Description
Heartwarming Hospitality Stay in Chikatsuyu
Kodo-no-Miyako is a renovated guesthouse run by two sisters in the village of Chikatsuyu. It is located down the hill after visiting Gyuba-doji statue, just a 300-meter stroll along the road, off the trail. The owners have rediscovered the charm of rural living and the Kumano Kodo and after working with other local travel service businesses in the area, decided to open their inn to share homespun hospitality. The guesthouse was once Chikano Elementary School, and there is an occasionally operating karaoke bar on site. Whether guests are placed in the Japanese or Western-style room, either have beds with futon bedding, and the space is spacious and comfortable. The shared lounge area features instruments sometimes played by locals. Supper is provided by an area restaurant featuring local ingredients and delivered to the accommodation in the evening. A takeaway lunch will also be provided at the guesthouse, but breakfast will be at a nearby cafe. Kodo-no-Miyako is a great place to rest and relax in the tranquility of a peaceful, mountain village.
NOTE:
● Only children 7 and older are allowed. Thank you for your understanding.
● Chickens are raised in a shed on the nearby grounds.
