Description
Second Home Atmosphere
Minshuku Momofuku is run by Mr. Nakazawa, a friendly retiree. This tiny guesthouse has only two rooms and is located in the isolated village of Koguchi in the mountains between Nachi and Hongu. It is popular with pilgrims and hikers on the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route, as well as ayu (sweetfish) fishermen. Koguchi is located between the Ogumotori-goe (100 m to trailhead) and Kogumotori-goe (1 km to trailhead) routes. Local produce from the surrounding mountains and rivers is served at meals. Mr. Nakazawa hopes guests make themselves comfortable and feel like Minshuku Momofuku is their second home.

Amazing!!
This little gem soothed our sore bodies and warmed our hearts. The rooms were private, warm, comfortable and the hosts were absolutely delightful… oh and the food… these people understand hikers appetites. We were very well fed. For those completing the full walk (last leg) stay here you’ll thank yourself.

Is located a few minutes walk from the trailhead. Lovely house. Possible Hide will be closing this guesthouse for a bit while he takes some time for himself to get well. But he was a fantastic host. I am not sure how he keeps such clean house, and cooks such excellent food all by himself - such energy. And the warm sake was delicious.

Very comfortable stay with incredible food!
Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and friendly, the minshuku is really well-located, clean and spacious. The pyjamas were a really nice touch and so comfortable to wear after a day's hiking. We especially loved the food, it was delicious and prepared with care. Thank you so much for having us and encouraging us to take on the last day's hike to Nachi in the pouring rain!

Great stay in Koguchi
Koguchi is well-known to be a town with little accommodation options and we were glad to be able to book Minshuku Momofuku which is located directly in town couple of minutes walk from the grocery store. After a long hike from Nachi-san to Koguchi, we were just happy to check in to rest our feet. Host Hide-san was very welcoming to his very cosy home, and we were the only guests there. Room was traditional Japanese style but spacious and comfortable, toilet and baths clean. Meals provided were delicious and adequate, we were full.

Great hosts, good food, lots of energy
Very happy hosts who offered to wash our clothes, which was needed, and we were able to hang dry them in the room. They had great energy and good food; the room was large, with a sitting area. It was a very close walk to the next days trailhead which was convenient.

Highly recommend to stay in this lovely little village, with a perfect swimming river to freshen up after a long days walk. If you book early enough, you will be lucky enough to stay at this wonderful home stay. We had such a fantastic time thanks to our host. Amazing location, room, host and food! We were even shown how to eat the locally caught crab after we were curious about them... Couldn't recommend more highly! Food was divine!

Great Owner, Value Not So Great
The owner is friendly and welcoming and runs one of the few guesthouses in this small village. For the price I paid, I was expecting a more modern and comfortable stay, but there is little incentive for any upgrades given the lack of competition. I did appreciate the free laundry service.

Lovely last night on the trail
We enjoyed a quiet and comfortable stay at Minshuku Momofuku in March 2025. The guesthouse has a gorgeous garden, a traditional design and feel, and is very spacious. Hide, the owner/host is an incredibly kind and active older man who provided an incredibly warm welcome and send off. Hide is an amazing cook (ex-chef?) who prepared a restaurant-quality meal for us. His beautiful photography decorates the walls in the dining room and his passion for nature and beauty is infectious. The location of this guesthouse is fantastic, right near the trailhead, river, coffee shop and a small store.

Minshuku Momofuku was the highlight of our visit to the Kumano-kodo
Staying with Hide-san at Minshuku Momofuku was a delightful experience. This accommodation gave me a very warm and nostalgic feeling because it reminded me strongly of an old home I used to live in many years ago with the traditional/original tatami, shoji, fusuma, tokonoma, ranma and washing/bathing facilities. The food was lovely home-style cooking and the township of Koguchi was beautifully nestled in a valley deep in the mountains. We set off on the Ogumo-torigoe section of the Nakahechi route the following morning.

A wonderful stay
The homestay is located nearby the Koguchi stamp point with a beautiful yards. The owner is a kindly grandfather who has been receiving tourists from Kumano Kodo in this house since his mother， over 40 years. He was a Kumano Kodo Guide and loves traveling. There are many interesting photos of him on the wall. there are 2 rooms in the house. My roommate that day is a friendly and interesting French-Japanese lady, who is a writer. I used google translate to listen the chatting between she and the grandfather about the history of the Kumano Kodo, which was a very interesting experience. The meal is great.

