Best Tanabe Hotels

"The hotel is about 8 minutes walk from the train station, where you'll pass by a number of cafes and restaurants. The room is well equipped and reasonably spacious by Japanese standard. Breakfast is pretty bare but it is included in the package."

"We booked this traditional Japanese hotel the night before because we were heading to the Kumano Kodo Trail early the next morning. It was a bit beyond our expectations. The ocean is right behind the hotel! 🌊 Before boarding our flight in Shanghai, I sent an email asking about the hotel shuttle service. I saw the reply email upon landing in Osaka, and everything was perfect! The next day, after checking out, while waiting for the shuttle, the waiter brought us rice balls, saying they'd help us with our hike. It was so touching, even though it was just rice balls. The hotel also offers free ramen in the evening. The portions for a one-night stay and two meals are small, but they look exquisite. Highly recommended."

"The hotel is very nice and still feels brand new, with a great location close to Kii-Tanabe Station. The staff were friendly, the check-in process was fast, and the room was very clean and comfortable. The laundry facilities, ice machine, and vending machines were all excellent. We also appreciated the free breakfast and complimentary coffee/tea in the afternoon. This hotel is highly recommended and perfect as a starting point for the Kumano Kodo journey. One suggestion would be to offer breakfast earlier or provide breakfast boxes for hikers starting early in the morning. Highly recommended, and we would definitely stay here again."

"The location is still very good, the room is too small... The space planning is very compact and there is everything that should be there. The price is really cheap, so the overall price is very high, it is a good choice for us to stay for one night. The scenery of Kumano Ancient Road is really good"

"This hotel served as a perfect stopover while hiking the Kumano Kodo. It's less than a 10-minute taxi ride from Kumano Hongu Taisha. This was my second stay, and when I asked, the hotel mentioned a renovation in November 2025, but it sounds like it will only be a partial refurbishment! The hot springs are very comfortable, with both indoor and outdoor baths. The outdoor bath is mixed-gender, and they provide special robes you can wear out there. I booked the half-board option (dinner and breakfast), but the food was quite ordinary with limited choices. However, since there are no convenience stores nearby, eating at the hotel was the only option. The hot spring river, just a 5-minute walk away, now has a public hot spring pool. Many people were enjoying it early in the morning, and kids were also digging their own small pools in the river. Waking up to the steam rising from the river was just wonderful."

"Convenient transportation, 5 minutes from JR station and Kumanokoko bus station. Check-in and check-out are convenient, and the small lack of internal organs is complete. The sound insulation is really poor, and the boy next door has been squeaking in the middle of the night. But it feels like they didn't speak out deliberately either. In addition to poor sound insulation, everything else is perfect. I could have sold 500 a night, Sound insulation problems allowed him to sell 300 nights."

"Not bad, although it is a bit old. About15-20 minutes walk from the station But the facilities are very complete, there are slippers, bathrobes, toothbrushes (but very hard to brush my teeth, bleeding) tissues, etc. Breakfast is also included, but there are several options Choose the most expensive to add money Breakfast starts at 7 o'clock. The time I went to the front desk was the uncle. I don't know English, but communication is ok. And give our room just to see the fireworks conference at night"

"It was out of our expectation. It is a standalone apartment that has everything you need. It is better to register all the guest’s information online via the email. That will make your check-in more convenient. We were impressed with the backyard. We planned to have dinner there. Unfortunately, it was cold and raining. We definitely wanna stay there again. It’s at a very great location, close to the shopping center, and the bus stop of Kumano hiking, just in a few mins walk. Even you don’t do hiking, it is also good for a bunch of friends for a retreat."

"The rooms have individual air conditioners, which is great because you can adjust the room temperature to your liking. Also, all the necessary amenities were provided, and I didn't experience any inconvenience. After 9 PM, the hotel staff are not present, and you need to enter and exit through a special entrance with a PIN code, but this wasn't a problem."
