An excellent modern B&B in a glen near central Hongū, with immaculate, comfortably minimalist design, lots of English-language sightseeing info and laundry machines. Its four Japanese rooms have private facilities.
The nearest bus stop is Dainichigoe Nobori-guchi; not all Hongū-bound buses stop here, so otherwise it's a 10-minute walk to the southern end of town from Hongū Taisha-mae bus stop. There's detailed information on the website.
