Description

Private Pastoral River-Valley Guest House

Noko Noko is a quiet, country private guest house in Nakahechi about 15 minutes drive north of the Takahara settlement. It is a renovated 80-year-old home tastefully designed with both Japanese and western elements. The one-floor structure is fully furnished, spacious, comfortable, with a kitchen. The owner lives in a separate attachment to the home.

Guests can feel at peace with the pastoral satoyama surroundings of the Nurumi-gawa river valley. The owner moved here from Tokyo about 20 years ago to live in the country and grow vegetables. She created Noko Noko as a place where visitors could rest as if in their own home without worrying about the world.

"Noko Noko" translates to mean "taking life easy."

While meal plans are available, the kitchen is free-use for visitors without meals.

This is a private house rental for only one group per night.

Kumano Gallery Guest House Noko Noko is the sister lodging to "Kumano Gallery Guest House Noko Noko."

■ The owner offers to drive guests to the closest supermarket. Pick-up and Drop-off is available from Takahara rest area, Takijiri-Oji, Chikatsuyu-Oji or Michi-no-Eki Kumano Kodo Nakahechi.

NOTE:
■ Visitors can enjoy an old-style "makihari" wood-heated bath after check-in.
The owner also offers a "makihari bath experience" where guests can make their own bath!

■ While the inn is located in the Nurumi-gawa satoyama river valley, the accommodation is alongside a national road that gets occasional traffic noise from passing cars. The owner asks for your understanding when making a reservation request.
