Located in Susami, 24 km from Kishu Museum of Art, anakashico Hostel Kumano Kodo provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. The property is around 25 km from Kamitonda Concert Hall, 25 km from Saki-no-Yu Onsen Spa and 26 km from Tanabe City Museum of Art. The property is non-smoking and is situated 24 km from Heisogen Park. The charming house is about 100 years old and in very good, renovated condition with many smart solutions here and there. Both the garden in front of the house and in the courtyard are of outstanding beauty. It is calming and relaxing to just sit there and watch. The Japanese style dormitory is not only beatiful, but also very comfortable and clean. The kitchen is well equipped and the large common room provides space to chill, read a book or work. The owner of the hostel is very welcoming and invites the guests to join activities in and around Susami. One evening, friends came along to have a BBQ in the courtyard, and I was invited to join. Some people complain about missing things like toothbrushes, shampoo, etc., but the owner provides so much more: great hospitality.

Set in Nachikatsuura and with Nachi Beach reachable within 1.5 km, WhyKumano offers a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. The property is around 1.2 km from Nachikatsuura Sports and Cultural Center, 2.7 km from Fudarakusanji Temple and 7.4 km from Taiji Municipal Stone Wall Memorial Hall. Hiromitsu Ochiai Baseball Hall is 9.2 km from the hostel and Hirou Shrine is 10 km away. Despite the confined (but comfy) space you're relegated to there was a solid sense of privacy. I think it was a full dorm (6-7 other people) during my stay but it was surprisingly quiet and everyone was respectful of each other's space. The shower and restroom are separated from the sleeping quarter so it stays surprisingly quiet throughout the night. Staff is friendly, accommodating, and fluent in English. As seen in the photos, the sleeping space for the dormitory is quiet small but I (5'7'') was able to sleep very comfortably with room to spare. For a short term stay as a solo traveler, this place can't be beat.
