 Description

Iseji Lodging

Minshuku Huuhan is a friendly, down-to-earth (sea!) guesthouse in Owase, the main city on the east coast of the Kii-Hanto Peninsula.  It is located next to the harbor so guests can experience the local lifestyle of the fishermen.  In fact, the owners have deep fisherman roots and are passionate about serving world-class seafood caught locally.  The building is reformed with modern Japanese lines (and a bit of fun!), but still preserves the older beams and architecture of the original structure.  It is an enjoyable mix of old and new-age Japanese design.  This is a good base for walkers, with easy access to the Kumano Kodo Iseji route, the Yakiyama-toge pass to the south and Magose-toge Pass to the north. 

■Closed: Sunday.
■Minshuku Huuhan can only accept reservations within 2 months in advance.
Thank you for your understanding.

Minshuku Huuhan was very welcoming and relaxed. Everything necessary was provided, while the atmosphere is very much minshuku, a mix of being in someone's home and an accommodation - in the best way. The meals were delicious and thoughtful.

Very pleased

The minshuku owners were very welcoming and helpful. The tatamiroom was very nice, simple and big. The view of the harbour was a joy. The minshuku itself was charmingly old with a nice ofuro and overall clean. And the evening meal and breakfast were really very delicious.

Incredibly friendly staff and beatiful location

We loved our stay in Minshuku Huuhan guesthouse. Generous portions of exquisite japanese food. Very cosy and friendly atmosphere. Owase was a beatiful coastal town, surrounded by mountains great for hiking. Our host drove us without extra cost to the trailhead, and gave us good explanations. We travelled with three children 8-10yrs and would recommend this for anyone interested in visiting a part of Japan outside the (foreign) tourist track.

A bit of a walk from the train station so recommend taking a taxi. The owners are very helpful and drove us to the station after our stay. Very clean and organised, with wonderful food and great views of the port from our room. It was a highlight being so close to the working port.

Enjoyable simple stay with good food

Simple clean room with view of the working harbor. Meals were very good especially all the fish dishes. A easy walk to and from rail station. We were offered a car ride to the station but enjoyed the walk.

建物自体は古そうでしたがキレイにリノベーションされていて可愛い民宿でした。予定が未定だったのですが、女将さんが色々提案してくれてありがたかったです。目の前が海なので釣りもすぐに楽しめました。小魚が入れ食いです。 電話が繋がりにくく、何度かかけ直さなければならなかった所だけが唯一難点でした。

The guesthouse is close situated to the harbour, we had a room with view on it, the work there started early in the morning, so we also waked up early.This did not disturb us. That the house is a smokers house may disturb non-smokers. The hosts were helpfull, they brought us by car to the starting-point of a day-walking-tour.
