Great guesthouse with great hospitality!

We enjoyed our stay at Guesthouse Modorizenoyado a lot, we wish we could spend another night! Our host was kind enough to pick us up from Hongu and drive us to the onsen. The guesthouse is very charming with a lot of history. We had a very comfortable stay.

The best ryokan on Kumano Kodo

The guesthouse is like home away from home! Our stay here it was an experience by itself. Beautifuly renovated, with attention to detail and its 100 years history, and all the amenities of a modern home. But we were truly impressed by our hosts, Yuichi-San and Yuko-San, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable! The barbeque dinner was delicious and the western style breakfast made for us was excellent! We just have no words to express our gratitude and emotion. People like them honors their country and make us love it and appreciate it even more. We would definitely return to stay more!

We really enjoyed our stay! Yuichi was so kind to get us from the Hongu shrine and brought us to a wonderful private onsen, going out of his way to help us have a great experience. We loved the beautiful guest house and the lovely design of the space. Our meals were exceptional and very welcome after our long day of hiking. We were so grateful to stay at Guesthouse Modorizenoyado!

Such a special day, wanted to stay longer!

Couldn’t have asked more at Modorize. Yuichi was so helpful picking us up from Hongu after a long day of hiking. The house was so thoughtfully and carefully renovated with small personal touches added like small gifts other guests had made and left. The food was incredible and even though we were very hungry there was plenty of it. The rice was particularly delicious as was the wagyu. The bentos were again very generous and Yuko made us some delicious granola as well! Such generous hearted people in a beautiful setting, what more can you wish for.

The best guesthouse on the Kumano Kodo

Arigatou gozaimasu to Yuichi and Yuko. Most beautiful, serene and peaceful guesthouse we ever stayed. We would have stayed here for 4 nights instead of changing lodging during our walk.

Kind Host, Beautiful Location and Accommodation

The host here is extremely kind and thoughtful. He picked up our group of 3 at Hongu station after we had visited the shrine. He brought our delivered bag with him so we could retrieve clean, dry clothes and dropped us directly at a public onsen. He picked us up after the baths and brought us to a private house all for us and prepared a BBQ meal for us. The next day one of our group of 3 felt ill so he offered her to stay till the afternoon, took us to the next trailhead head, then took her to a bus stop later.

Very helpful, picked us up from the end of the walk and then took us to the lovely Watarase Onsen and on departure to the bus stop. Beautiful house in a gorgeous setting. Set us up for dinner in Osaka! A lovely end to our trek - we could have stayed another night.

The Best of the Best

Host and hostess provided shuttle from the trail, to an onsen and on to their private rental, a historical and updated villa near the river, surrounded by nature, in a tiny mountain village. Meals were delicious and optional massage (for nominal fee) was wonderful. Meeting this couple was a highlight of our 2.5 week stay in Japan. They are helpful, kind, and fun. We wished we had stayed with them longer. Do so if you can. You won't want to leave.
