 Description

Chikatsuyu Pilgrim Villas

Opening March 2026!

"YUME (by Happiness Chikatsuyu)"  (Yume means 'dream') is a set of private Japanese style villas in the heart of Chikatsuyu villages steps away from the Kumano Kodo Nakahechi pilgrimage route. Each cabin is self-contained with ensuite toilet and bath.  The simple, classic, clean design with Japanese mats, and wood finishing makes it easy to relax. The nearby communal dining hall serves handmade meals and serves as a gathering place for guests. 

The gracious owner is Ms. Muya, who's dream was to create a space that bridges the local community and travelers. A place where guests can enjoy private accommodations to rest their travel-weary souls and a offer a warm communal space where people can gather and connect. She want this place to be more than just accommodation, but a place where different stories intertwine, where your journey can mix and become a part of someone else's.

是非また行きたい宿

トレッキングが思ったより大変で、何とか日没までに着きましたが、宿の方がとても温かく迎えてくれ、疲れが癒されました。 できたばかりのようで、部屋も設備も布団も全てが新しく、気持ち良かったです。天井も高く、広々としていて、プライバシー感もあり、落ち着きます。ピカピカの広いお風呂も部屋に付いているので、のんびりできます。 食堂からは田んぼと遠くの山並みが見え、だんだんと暗くなるのを見ながらおいしい夕食を楽しみました。色んなお惣菜が少しずつかわいらしい器に入っていて、見た目も楽しく元気が出る感じでした。 お弁当も朝握って下さったおいしいおにぎりが入っていて、大満足でした。

Happiness Chikatsuyu Yume March 26

Brand new facilities - you can still sense the smell of paint (in a positive way). Super clean and good inventory of smaller helpful items. Owners where very nice and food was good. Highly recommended if Chikatsuyu is your stop

Happiness Dream

These beautiful villas provide a comfortable retreat after a long day's hike. The dinner served in the communal hall was the best meal I had during my entire stay in Japan. I would be glad to return to stay at Happiness Chikatsuyu Yume.

Très bon sejour

Nous avons passer une très bonne nuit, l’hébergement est spacieux et le service est très bien. Nous avons pu prendre le dîner dans le chambre ce qui est très agréable et le bento du lendemain midi était très bon.
