Ryokan Adumaya

Amazing service from the moment we arrived to the date of our departure. Staff is very attentive. Food is amazing and presented well. Location is serene and a great change from the big cities. Rooms are perfect and just the type of Japanese village rooms and decor we were hoping for.

It is the most expensive accommodation in this onsen town. The suite with private ofuro probably can fit 6! All the necessary amenities of a ryokan is available. Food is reasonable. Not exceptional but some expensive ingredients used (e.g. wagyu shabushabu and deer sashimi). If here for onsen I would probably stay at a lesser ryokan and try out all the onsens. Especially the public onsen which has been there forever!

Really surprised by the two recent poor reviews of this place. Perhaps room type makes a difference? But, for us, this was an incredible experience in every way possible. We stayed in the room called "Ichii", a Deluxe Room with its own ensuite outdoor hot spring bath (there are large public baths here as well, indoor and out). The meals were phenomenal. The first night's meal was a full, multi-course kaiseki with the most delicious, locally-raised Mi-kumano beef shabu-shabu I have EVER eaten (melts in your mouth like butter!). Bedding was traditional, very plush and comfy, on-the-floor futons. Breakfast was also traditional and very hearty. The outdoor public bath was lovely. The service provided by the employees could not have been better. We paid ¥290,400 or about $1.916 for four people, two nights or about $240 per person per night, breakfasts and dinners included. We felt it was WELL worth the price.

rather filthy place where i stayed at during my Kumano Kodo hike. they need urgently to replace carpets and uplift the place Price/value is not at all ok at that place - it was the most expensive accommodation i had during those 5 nights but it‘s not worth it. Btw: same goes for the food. was nothing special and as you eat in your room by yourself you can‘t even ask when you have questions.

Excellent stay after Kumano Kodo hiking. Futon very comfortable. They helped in transporting lugages to room. Excellent, plenty, very tasty dinner, also breakfast. I forgot a fleece jacket, they contacted our travel agent in Athens to find me, they sent it next day to my Osaka hotel (with very reasonable courier cost). Fleece was nicely packed with a complimentary card included. Thank you for hospitality, very friendly personnel.
