A wonderful base for exploring the stunning Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes, this accommodation is particularly popular with those seeking adventure and cultural immersion. The hostel offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere where guests can relax after a day of exploration.

A primary advantage is its strategic location near the Kumano Nachi Taisha Grand Shrine, one of the main destinations for pilgrims and tourists alike. Travelers also appreciate its proximity to other attractions such as the majestic Nachi Falls and Seiganto-ji Temple, making it easy to plan day trips without extensive travel.

The communal areas encourage interaction among guests, providing opportunities to meet fellow travelers from around the globe. This social setting enhances the overall experience by fostering a sense of community. Moreover, the staff are known for their friendliness and helpfulness, often providing valuable tips on local sights and dining options.

However, as with many budget accommodations, amenities might be basic compared to more upscale lodging options. This simplicity appeals to backpackers but may not satisfy everyone’s expectations if seeking luxury.

Overall, Kumano Backpackers serves as an excellent hub for exploring Nachikatsuura’s cultural landmarks while offering an inviting atmosphere to unwind.
