At the upper end of the village of Yunomine, this seven-room minshuku is exactly what a minshuku should be: simple, clean and welcoming. Only one room has an en-suite toilet; the shared baths, both indoor and outdoor, are fed by hot springs. Meals include local ingredients cooked in onsen water. Reserve through Kumano Travel.
There's no surcharge for single travellers, but the inn does not usually accept single bookings on Saturday or national holidays.
