The location was magical, so close to the forest with a small shrine near by, just over the mountain from one of the major shrines on the Kumano Kodo it was a nice place to land. The onsen at the hotel is small but better than the public one.

We booked a private room in JHoppers. It was easy to check in. Their private onsens are easy to use and very relaxing. They have plenty of snacks to buy and they offer rice in the morning.
However, do not book on Expedia!! We made this mistake and the hotel contacted us to order dinner boxes. We responded but the hotel never got our message. The town only has 1 restaurant so if it’s closed you won’t be able to eat that night

Great affordable place to stay doing the Kumamoto Kodo. The onsen was wonderful after a long day hiking. The bunk beds were surprisingly big. Free rice in the evening and rice porridge in the morning was great because there are not many food options in town. We’ll stocked kitchen and comfortable common space. Recommended stay!

A place to stay on the Kumano Kodo

J-Hoppers was the most inexpensive place we stayed while hiking the Kumano Kodo. The majority of the clientele is younger and hiking the trail as well. This is great for building comradery with fellow hikers. My favorite part of the stay at J-Hoppers is the communal dining room where you can meet other hikers while fixing dinner. We had purchased a lunch from our previous accommodation and ate our lunch for dinner.

The hostel is clean. The private room was large enough and the shared sink and toilet stalls are plentiful. The hosts are very busy while other hikers are checking in and don't really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. You are more or less on your own. They do provide a brief introduction to the facility but getting additional information may be difficult.

The hostel does have a nice selection of food and beverage that they sell. The onsens are nice although they were not as clean as others along the trail. There were some floatees in the water which made us feel a little uncomfortable.

The price we paid for the room wasn't that much cheaper than other accommodations which provided much more hospitality. The place was okay but there may be better options if you are looking for a private room.

A wonderful place to rest after 10hrs hiking

The host treated me well, he told me what bus to take for the trip tomorrow, although I need to check the bus schedule later since I haven't finished the plan on that day. He gave us enough privacy. Professional it is, but it gave me a little bit solitary feeling.

We stayed in a private room, as a family of 4. Very comfortable, Onsen inside the hostel was great. Free rice at dinner and full kitchen for you to cook a family meal. Buy your own food before traveling there, fresh vegetables not available at walking distance, only packaged food.

Great area for scenery, walks and hikes. Ideal if walking the Kurama Kodo. Buses aren’t frequent. Hostel is fantastic with free rice, tea and coffee. Staff knowledgeable and friendly.
Hostel has three Onsens. They have a small shop with some essentials but no fresh fruit or vegetables. No restaurants in village so be prepared to cook for yourselves. Thank you to Kenji who drove us to Kiikatsuura.
All in all a great place.

ホストの方が大変親切で熊野古道の長距離ハイクで熱中症気味でヘロヘロになっていたところ、氷水や塩をくださり、冷水シャワーを浴びるといいとチェックイン手続き前に温泉にも入らせていただきました。外国の方が多いですが、共有スペースでみんな和気あいあいとしていました。清潔な館内で相部屋に宿泊しましたが、寝室はしっかりと区画されており快適に過ごせました。なりより24時間入れる少し硫黄臭のする本格的な温泉で疲れをいやすことが出来、最高でした。

Un accueil indigne du pays

Nous avons séjourné 3 nuits (2 nuits puis nous sommes revenus 1 nuit) au J hoppers, Yunomine étant bien placée pour visiter la magnifique Vallée du Kii. Confortable et propre, l’onsen extérieur notamment est très agréable.
Cependant nous avons été très déçus de l’accueil, lors de notre première fois (l’accueil japonais est bien mieux d’habitude !) mais encore plus lors de notre second séjour où nous avons péniblement réussi à obtenir un « merci » après notre séjour.

Very nice!

Our best experience of this guest house was private onsen! There are three different private onsen. We tried outdoor onsen that was so quiet and comfortable. The staff was so friendly and The room was clean and we could slept well. The parking space was very limited. Shops or restaurants around this area may close early or very limited, so we recommend you to purchase dinner or finish it somewhere before you check in.
