2名で宿泊しましたが、部屋は十分に広く、民宿内の温泉も貸し切りの形で楽しむことができました。民宿なのでそれ相応の設備ではあります。 川湯温泉名物の河原の露天風呂までも近く、熊野本宮大社にも車ですぐですので、熊野古道を訪れる方にもおすすめです。

また利用したいです～

川湯温泉街の真中にありとてもわかり易い場所で仙人風呂も歩いて2,3分のところにありました。建物は古かったですが旅館の方が独りでフル回転して頑張っていた印象があります。困ったことを気安く相談できるので助かりました。また利用しようと思っています～

気兼ねなく過ごせる良いお宿

仙人風呂からは割と近く、夜も早朝も湯冷めしませんでした。もし冷えても、源泉かけ流しのお風呂があるのでしっかり暖め直せます。風呂トイレは男女共用ですがどちらも2つ以上有り、私は一度も時間被りませんでした。設備は古いし洒落っ気はないですが、水回りは綺麗で熊野詣での道中を過ごすには充分。 夕飯に教えてもらったお店も美味しかったし、送迎までして下さって感謝です。人にもお財布にも親切な良いお宿。

この価格で源泉掛け流しのお風呂があり、川湯温泉の川が目の前という好立地、河原でも温泉を満喫できます。 水着を持って行かなかったのですが、宿のオーナー様のご好意で、パンツとスコップを貸していただきました。 風呂上りにビールを注文したところ、半端な量が残っているからと、お刺身を出していただきました。 新宮市までのバス移動も、株主優待券を安く譲っていただき、サービス満点。 設備は古いですがオーナーさんのサービス精神が良かったです。かと言って、過剰に話しかけてくるといったこともないです。

Très bon accueil d'une hôte qui parle parfaitement français. Nous avons reçu de très bons conseils pour visiter les sites intéressants de la région. L'auberge est charmante et bien située (vue sur la rivière de la chambre). Le petit onsen à domicile et le fauteuil de massage ont été très appréciés.
