The owner of Minshuku Sumiya is very nice and helpful, he was very welcoming. Food was amazing. Rooms and bathrooms need rennovation.

not recommendable!
The accommodation cannot be recommended. There were three cans of insect spray in every room, and even the (very kind) host warned us about insects. The food was good. However, the washing facilities in the hallway and the toilets were completely inadequate and not clean (dirt, humidity). Due to the poor conditions, we left earlier than planned. You should not offer this accommodation under these circumstances! It is completely overpriced considering the services provided.

Amazing place to stay
After a long and weary day, we were made to feel very welcome by Aki and her husband. We stayed in their beautiful house and had amazing food (supper and breakfast) prepared with care and explanation. They were very helpful with Kumano information and local history. I would stay here again for sure!

Very nice location
We enjoyed our visit to Kawayu Onsen. Minshuku Sumiya was very conveniently located, and we could easily borrow swimming suits and a shovel to dig a hole in the river and enjoy the natural onsens. There was also two small bathrooms and onsens onsite. Sumiya also had washing/drying onsite which was very helpful. We pre-ordered the dinner and breakfast, and both were very delicious. Our host was also very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Comfortable minshuku in Kawayu Onsen
The owner is very very nice! The meals are very delicious. The only drawback is that the sound insulation of the room is not very good.

Wonderful stay with super cute host!
We reached kawayu late after a long day of hike from Chikatsuyu to Hongu Taisha. Nonetheless, the host prepared a very - because I was starving! - delicious dinner for us with the centrepiece being the duck nabe. And there's tempura, sashimi and baked fish caught from the river. We had warabimochi as dessert. The host took a photo of us, and we did not expect him to print it out and give it to us during breakfast the next day. Super cute! Room was cosy and next to the reception. Again, the futon was so comfortable, I concussed and woke up disoriented. Bath was luxurious even though the photos don't do justice. The hot water felt so goood~ Bus stop was right beneath the minshuku. They have a massage chair in the lobby. Lunch bento was a delicious box of surprise featuring a bit of everything native, including a humongous mushroom.

Great place to stay
We loved the location so close to the river, all the meals were outstanding! Our Bento box lunch was the best from the whole trip.
