Description
Coastal Community Resort
Arafune resort is a rural, beach front accommodation between Kushimoto and Katsuura with hot spring baths. The name derives from the rugged Arafune coastline near the inn which is part of the Yoshino Kumano National Park.
The building used to be the local Town Hall and has changed ownership and usage over time. In 2010 Ms Watanabe, who used to work at a local hotel, bought the facility transforming it into a focal point to revitalize her hometown. Festivals and gatherings are held monthly for both locals and guests.
They have their own organic garden and seafood is supplied by the neighbouring fishing port.
Arafune Resort’s goal is make everyone that visits feel like family.

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.
