DJANGO — Restaurant in Tanabe

Very nice little hostel, with very kind personel. The place just opened (June '19). Beds are comfortable (for Japanese standard) and showers are good. The bar is also attracts locals which gives it a nice atmosphere. Juan is Spanish and also speaks very good English and Japanese. The other two guys are Japanese and try there best to help you out, although there English is not that great, but hey, your in Japan right?

The location is perfect. Right next to the station and near a car rental. It is a great place to start your kumado kodo pilgrimage. The ocean is also nice!

Downside while we were there: the dorm is not really dark and as soon as the sun is up, you'll probably wake up. Bring an eye mask.

Tip: ask for a massage. The Japanese owner will call his buddy, who gives a proper Japanese style massage.

The queen bed was very comfortable. The room also had a small kettle and complimentary tea and coffee. In the morning it was very easy to go pick up lunch at a nearby konbini and then the bus stop/ tourist centre is right across the road at the station. Django was a great place to stay before beginning the...

Excellent spot to relax after the Kumano Kodo. The host was extremely friendly and helpful. The bed was comfy and the place had great facilities.

The bar is beautifully designed with excellent lighting and menu. I had a pint of the local IPA brewed down the road and was perfect.

Similar to any hostel, other guests can be noisy, and some guests get up quite early to start the Kumano Kodo, so if you’re in the shared dorm you may...
