I felt very welcome, and the owner helped me a lot for my trip.
I loved the interior of the Guesthouse.Its design is in the details. Koji gave me a lot of information about day trips on Kumano Kodo, also about the good Izakaya in Kii Tanabe.
A place that comes with my highest recommendation!
Renovated from a traditional Japanese-style home into a guest house, the CUE is set in Tanabe of Wakayama Prefecture. Kii-Tanabe Station is just a 2-minute walk away from this property.

I loved this stay and I can’t wait to go back! I opted to get the food and it was probably the best meal I had in Japan, if not ever! Everyone was friendly and helpful, the location was beautiful, the animals were so adorable. The best goat cheese I’ve had in my life.

Staff was able to provide information clearly and was fluent in English. He was also very kind to pick us up from the train station for free. He also provided suggestions for sight seeing and restaurants. Highly recommend the accommodation due to the service and facilities.

Tanabe was our starting point for our Kumano Kodo trek so we stayed in Tanabe only one day not realizing how much there is to do in Tanabe. If we ever come to Tanabe again, we will be sure to stay longer to enjoy all that there is to do there. I think we could have stayed a whole week if we weren't going on our trek.

Having visited Japan so many times, this trip was probably the best of all. I followed the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage and experienced both the people, the culture and the religion of ancient Japan. I spent in total about 4 days walking and all of the accommodations (family run b&b and a hot spring hotel) was all very clean, with tasty food and friendly people. I'd love to go back again and experience the other less famous trails of the same region.

A great little town, and ideal jumping-off point for the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage.
The pub quarter was a fun place to get a drink and dinner: great Tako Yaki.
Both the Tanabe Tourist Information Centre staff and the Kumano Kodo Travel staff were impeccably professional and helpful in making arrangements for the pilgrimage walk. Cannot rate their quality of service highly enough.
Had a great stay. The host Simon is one that you can only dream of. He’s a very sweet man that speaks English well, replies via Booking App faster than you can learn konichiwa, picks you up from the station, brings you to the start of the Kumano Kodo without even asking. The rooms are big, traditional Japanese and have everything you need. Was very clean. The plum wine of Simon’s partner from the plum trees around the house was very tasty as well!
This is one of the nicest guest houses we’ve ever stayed in! The hosts are friendly, welcoming, and very helpful with local travel tips; the views are spectacular; the food is a delicious mix of French and Japanese dishes and delicacies, prepared with fresh, local ingredients; and the setting is incredibly peaceful and relaxing. We felt so well cared for and had a wonderful holiday. I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommended.
We loved our night here. It's clean, comfortable and quiet, and Simon was a gracious and friendly host. You can even walk to Takijiri from here if you want to get a longer walk on your first day of the Kumano Kodo (if you are staying in Takahara the second night it's about a 6 hour walk from the guesthouse). Otherwise Simon offered to drive us to the Takijiri trailhead. Highly recommend this place, thank you Simon!
A lovely, comfortable, clean, and cozy place in great location when walking the kumano kodo-
The beds are comfortable, the shower has good strong and warm water pressure. The house was very well equipped with everything we needed. Surrounded by rice fields and the lovely village. The owner is a great cook, her food was delicious. She was very kind and helpful.
The hotel is really comfortable, our room had a kotatsu in it. A mexican restaurant is part of the hotel. You can relax, eat and drink there (it stays open until late). The hotel provides sandals for you to walk to the onsen on the river.
The location is great (near bus stations).
The owners are the best, super kind and welcoming.
Thank you very much!
It was my fors stay in traditional Japanese ryokan and it was good. The staff was very pleasant and kind. They managed to prepare breakfast for us in the early morning. Everything was smooth and nice. There is also public onsen right near hotel. Moreover, you can even dig your own onsen near the river
Minshuku WAGO is the place to stay in Chikatsuyu if you are hiking the Kumano Kodo. The location couldn't be better, the food is excellent, the accommodations are great, and Ike, the owner/operator is awesome and went above and beyond to make the stay enjoyable. Highly recommend
This was my last stop on the Kumano Kodo (hiked in reverse) and the experience here was truly special! The owners were incredibly kind and helpful and the food was spectacular. Definitely would come back here the next time I am in Japan.
The hosts were fantastic! I highly recommend taking them up on dinner and breakfast as well as box lunch. The host was very gracious and drove us to the hiking trail head for the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail in the morning.
- Friendly and welcoming staff
- Basic tolietries provided

The host, Hiroki san, picked us up at the Kii-Tanabe train station. We then had a great BBQ by the river. Excellent meals during our stay. Very comfortable apartment with great amenities. Amazing hosts. Highly recommended.
Very kind host, we had some nice talk with host about Japan. He cooked us really delicious okonomiyaki. It was nice diner and breakfast with other guests. We tried sake. Everything you want after long Kumano Kodo walk! 😊
Location is great. Within walking distance to Tanabe Station and major eateries. Host was most helpful in train arrangements so that I can get me and my bike onto the train.
Stayed 1 night. It's easy to find from the Kii Tanabe station. The host is a lovely lady with gorgeous smile. Would definitely stay in there again when I come to Tanabe.
The owner is incredible - so much local knowledge and Tanabe beach is beautiful. Also listen to the owner’s restaurant recommendations as the one I ate at was lovely.
