Kosenkaku Yoshinoya

Great onsen, comfortable rooms, great location on Kumano Kohechi, delicious breakfast

Fantastic Japanese style breakfast. Room was spacious and had a great view. Staff made an effort to communicate in English which is always appreciated.

Outdoor onsen and bathing area could have been cleaner. There was more algae/sulfur build up than other onsen in the area comparatively speaking.

The service here is hands down the standout memory from our stay. From the minute you walk in the door to the time you depart, the staff is exceptional! The service is again highlighted during the traditional meals which were also outstanding!!! Onsen is picturesque but definetely dated.

The property is dated and is in need of some sprucing up. Beyond just upgrades, the entire property from the rooms to the traditional baths desperately need a thorough cleaning, which was disappointing. Cleaning is free and simple and should be kept up with. Our room walls and the carpet flooring leading to it were littered with various stains. The baths, especially the mens, had mould EVERYWHERE which was a big turn off for me to use them.

Great location and staff were very attentive and helpful.

Property a little dated and in need of some attention. Otherwise clean and tidy. Maybe lack of tourism in the area has something to do with maintaining a large hotel.

到着が遅れたにもかかわらす 嫌な顔一つせず終始笑顔で対応していただき とても癒されました 温泉もよかった ありがとうございます😊

The food was amazing! The room and views were great and the staff were very helpful!

The onsen was a little too hot for our group so we didn't spend too much in there.

The outside of onsen was amazing. You can hear that birds were singing while you were in the onsen. Very nice atmosphere. The breakfast was a Japanese full breakfast using local foods and some of them were cooked with onsen.

I understand that the hotel is old but it would be nice to be deep cleaned.

Kosenkaku Yoshinoya has seen better days, but it is still a pleasant place to stay. Although the building is not spotless, the service is definitely perfect, and the dinner and breakfast were some of the best we had during our trip. The room was spacious, and the view was the best you can get in Totsukawa. We stayed here as part of our hike through the Kumano Kodo route. The personnel went above-and-beyond to ensure the next leg of our trip was seamless.

The building could benefit from some minor renovations, and some of the accessories in their onsen and sento are definitely due for replacement, however, the service and attention of the personnel are excellent, and you will definitely have a good time here.