No hay muchas opciones en la zona, por lo que el lugar resulta totalmente aceptable. La habitación que nos tocó era amplia y correcta. Sin embargo, comparando con otras GuestHouse que nos alojamos en Kumano, ésta queda por debajo. Nos dieron una remera y un short como pijama. El baño estaba bien pero algo anticuado. El anfitrión nos ofreció devolvernos la plata del almuerzo del día próximo. Le dijimos que no, que preferíamos la comida, y nos preparó unos bollos de arroz envueltos con un alga. Nunca nos terminamos de sentir 100% cómodos en éste lugar. Muy positivo que nos dejó entrar antes del horario pactado (era a las 15 horas e ingresamos alrededor de las 13:30). No obstante ello, cuando le dijimos que nuestro transporte era a las 10:30 horas, nos dijo que el check out era a las 9:00. Si bien es correcto y para eso son los horarios, nos hubiera gustado como gentileza que al menos nos permita quedarnos en las zonas comunes a esperar, y no en la calle con sol fuerte y 40 grados de temperatura. Le pedimos lavar la ropa, lo hizo, pero nos devolvió la ropa mojada para colgar en una soga. Quizás si nos avisaba que no tenía secador, no lavábamos. Pequeñas cosas, que a mi modo de ver, distinguen los servicios.

Thank you very much Hide-San, I wish we could have stayed longer at your beautiful home!

Great stay in Koguchi
We had a wonderful stay with Hidi at Minshuku Momofuku which is right on the Kumano Kodo trail. We received a warm welcome and enjoyed some time relaxing in our own space. Hidi, who was a cook before retiring, served us a wonderful traditional meal and we enjoyed hearing stories about his life before he retired to Koguchi. He was also happy to wash our clothes, ready for the next day. We had a great breakfast and headed off with our bento boxes for the hardest section of the walk. Fantastic place to stay at Koguchi!

Experienced Host
We had to change our hiking plans due to the rain and use the local bus to get to Koguchi. The bus driver was kind enough to drop us off closer to accommodation where we found our host waiting for us (which is why I gave location of 5. Not sure how easy it is to find if we came off the trail). Our host must come out whenever the bus is scheduled to arrive to check on his guest. From the moment we arrived he was preparing dinner. You can tell he takes pride in his meal preparation. The food was very tasty! This was the only accommodation that we shared with two other hikers. We shared a common bath and toilet. This was not an issue, but the toilet was at the far end of the house and we were the first guest room. Due to the bad weather, our host advised us not to go on the trail the next day. He refunded our bento cost and advised us to visit Kumano Hayatama and eat in Shingu. Experienced host looking our for his guests!

Very welcoming, but not our favorite stay
The location is great here, but we had a hard time sleeping. There are bright safety lights in the hallway that shine directly into the sleeping area. The bedding was also suspect. I highly recommend bringing a sleeping bag liner or similar if you're staying here. Aside from the sleeping part, we had a great stay due to the tasty food and welcoming host. I wish I had only positive things to say.

Comfortable stay
The host Hidi is very experienced and has travelled Kumano Kodo often. He also likes fishing and Australia. We had very good food and were also the only guests staying here. Our room was spacious but it was not so clean. We found a lot of hair from previous guests on the floor. The bathroom was clean though all amenities are a bit old already. Hidi leaves you alone most of the time, I think he is more interested in the guest house business than in hearing stories from his guests. But still very friendly.

Charming minshuku
We loved our stay at Minshuku Momofuku. Hide is an excellent host and cook. He seems to enjoy his guests but is not overly chatty or intrusive. The dinner was not fancy but without a doubt was some of the best tasting food we had on the trek. We enjoyed a bedroom and a side sitting room (although the additional room might have been available because we were the only guests in the house that night). The minshuku is located on a side road just beyond the bus stop, and also very close to the trailhead, the river and a small store where you can pick up snacks for the road.

