Description
Historic Tanabe Rental House
This warm, private rental house AIWASO on the panoramic grounds where once a castle stood had been a famed inn for visiting dignitaries since 1957. Now, partially renovated yet keeping its rustic Japanese nostalgic charm, this former retreat will help visiting guests feel comfortable and "at home," perfect for private family, friends or groups before they depart on their Kumano Kodo journey. The house features a modern Italian Magniflex bed, and a monitor that plays music and projects images on the fusuma sliding doors. Sunsets and sunrises are splendid from the deck. No meals are included, but guests can use the kitchen. Only one group a day. (Just 30 minutes on foot or 10 minutes by taxi from Kii-Tanabe Station.)

Type A Type B Type C Type D Type E Vegetarianism is not common in the Japanese countryside. Please double-check the Vegetarian Type which the service provider can accommodate to make sure that it meets your needs. Often being able to eat trace amounts of the ubiquitous Katsuo Dashi (fish stock) makes it easier to find options.
More Information
NOTE: It is difficult and not culturally sensitive to change meal requests, or make new meal demands, onsite when you arrive at accommodations. Vegetarian types must be confirmed during the reservation process and respected during your visit.
