Best Hotels near Kumano Shrine, Nakatane

We spent 2 nights here at the beginning of March and absolutely loved it. We had two Japanese style rooms (one per person), with Tatami mats on the floor and Futons as a bed. We had a toilet, but a bit strangely no shower, which was not a problem, because in the indoor and outdoor baths, there are good shower facilities. The rooms are a bit small, but totally okay for one person (for two persons it would be a bit crowded). The indoor and outdoor baths are lovely and as usual, separated by gender. We had halfboard included, which was amazing. Dinner is a several courses Kaiseki dinner, and really tasty and diverse. If you dont eat meat, seafood and fish, you will not be happy however. Breakfast is a japanese bento box, and a small buffet. For lunch, you can order a bento box, which we did, and which was very tasty and the best bento box I had so far in 3 trips to Japan. Staff is very friendly, and even if they dont speak much englisch, they really go out of their way to help. The Ryokan is just opposite the small airport, where there is also a bus stop. In easy walking distance there are two supermarkets, and a very good italian restaurants (Il Mare), which make excellent pizza and pasta, using local ingredients like ****ake mushrooms and boar meat. The buses run very unfrequently, so you are better off with a rental car. Its excellent value for money, especially if you love japanese food.

The cottage forest is a cottage located in funayuki, Yakushima CHO, Kumamo County, Kagoshima Prefecture. You can stay at an early American style house. On April 7, 2022, I climbed Mt. Miyanoura on this day, and drove down from the yodogawa mountain entrance to Yakugi Landes. Running on the prefectural route 77 and buying dinner at the A coop awa store. I came to the cottage forest. The cottage is lined up and parking lots are prepared in front of each building. The room to stay this day is very melhentic. Twin room. Cut interior like a house of ”3 piglets”. The ceiling is blown out. A set of hot water heaters and tea. It is said that cooking in this building is prohibited. The washbasin and toilet are washed but not hot water toilet seats. The bathtub is spacious and happy. The air conditioner is also equipped with TV. There is also a veranda and a hammock. I quickly cleaned it in the bath and beer time. Sashimi I bought at A Coop awa store. The next morning, breakfast was milk and sandwiches I bought at A Coop awa store. The construction started in the morning and I was shaking so much that I thought ”earthquake?” (sweat;) after the meal, I relaxed with a hammock. The owner was worried about the construction and replaced the room. The appearance of the room the day before is like this. 2 nights from this day became this room. This room has a hammock next to the entrance. Table and sofa. It seems to be the best building in this cottage. There is a shelf on the bedside and there is an outlet, so I keep it for charging. Mini kitchen and dining table. 2 microwave oven, toaster in the door refrigerator. It is attached to the hot water pot to the circular. I am especially happy that the toilet becomes a hot water toilet seat. On the other hand, the bathtub became small and the building of the bathroom door became bad. It is also a pity that the washbasin became a unit bus. I have been sightseeing Chihiro no Taki on this day. I came back to the cottage forest early and coffee time on the terrace. I bought a frozen pizza at a coop because I had a mini kitchen. And the mysterious combination of natto and salad (laughs) The next day, April 9, 2022, breakfast on this day was roll bread, raw ham and fruit. I heard the sound of leaving for the mountain climbing after 4 o'clock. If you ask in advance, you will prepare a lunch box and put it in this box next to you.On this day, I walked through Shiratani Unsui Kyo and drove around Yakushima. I came back to the cottage forest and bought a sashimi of tobio in A coop. I ate tobio's fried fried fish in the tide, so sashimi is the first time. Dinner is dumplings. Tenpu and so on. On April 10, 2022, the last day in Yakushima, the cottage forest for three consecutive nights is finally checked out. Breakfast on this day is milk, roll bread, raw ham and fruit. It became a three consecutive night of great satisfaction. Check out and drove ahead. cottage forest Kokage Yakushima CHO, kumahae County, Kagoshima Prefecture ２９２−９ 0997-46-2789

The owner was very, very friendly. After eating at the Xizhi table on the night of the check-in, he drove back to the hotel under heavy rain and used it. It took more than twice to return. It was more than 11 o'clock when we arrived. The owner had fallen asleep. We rang the bell to wake her up to take the key. I was really very, very sorry, but the owner did not lose his temper and clearly told us what we should pay attention to. It was really professional and I appreciated it very much. The opportunity to go to Seed Island is a very worthwhile accommodation to consider.