The BEST place to stay on the Kumano Kodo
My sister and I feel so fortunate to have stayed at Minshuku Momofuku - it really is the best place to stay when walking the Kumano Kodo. The meals prepared by Mr. Nakazawa are AMAZING! Dinner at Minshuku Momofuku was one of the best meals we ate in Japan. Mr. Nakazawa was such a nice host - we arrived at exactly check in and wanted to leave at sunrise, and he got up early to make us breakfast and always had a smile on his face! The rooms are comfortable, clean and warm - it was the perfect stay. Would 100% recommend Minshuku Momofuku and come back again!

We enjoyed our stay with HeDai (spelling wrong). He was funny and an excellent cook and host. We were so lucky to get a chance to stay with him while all the other hikers were at the camp or a repurposed lodging. They were all so jealous of us and our description of our stay. We wish good things for our host and appreciate all he did for us. Darren

Amazing place!
I am a solo travel and must say Momofuku is a great place to stay. I booked Momofuku about 15 days before my trip. And since it is off season, booking Momofuku is not hard. I stayed here for one night and really helping me recover from the physical fatigue. I hiked for 17 km before I arrive, and the dinner was so great that I ate all of them. So does the breakfast and lunch, really help me complete the Ogumotori-goe. I recommend Minshuku Momofuku to everyone.

Amazing place to stay
We had a wonderful stay at Minshuku Momofuku. It was easy to find and in a great location. The Onsen was amazing (especially after a hike) and the food was fantastic. The dinner was three courses so make sure you don't snack before hand. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to the lady who looked after us, served up dinner and made up the beds. She is amazing (so sorry I can't remember her name). Check in and check out were quick and easy.

Cozy bed room and delicious meal for both supper and breakfast including lunch box
I stayed at Monofuku on Dec 15th with my daughter to enjoy the final hiking trail named as Okumotorigoe the following morning. When I got to Momofuku at around 5 PM on Dec 15th, the owner of the Minshuku welcomed us like his son and niece, which gave me a good impression about this place right on the spot. His cooking skill was out of this world and my daughter kept saying that the meal was so nice that there was no way to forget this place. So all our family member including my wife and son , of cource my daughter included , would like to visit this place again around in the middle of winter of 2024. I look forword to greeting the owner of this place and the meal that makes my mouth watering. Thanks.

Minshuku Momofuku- our favorite stay!
This was the most authentic Japanese stay we had on the trail. Nakazawa-san shares the rooms in his expanded house with pilgrim/trail guests. By the way, this is the house he grew up in, so he knows the area like the back of his hand. We arrived several hours early, but Nakazawa-san make us feel welcome, comfortable, and at home with hot tea and a snack. The house is older, but immaculate and very comfortable. He doubles the futons so they are very comfortable. We later learned that Nakawawa-san was a chef in Osaka, before he moved back to Momofuku. Trust me when I say that the dinner he prepared for us was unparalleled with fresh ingredients that he personally sources. Kogughi is a small village/town, so everything is close. The local store was a 2 minute walk. The house is essentially on the Kumano Kodo trail so its super convenient. Last, Nakazawa-san has an infectious hearty laugh- he is a dear human being- very generous and kind. We felt privileged to share his house for the night on our trip. If you stay at Minshuku Momofuku you are in for a treat!

Best place ever
We throughly enjoyed our stay at this place. The place was clean, cozy, and comfortable; the host was very friendly and kind. The dinner was superb!!! The host worked as a professional chef and the meal was more memorable than what we had at our wedding. The host even came out to look for us when we didn’t arrive there on time since we took a bit longer to finish our hike. What a kind gentleman. 10/10 recommended!!

Wonderful guest house. Hide was a fabulous host and cook. And great to be able to swim in the nearby river given the heat of summer. the only reason I rated the meals down was that the lunch bento box provided by the Lodge was meat-based when we'd requested no meat in our meals.

Favorite Place.
This was our favorite spot on the trail. It is set in the beautiful village of Koguchu. The owner was warm cordial and funny, not to mention a phenomenal cook. We loved the short amount of time we got to spend with him and our meals there were the best on the trail. Not to be missed.

Excellent place to stay after a long hike
The highlight no question was the food! The dinner was outstanding…some of the best sashimi we've ever had. The breakfast was equally good. The lunch box was a great added bonus. The area is so peaceful, and swimming in the nearby river was a great refresh on a hot day. Our host (the owner) was so friendly, that when it started to rain, he offered for me to take his rain pants! I declined but the offer shows how much he cares. The one thing I would change….We would rather have proper bed sheets on the pillows and mattress rather than the blue covers provided.

