Hotel Analysis
Based on 1 sites · 478 reviews
A 2-star ryokan in the Kawazu Onsen area of Tanabe. Guest reviews frequently highlight the open-air baths and hot spring facilities at the sister inn.
Many reviews repeat that 'bathing in the open-air bath with river views is the best.' Breakfast buffets are tasty and good value. It's convenient for sightseeing, just 10 minutes by car to Kumano Hongu Taisha, and shuttle services are appreciated.
However, several complaints note narrow, outdated rooms with poor cleaning, dust, and mold. Soundproofing is weak with noise issues. Note that shared facilities with the sister inn end in December 2025.
Best for solo travelers seeking affordable hot springs.
