Very nice
Sweet accommodation near the beach (you can take a good swim there), the landlady was really nice and the shiffon cake was excellent. Only thing is the walls are literally made of paper, so can get a bit loud depending on the other guests. All in all I had a very nice stay 👍

Good place to stay before heading to the Kumano Kodo !
Very close to the beach and only 10mn walking from the train station. Nice traditional Japanese room.

Good value with lovely hosts
Ichie Guesthouse is very comfortable and clean. As expected for an inexpensive guesthouse, the facilities were basic but very adequate to my needs. The host and her staff were lovely and eager to please, and the host even gave me a lovely gift as an apology when I explained that I was unable to eat the chiffon cake (which was fine, as I had booked it well aware that there were no vegan breakfast options.)

Kind host and informative!
Great first stop on our trek. The hosts were informative and walked us through everything which was super helpful for our first stay. The breakfast was delicious and helped us kick off our journey!

Nice place
Nice place to stay the night before the Kumano Kodo. There is a shared kitchen and bath for three rooms. Ample cake is provided for breakfast.

Beautiful house
The house is beautiful and very traditional and the staff is really nice. But if you are a light sleeper and you get the room next to the kitchen you will struggle. The walls are made of paper, literally, so if someone turns on the lights in the kitchen and makes dinner at 10:30PM, you will hear everything and your room will be very bright. It basically as if I was sleeping in the kitchen. I would suggest installing curtain and creating a curfew for using the kitchen. The staff reacted very quickly when I pointed out the noise in the kitchen and asked the people to finish with their dinner.

Great place to stay in Tanabe City
This place was centrally located, had a very comfortable Japanese-style room, and served us delicious chiffon cake for breakfast. Great place to stay before heading out to the Kumano Kodo trail!
