Description
Hongu Tea Farm Guesthouse
Chanoka Tea Aroma Inn is a small rural guesthouse with a local tea plantation in the greater Hongu area. The owner inherited it from her grandparents and created the inn to share Japanese tea culture with others from around the world. Guests can choose from 2 rooms, Japanese or western-style, for up to just 5 guests total. Meals feature home-grown vegetables and tea-related dishes unique to tea farms. Guests can even choose a plan that includes a tea aroma experience. Although located away from the center of Hongu and onsen area, the owner offers free shuttle pickup from Hongu Taisha-mae bus stop. The inn is excellent for those walking the Kumano Kodo and interested in rural Japanese life.

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.
