This a humble hotel in an isolated location. If you want to experience what the Japanese experience this is the place. It is older and everything works but it is definately dated. The food was excellent and we had the fixed menu dinner and breakfast for 2 days. We loved hanging about in a yukata and haori for the duration of our stay, and the easy access to the onsen overlooking the river. This is not a fancy place, but it is a genuine experience so suited us perfectly.

We liked it all, but it is not a place for someone looking for activities other than onsen, hiking and food. It is close as the crow flies to Koyasan but the tiny roads meant the drive was 45 minutes. Also, the rooms we had were futon beds in a tatami room, which is not for everyone.

This was an isolated ryokan by a river with traditional indoor onset and Japanese only meals. About 15km from Koyasan it was the closest to the expensive alternatives in Koyasan that we could find, though the very narrow mountain roads take about 40mins to cover, and are best done during daylight hours.

The heating in public areas was provided by large paraffin burners which gave of an awful smell that caught at the back of your throat.

It is an older h@djotel but the rooms are clean and spacious. All rooms have the river. Room 203 is beside a small waterfall as well. All necessary facilities including a public bath, small shop to purchase snacks and essentials and a restaurant with Japanese food. Only issue is no private shower or bath but there is private sink and toilet. Nice mountain views from observation decks in the area around Nosegawa to view the sea of clouds if you're lucky. Supposed to be good for star gazing. Staff were friendly and helpful. Easy parking Infront of the hotel.

Nothing much to see in the area and the roads leading to Nosegawa and the hotel are narrow. If you like to rest and relax, it is a nice place to get away to.

I stayed in the old bulding and had the pleasure to listen to waterfall and frog sounds from the nearby river all night. Very soothing. The place has a great retro atmosphere, clean and nice onsen and great food. On top of that, when I inquired about public buses to Koyasan from near villages, I was told by the receptionist he will take me there the next morning via car. Free of charge. What a service!

I would welcome a bigger second towel in my room.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. A personal taxi Service from the Kumano Kodo trailhead to the hotel which is 3km from the trail (Kohechi route). They will pick you up and then drop you off the next day free of charge. A very pleasant Onsen and useful laundry facilities plus a small shop inside the hotel to buy essentials. The dinner and breakfast included with the half-board package was very special and extensive. Overall a very pleasant overnight stay.

The building is a little tired looking but in this remote location it is definitely the best and most well equipped hotel. Definitely recommended for travellers passing by. Would visit again.

The staff at Hotel Nosegawa was amazing. I casually asked if there was anywhere I could get oatmeal and soy milk and the next day when I came down, they had gone all the way into Koyasan and got me oatmeal and soy milk. Wow, I was shocked, that was above and beyond and totally unexpected. Such a generous group. The public bath was clean and enjoyable. In addition, the free shuttle to Koyasan was super convenient. We really loved our stay and would highly recommend it.

Great location. You can walk around the area but driving is needed if you want to go to the mountains or nearby attractions. Highly recommended, route to hotel is lovely drive with surrounding forests. Note narrow roads & curves, it gets dark early. Lobby & room are cozy, clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Our room facing stream of crystal clear water & small waterfall.

Common walkways around rooms and to public baths are quite cold. The lift is the coldest; better to use the staircase.

Shuttle service from omata station, highly recommend the dinner and breakfast package excellent food at an excellent price! Staff was very kind and helpful. Great place to relax and rest after a hard day on the kohechi Route

Place was very clean with a river-facing room and onsen. Service provided throughout our stay, including check-in/out, meals, were superb with a personal touch. Both dinner and breakfast were traditional Japanese which was perfect and was a great experience, and quality of food was great. Excellent stay and perfect start to our holiday in Wakayama.

The location is quite difficult to get to with no amenities nearby. It was Ok for us as we used this onsen as an enroute accommodation.

This is in the middle of nowhere, and we were entirely dependent on the hotel staff, for everything. They were terrific, always doing their best to take care of us. The onsen is nice, the view from our windows was great, and the food was very good.
