It is a one story building with open-space sitting area and Japanese style room.  It has a compact full kitchen, toilet and bath. 

The views that stretch across the mountains (including the stars) can be enjoyed from a lawn-chair on the covered deck, one of the most popular activities of this cottage!

It is located along the Mine hiking route which descends from the Shiomi-toge pass. 

The owner offers pick-up and drop-off service from Takijiri-oji if reserved in advance, making it a good place to stay for the first night before walking the Kumano Kodo from Takijiri-oji.

The location is very remote and a bit hard to find because the spot in google maps is not exact. The accommodation was ok. It is well equipped but not bedsheets for the futon mattress we’re provided. The owner kindly brought up our luggage from the parking spot to the accommodation uphill.

Beautiful and serene stay at the beginning of Kumano Kodo

We enjoyed our stay at Mine-no-Yado a lot - it is very beautiful place to stay first night during the Kumano Kodo hiking trip. The house is very well maintained, new and has all the amenities for comfortable stay. The mountain panorama was astonishing. The owner of the house was very helpful - have picked us from the bus station and also drive us to the beginning of the trail next morning. Thank you!

Lovely location. Great service by staff who picked us up and dropped us in the morning. It would be good to know that there is no supermarket close by so that one makes sure they bring their own food from tanabe

Mine-No-Yado

Arrival into Tanabe was extremely easy from Kansai via the Rapid Rail. The information center for Kumano Travel was top notch. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the basic service of leaving luggage while we awaited the bus to Takijiri was very nice. It allowed us to explore the Tanabe area to visit the shops, shrines, and food. Our stay at Kumano Nakahechi Mine-no-Yado was so much fun. Being picked up by from Takijiri up to the lodging was very fun. It was also very interesting to see all the little owl statues as we weaved up the mountain. The home was so clean and comfortable. Having such a picturesque view down the valley and the river was a perfect start to our trip. We explored the hills and found the interesting bee hives and the PERFECT coal decorations. We joked with the owner that we were staying in Kamado Tanjiro's home and he confirmed he made charcoal as a business!

Beautiful well equipped house

This house is perfect for a stay of a few days. It is superbly comfortable. It is not very convenient for walking the Kumano kodo but the owner very kindly picked us up from our walk, took us shopping and to the house. The next day he returned us to the starting point and was extremely helpful.
