is not very good. The food was okay, but compared to the other places we stayed during our whole trip to Japan (not only in the Kumano region) below average.

Lovely Ryokan in Yunomine
The historic and spiritual village and hot springs at Yunomine was a highlight for us and Ryokan Adumaya was an exceptional spot to literally bath in the waters. Their private onsen was sublime with both indoor and outdoor options. It is located directly across from the public baths where you can soak in a stone tub in use for 400 years. We were greeted warmly and directed to a lovely and large room that included an en suite toilet. Our Kaiseki meal that night was delicious as was the traditional breakfast the next day. We were served by Nozomi, who was simply wonderful. Ryokan Adumaya is recommended for anyone staying in Yunomine who wants a traditional Ryokan experience.

Some bits were a bit old around the edges, but for someone new to japan the Adumaya ryokan provides a great japanese ryokan experience. The bath is super after a long hike and the outdoor bath(rotenburo) was great. the food was typical ryokan fare with lots of small and tasty dishes. it was raining pretty hard when we arrived and they had some shoe drying machine to get us ready for the next day. the ryokan sits just off the trail and for us it was easy access to the trail to the shrine for day three. for those less inclined a bus leaves just outside the ryokan to uegawa trailhead at 830 in the morning

I wouldn't recommend the Shitan room, but the ryokan is nice overall
MEALS : The meals were really good and really generous, especially in the morning. Lots of different textures and tastes, we had the vegetarian option and still felt like we were eating very traditional Japanese food, which was great. It was really nice to have the meals served in our room, felt like a really authentic experience. Some dishes were really mysterious to us, but that is part of the fun! ONSENS : It wasn't clear if we could use the onsens with tattoos or not, but since a lot of Japanese people go there we didn't want to risk it. We didn't have any private onsen in our room so we went into the private bath available for guests (you can go in without reservation). It was...not great. Very very old wood, no shower, you wash yourself with a bucket in a very cramped setting. There were mosquitoes. There was a semi-open window where you could see a broom and what seemed to be a staff area, so we felt very vulnerable being naked in there. We ended up not going into the bath and just getting out after washing ourselves. ROOM : The room itself is great. It looks amazing, it's super nice to have a sink with a mirror + a toilet in the room. It's spacious. The futons are comfortable. But...we were in the shitan room, and the futons are put in the first part of the room (the one that is near the door). It was unfortunately impossible to sleep well. There are some paper ''windows'' (shoji) separating the room from a staff area, and we could hear staff and see light from the staff room until past 11pm, and then back at 5am. After 3 days of walking, we were exhausted and it wasn't nice to not be able to sleep well. If you are staying in the Shitan room, I highly recommend you bring a sleep mask and earplugs if you want to have a good night of sleep. SERVICE : Service was great, our hostess didn't speak any English at all but we didn't expect her to, English is not common in rural areas in Japan. She was really nice and we loved her :). Important : Please note that they will be 5-10 min early on everything, at least in our experience. If you said you wanted to eat dinner at 6:30, they will knock on your door at 6:20 with the meal. If you schedule breakfast at 7:30, they will bring it at 7:20, but they have to remove the futons before they can bring the meal, so they will knock on your door (and enter) at 7:10. Just be aware of it so they don't catch you still in bed like they did for us ^^; OVERALL : Overall great experience, felt very traditional and we will keep great memories of it. But if I had to stay there again, I would definitely splurge more to be on the second floor and have a private onsen in the room (especially since we have tattoos). I wouldn't recommend the Shitan room to anyone except sleepers that are not bothered at all by noise and light. I am also not a fan of staff being able to enter your room at any given time with only a brief warning, but I think that's part of the ryokan experience and we just weren't aware of it.

Nice room, but the common areas need work
While I enjoyed my stay here, as the room was clean and nice, the interior of the main building is really run down and in need of some paint and new carpet. The shower and interior baths were also a bit dingy feeling. The outdoor onsen was pretty, but WAY too hot to be able to use, even after running cold water in it. The interior one was usable, but could use some improvements. Meals however were amazing! Lots of dishes and delicious. I'd stayed one night here and one at Fujiya Ryokan in Kawayu Onsen, and much preferred it to this place.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating and spoke fairly good English. We really enjoyed our private onsen.

April 2023 Visit
This was my first time to Japan and Ryokan Adumaya & the Yunomine onsen area set the bar for the rest of our trip. Honestly, I loved everything about staying there. I thought the ryokan itself was beautiful and rich in its history. The rooms were very comfortable, and I loved being able to sit on the balcony with tea and just enjoy the view. The food was honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. So much so when we returned to Tokyo to head home, we were actually disappointed we couldn’t find anything nearly as good as what we had at Adumaya. It was the perfect location to relax after our hike on the kumano kodo & I’m eagerly planning our next trip.

The real deal
Adumaya was the most authentic, atmospheric ryokan experience we had on our trip to Kumano Kodo. This was the real deal. The baths were great and our room had a small private hot bath which was fun. The food was extra-ordinary, service was great. Some softer pillows would have been a plus.

