the CUE, hotel in Tanabe

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 was lucky to have the place to myself. Location was great. Nakamura San recommended a nice restaurant nearby called Ichiyoshi. Staff isn’t on site but I was ok with that.

Private house Kumanoyasai BASE, hotel in Tanabe

Private house Kumanoyasai BASE is located in Tanabe, just a 5-minute walk from Kumanokodo Nakahechi Museum of Art and 18 miles from Kamitonda Concert Hall.

The private house was right on the Kumano. We stayed only one night but wish it was longer. Shino is the perfect host! After eating breakfast at her cafe, we went to board the bus across the street. I completely forgot my bag. Shino made sure I got it back! She had the bus company flag down the bus we were on and delivered it to me. Her homemade meals and warm accommodations will not be forgotten any time soon!!

    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.

    These two great hosts built the coziest, most beautiful and comfortable cute place which feels like home in heaven thanks to their great hospitality also. It’s super clean and everything for your comfort is well taken care of with an excellent eye for the details. Add to this the most delicious and special fresh cooked French/Japanese cuisine delicacies and you would not want to leave just like we didn’t. It’s also so conveniently located right in the middle of the Kumano Kodo trail! Definitely want to go back!:)

    Read reviews carefully. Beware. Friendly update 2 weeks later - this place is still under investigation from booking. They hid the review on google obviously, and have apparently been doing this for years - according to other local lodging facilities. I of course have the screenshot, and still have access to the review. I've been on booking and staying all around Japan for years, this has never happened to me. And again, didn't argue or anything with the guy.

    We loved this Guest House in a rural area close to Tanabe with a beautiful view of sea. The hosts Giovanni and Yakata were both very warm and welcoming. Giovanni cooked a fabulous 5 course Italian style meal for dinner and a lovely breakfast next morning. Our room was spacious and comfortable and we enjoyed the interaction with the hosts and other guests. We ordered the pickup and drop off which worked very smoothly.

    A beautiful house in gorgeous mountain range surroundings next to Kumano Kōdō trail. Above all, the the accomodations is operated by an extraordinary host - Simon-san, who made us feel welcome in his home, took care of us, provided services, help and recommendations far beyond the 5* hotels. An amazing choice for hikers, travellers, or getaway from daily rush.

    Close to the station and countless izakayas. This place has a very homely feel like we were at grandmas house. Aki san offered to pick us up from the station which was very generous. He also gave us suggestions on where to eat and where to go for our Kumano Kodo hike. English friendly.

    Location is good - a few minutes walk from Tanabe station. We arrived late and left early so didn't have much time there but it was fine, a standard small ryokan. The proprietor communicated well with us and was helpful when we arrived and then left us on our own.
