It was close to the main attractions and bus stop. They provided areas for hikers to hang their water proofs and dry off their hiking gear. Free snacks and tea were greatly appreciated.

Some shared toilets were missing soap

"Grumpy owner, hostel was fine"

7.0

Man who runs the place very grumpy and rude. Bring enough cash with you as they don't accept card. That said, the accomodation itself was fine and I stayed in the dorm rooms - it was fine and good value for money. I'm responding to your answer. It's not disrespectful or rude to misunderstand instructions re the door key and be responded to with 'Fuck'. Nor is it rude or disrestfcul to not know what a cash payment was required and be treated like a criminal for not having it. Your response here shows how tocuhy and prickly you are.

本宮に近く立地は抜群です。自由に過ごせて気楽です。前回利用した時よりキッチンが整理されていました。買い物や食事が不便な所なので、朝食が付いてるのは助かります。

たくさんのお菓子が置いてあるので嬉しいのですが、個室内の大きなお菓子の袋が開いていました。処分しましたがちょっとびっくりしました。洋室はカーテンがレースのみなので夜になると外から見えます。見る人はいないと思いますが、カーテンがついているともっとくつろげると思います。

"Good, serves the purpose of a one night stay during Kumano Kodo"

6.0

Good location right by the shrine, perfect for who is coming from the trekking. Bread, yoghurt and a banana is given when doing the check-in and peanut butter/jam is available in the fridge which was good after a long day walking.

A bit outdated and could improve the free toiletries (it was mostly water mixed with whatever was left in the bottles). Could improve the cleaning and the available slippers that you need to use.
