Hotels near Michi-no-Eki Mushikui Iwa — Where to Stay in Kozagawa, Wakayama

No. Michi-no-Eki Mushikui Iwa is a roadside rest area, not a hotel — there are no rooms on site. What it does have is a free car park that stays open 24 hours and restrooms that never close, which is why drivers use it as a rest stop rather than a place to stay. For an actual bed, the nearest options are in Kozagawa and the towns along the same road.

This is semi-rural: expect to drive 45.8–50 km to reach a station with rooms, so book a hotel in Kozagawa or the next town along your route before dark.
