The river across the road with geothermal heat was a wonderful surprise. Having a cool dip in the river followed by a relaxing bath in a self created rock pool at the edge was so relaxing after a days walking on the Kumano Kodo. Very quiet area compared to Yumonime Onsen village a few kms down the road.
It’s more for family vacation or friends staycation. Kitchen is well equipped, nearby is only 2 eateries, bus transportation is available but very limited . Bring some food over so u can cook dinner n breakfast for yourself
