Basic but convenient hut

This is quite a basic hut, but fine if you are in backpacking or camping mode. Upside is that it's close to the watarase onsen which was lovely, and a short bus drive from ukegawa trail head. Note that the check in is at the public bath next door,

This was a cabin with dining and kitchen area on one side and a sleeping area with tatami mats and futons in the other. The kitchen has all you need to make a meall but we didn’t bring any food with us. We only stayed one night but would come back and stay. There is a toilet in the room and went to the public onsen to bathe. The chicken yakatori place down the road is a must.

5人部屋のコテージでした。 車で荷物を前まで運べたのも良かった。 大人4人わんちゃん1匹で、楽しい時をすごせました。客室に紙皿紙コップなど、人数分あったのも嬉しかったです。お風呂が13時から21時半までだったのが、少し短いなーと思いました。 でも、スタッフも親切で、また行きたいと思いました。

コテージは外国のよう

今回コテージに宿泊でした リビングにいてトイレの匂いがキツくて少し残念でした 電子レンジとテレビが欲しかったです お隣と間違えたのか外国人がガチャガチャと入ってきそうになりややびっくりしました 次の日が休館だったせいか朝風呂が無くて残念でした お隣のお風呂券いただきましたが1人900円かかるので辞めました

観光拠点に便利で快適

熊野本宮に近く、観光に便利です。 スタッフの方が親切で、安心して施設を利用できました。 コテージは新しくはないものの、清潔に保たれており、寝具含め問題なしでした。 調理器具も一通り揃っており、気楽に自炊を楽しめます。(最新の炊飯器も無料で貸してもらえました) 温泉に何度も入れるのもいですね。

The profile page says that this cottage has shower. But, actually not. They only have a public hot spring where you have to shower with others without any privacy. And the cottage don’t have bed. It’s Japanese traditional style of tatami
