Perfect food, view, hospitality and private onsen

I stayed 1 night in Minshuku Tateishi and truly enjoyed their hospitality, politeness and the richness of the dinner, breakfast. Both dinner and breakfast was fantastic with so many dishes, including japanese barbeque and unique tastes from the area. The booklet describes the food in the menu was excellent with all the details in english. Public Onsen just at the next door and they have given it's entrance ticket as complimentary. Inside the guesthouse there is also a nice private onsen. It is a family run guesthouse so you feel like you live with the family rather than just a guesthouse. The room does have a view of Oto river. Bus stop is 50 meters away. Strongly recommend if you are planning to stay in Kawayu Onsen.

Great Guest House

We enjoyed our stay at Minshuku Tateishi, which had wonderful food and nearby access to the Senninburo (outdoor hot springs in the river). This was a one of a kind experience that can only be done in winter I believe. The baths inside the building were clean and spacious. While the rooms and hallways are a bit dated, it had little bearing on our stay. The family was very nice and wonderful.

Great place. Loved the meals and host family.

They really took a lot of care and effort in preparing the dinner. It was very enjoyable. The bath has a sizeable onsen which I was able to enjoy. Good sized room for the 3 of us.

Warm stay at Kawayu Onsen

Super lovely stay at Kawayu onsen runned by a family. Meals served with love, and plenty of variety over our 2 nights stay. On-site small private onsen to soak in, but owners also showed us across the bridge to an outdoor natural onsen.

Distance from Kumano

I think Kumano Travel should provide clear instructions of buses or walking route from Kumano Kodo trail to accommodation which is more than 1-2km from trail…it was a big surprise to have to walk another 3+km after Day 2 long hike!

Thank you for your feedback.

From Hongu to Kawayu Onsen, it is a ~10 minute ride by bus. https://www.kumano-travel.com/en/accommodations/minshuku-tateishi

Exceptional food

Tateishi was a real surprise and very cosy. with super kind hosts. Baths got no rating, because I didn't use them. They took me to the public onsen as the shower was so busy and I was close to hypothermic after walking 8 hours in the rain. It was the best thing to warm up again. But the real surprise was the exceptional food. It was so beautiful, delicate and varied. I'd go back here in a heartbeat. Loved it.
