Sansuikan Kawayu Matsuya

Kind of annex of the sister hotel next door. In the annex is an onsen, washing machine and dryer (free to use), vending machines with beer and drinks and noodles. Room is basic. I had a great view on the river. Small balcony, but dirty and no chair. The annex is okay to stay if you are hiking. The best thing is the sister hotel. A great onsen with outdoor bath. Nice souvenir shop with a bit more food. Staff are super friendly and helpful. They also provide bus services (bring and pickup to Hongu Taisha, the other onsen places, the trailhead busstop) which you can use! Just call them if you want to be picked up. I did not realize Kawayu Onsen is a very small place with NO supermarket. If you did not book breakfast (served at the sister) bring your own into town or eat instant noodles. There are 2 small restaurants with delicious local food.

This hotel is okay, it was a bit dingy and the room smelt a little bit of smoke - but I was totally fine with that because you get to use the great onsen at the partner hotel next door (spent my time there), and the area was really nice. I liked it as a cheap option along the kumano kodo.

山水館松屋酒店可以共用旁邊綠屋酒店的温泉和自助餐廳，九百元不到包含2人的自助晚餐和早餐，還包含室內外温泉，我覺得性價比很高了。自助晚餐沒有刺身，其他品種還是挺豐富的，蕎麥麪和蛤蜊湯尤其好吃！綠屋的大堂有個挺大的紀念品特產商店。可以和綠屋的前台預訂第二天早上去發心門王子的班車，非常方便。前台有位會中文的小哥，態度很好的，如果不在松屋前台可以去綠屋前台找找。松屋到綠屋相距200米，步行需要5分鐘吧。