I always try to pamper myself in every trip with a nice dinner BUT this dinner blew my mind. I really appreciated and enjoyed the attention that they put to the details and the variety of foods for dinner and breakfast. I considered my time there one of the highlights of my walk. That experience gave me a real taste of the japanese culture and its hospitality. I was more than overjoyed and glad that I experienced that.

Traditional Ryokan with Amazing Outdoor Onsen
Although the old concrete building is looking a bit tired in places, this ryokan is right in the centre of the tiny hot-springs village and has it's own onsens (both indoor and outdoor). The outdoor onsen is especially beautiful in the garden setting. The Japanese full-course meal was incredible and there was so much food that we couldn't get through it all. We had an upstairs room with an internal balcony over the street with views up and down the river. The room & ensuite were not huge (but was big enough for two) and the traditional pillow did feel like a large bag of rice, but apparently that's the way it's supposed to be! Being a larger place it was also fairly busy. Traditional robes for the onsen and sleeping in were supplied. Staying here was a slight splurge for us, but worth it to see how things are done in a long-established ryokan.

A very nice Ryokan in a great location
This is a very good Ryokan in an amazing location. As such the service is very good and the room we stayed in was spacious and very comfortable. The in-house onsen is nice, but nothing to write home. Luckily the (famous) public ones are very close. The in-room bath is on the traditional side, i.e. small and tall, so don't expect anything fancy. The food was very good.

Excellent location and fantastic vegetarian meals
This ryokan is not very easy for non-Japanese speakers to find because its name is written only in Japanese. I also overlooked my own name, written vertically and listed at the entrance as one of the guests being welcomed for the night! But its location is actually perfect, with the bus stop right outside, just across the street from the Tsuboyu (the World Heritage ancient onsen bath). Staying at this ryokan makes it very convenient to pop over to the Tsuboyu from time to time to check if it is your turn yet. The private onsen bath in the ryokan itself is great for guests who wish to try this quintessentially Japanese experience in full privacy. It is small and by no means glamorous, but the wooden tub is so adorably quaint. It was not too busy on the day I checked in so I did not have to wait to use the private onsen in the ryokan. This was also the only place for me to take a shower as my room did not have any ensuite shower (although it did have an ensuite toilet). The shared outdoor onsen is very enjoyable in a completely different way! It is amazing to be able to enjoy a hot spring bath while the sea is in full view before you. But another major highlight of my stay was the dinner! My vegetarian feast was served – I think in kaiseki style? – by a lovely attendant who spoke enough English. Breakfast the next morning was equally fabulous.

This is a larger hotel right across the street from the public onsen. The room was quite large with a nice sitting area looking out onto the street and the river. Our meals were served in our room.

Excellent service, clean room, very comfortable traditional Ryokan experience!
We wanted to splurge a little on the last day of our Kumano Kodo hike and opted to stay at Ryokan Adumaya in Yunomine Onsen. What a treat this Ryokan is! After 15 miles of hiking from Chikatsuyu all the way to Kumano Hongu Taisha, having our own private onsen on the balcony to wash up and soak away the aches was very relaxing. The meal service in our room was exceptional! Great variety of dishes and drink options paired very well with the food. The pillows were a little hard for our liking, but the staff provided us with cushier pillows upon asking. Thank you!

Ryokan Adumaya
Ryokan Adumaya was everything you would hope for in a traditional ryokan experience in Japan. Arrival, issuance of our onsen kimonos, and food was top notch. After such a long hike all the services were gratefully received. The patience of the staff communicating with an English speaker was so convenient as it was my first time in a real onsen and had no idea how the process worked. Being able to walk along the streets at night was a relaxing end to a hard day. Our staff who supported our room and provided the meal was very friendly, courteous, and great at service.

A piece of history.
This ryokan is as traditional as it gets. The establishment is a living museum, that is ~300 years old. The rooms are spacious, the food is unbelievable and the staff is very friendly. It’s a bit pricey, but a great experience. In a very cool little village, Yunomine Onsen. Not much for eateries, etc, but the quaintness is unbelievable. They also took and stored our luggage from the transport service on our last day even though we weren't staying there.

An old ryokan in Yunomine Onsen
1. Location This Ryokan is located in the center of Yunomine Onsen, and was just in front of the bus stand. Very easy to find. 2. Cleanness This ryokan is rather beaten up. The toilet room in our room was full of the smell of urine when we first got in. I think traditional and historical doesn't mean old and wore out, and a major renovation should be undergo to improve the quality of the ryokan. 3. Food Provide ordinary onsen cuisine in Japan in room. You'd better do some stretching before having your meal. The food is fine and the staff is polite. 4. Room The room is big enough for us and was well equipped. There was a balcony with the view of the onsen river. There was no hot water for washing hand, and it was freezing in the cold weather.

Wonderful Old Ryokan
I think this place is fabulous. It's obviously very old and shows wear, but the atmosphere is very traditional and the staff very welcoming. The onsen is especially nice and old-world feeling. The meals were also amazing and excellent.

Great service. Meals were delicious. Onsen was really great after a long day of walk. The buiilding is a bit old and the isolation of the room is not really great so it can be a bit cold during the night, but the heating device works well.

Ryokan Adumaya: A Lovely "Splurge" on the Kumano Kodo
After a challenging walk up and down the stone steps of the Nakahechi trail, there is no better place to rest your legs and indulge yourself than Ryokan Adumaya. The location is perfect: in front of the bus stop from Hosshinmon or Hongu and a few meters from the famous pool to boil your eggs. Our Japanese-style guestroom featured an enclosed, windowed porch and street view, a sink and typical Japanese toilet, and yukatas. But our favorite two features were the fabulous multi-course dinner served in our own dining room (because we'd requested a Western-height table and chairs) and the onsen. Every afternoon I soaked myself in the wood-lined, mineral-spring fed pool, and all the aches and pains of walking simply melted away. Service is excellent, with English-speaking staff.

We stayed 2 nights at Ryokan Adumaya and had a very nice stay. Very special room...beautifully decorated, great amenities, beautiful en-suite onsen. The meals were wonderful as well...there were 4 of us and we had our own special room and server. On our day off a gentleman from the front desk drove us to Hongu since we had missed the bus! So nice! The community onsen was fantastic, one was inside and one outside. My only complaint would be the common areas look a little tired, like they need updating.

Stepping back in time
Absolutely beautiful and charming. Huge room with a lovely view across the town. Perfect location. The meals were amazing and they beautifully catered to vegetarians. A perfect place to stay for a couple of days mid Kumano Kodo.

This is an old hotel, and it showed its age. Food is where this Ryokan shines. Experience with service was mixed, but good when it counted.

The Best Spot in Town
Yunomine Onsen is a special and almost mystical place and Ryokan Adumaya is a traditional Ryokan offering excellent service and a very roomy bedroom (a suite of three rooms) in the centre of town. It overlooks the UNESCO Heritage springs and is opposite the Bust stop for the journey ahead or arrival. Since the pilgrimage from Tsugizakura is 21 km and even the trek from Hosshinmon is 8km plus a steep climb to Yunomine so after any combination of the pilgrimage you are exhausted and ready to be treated with care. The baths are great. We had a room overlooking the spar and it was entertaining to watch the passing parade of pilgrims and guess they origins and nationalities. A wonderful meal was served in our room by a charming lass, which added to the Japanese delights. We really enjoyed this stay and felt the old world charm provided a lasting memory.

Stunning dinner and very natural baths
Dinner and breakfast at this place are not to be missed! The baths are beautiful, natural, big, with lots of options. It's a pricy place, and very private (we didn't talk to any other guests the whole time since our meals were served in room) so if you want to be more social, recommend somewhere else. But if you want a very relaxing hot spring focused experience - this is a great option!

Hot springs with character and soul
After that last 2KM hike from Hongu I was ready for a good soak in the onsen --such a brutal hike-- and Ryokan Adumaya's did not disappoint. They seem like they're a hundred years old and they're hot and it seems like the minerals permeate the walls. The outdoor pool was also lovely, but the character of the indoor onsen was the real attraction. The room they put me in overlooked the town and it was what you imagine when you think of a Japanese inn. The meals were also delicious and the service was very attentive.

Gorgeous place in Yunomine Onsen
The rooms were incredibly spacious and had that perfect sense of Japanese Zen! Beautiful gardens, stunning location on the river, and the food was yet again wonderful! The aircon never blew cold and we couldn't understand the japanese wrirting to change it, so we were a little bit hot during the night, but otherwise it was really really fantastic.

Absolutely incredible
This was a highlight of our accommodation on the Kumano Kodo (all of which was pretty great, so being a highlight is excellent praise). The service was wonderful, the inn itself was gorgeous, the onsens were really special and the food was fantastic. Can't fault it for a traditional Japanese experience.

Yunomine Onsen
A very traditional inn which you can either walk to but best to catch a bus from Hongu us station if you are walking the trail. The rooms are spotless, the Onsen is great and very traditional and the village very interesting. We had evening meal and breakfast both of which were pretty hard core traditional Japanese and we struggled a bit both with quantity and the ‘rustic’ nature of the fare. The service was great and I would stay here again.

Amazing.
Ryokan Adumaya is totally worth it. Our room was lovely and looked out onto the tiny town of Yunomine. It was clean and spacious. Our meals were served to us in our room by the friendliest woman with whom we had great interactions. The food was epic. There are multiple onsens on site (I think 6 or 8), two of which are outside. Some of them are private. We took a rest day here and definitely do not regret it!

Room felt small after all the others and expensive for what it was. Real Japanese experience with in room meal, and a great meal, but we were so tired the gaps between courses really dragged. The outdoor onsen is really special

Very welcoming, beautiful surroundings & exceptional food
My room was was a lovely traditional style room, with a beautiful private balcony looking onto Yunomine Onsen. The meals were extremely generous and exquisitely delicious - local food prepared to perfection. The outdoor bath was lovely though no shower and separate to the indoor