Best place to stay !
Minshuku Momofuku really is the best place to stay when you are in the Koguchi area (eg. when you hike the Kumano Kodo). Mr. Nawazaki has made it a warm place where you will always feel welcome and his meals are the best meals we have had so far while in Japan (9 days now). I know for sure you will enjoy your stay while you're there.

Hide is such a nice person, he made me feel at home from the very beginning and went out of his way to help me with everything I needed, e.g. washing my clothes. And he is a great cook too, the food was so delicious. My room was beautiful and incredibly spacious. The facilities in general are great, I enjoyed my stay very much, thank you Hide san.

This is the best accomodation we had in Japan. The house is wonderful, the room is huge, the hosts are so nice, the food is so tasty and in big quantities. No doubts: if you pass thorough koguchi stop there. Forget other possible accomodations. This is a must. The right stop before to challenge the last section of kumano Kodo (really hard)

This is a wonderful place to stay if ever you have wonder what it would be like to have a traditional Japanese country home.

We loved the location of Minshuku Momofuku, so close to the trailhead for the epic Koguchi to Nachi hike. The accomodation is immaculate and incredibly comfortable... not to mention, spacious! It was the perfect place to recharge and replenish (the dinner was HUGE) and we slept so very well. Our hosts were kind and attentive, but unobtrusive. A great experience.

Very roomy and very friendly
I was the only guest here, and I'm not sure if there is only one room. I had access to two rooms – a sitting room and the bedroom. It was a little more basic in some ways, with a good shower on offer but no bath. (It may be that I wasn't clear enough in asking if the (empty) bath could be filled for my use.) Otherwise the food was good and tasty. No beer or wine was offered, but that probably wasn't a bad thing given the significant climb that lay ahead of me the next day!

This is the best place we have enjoyed during our trip. The hosts are awfully nice, the place is very quiet and on spot wrt the Kumano trail but also a nice swimming spot in the river, the food is beyond words, and the rooms are comfortable and large. Plus there is only room for one couple. We had a long exchange with the hosts, despite our impossibility to communicate in Japanese, and they drove us to Kawase at the start of the last leg of our hike the next morning. Terrific memories!

When we arrived early, we were allowed to drop off our bags and take towels to go swim in the river. That was very nice and exactly what we were craving after a long day of hiking. The meals were good, but paled in comparison to some of the gourmet experiences we had at other guesthouses on the trip. The house itself is a little run down, but still more than adequate for our needs. A nice stay overall.

This Minshuku is amazing! The hosts provide a nice, clean, comfortable room with a side tea room. They are very welcoming to guests and help with bus information.

One of the best experience of our 3-weeks trip
The rooms are large with painted sliding doors. They are clean and really pretty. The bath is a regular bath but clean and sufficient. The meals were the best we had on our whole sty in Japan. It was a fantastic variety of sashimi, pickled and fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, tempura, ... The break was fantastic as well. The meal sizes are very large. You will be well fed even after the longest hike. Koguchi is a small village in the midst of the mountains. There is one little convenience store run by a very friendly lady and the clear river invites to a bath. The host was very friendly and kind.

A lovely welcome, the room was large, laundry will be done for free but with respect to the family's schedule. Food was good, nice, quiet place but not much to see or do in the surrounds.

The stay at Minshuku Momofuku really felt like being in someone's home, as it didn't seem like it was custom-built as a guesthouse. It is still very cosy and comfortable - the guestroom had the separate living area with a low table. Meals had that hearty homecooked style, and was in large quantities. The bath is meant to be used by one person at a time, but still had a tub you can soak in. Great location for hiking the Kumano, as the trailhead is just nearby.

Genuine hospitality, a wonderful family homestay experience
Staying at Momofuku transports you back to a world where people are friendly and welcoming and go out of their way to make it a special experience. The location and facilities were great. Standouts were the super comfortable beds, and the magnificent home-cooked Japanese food, which was far and away the best I experienced on the entire Komano Kodo trail. Thanks for having me, it was wonderful.

Momofuku
As I was the only guest, I may have been occupying two rooms but it felt like a suite and traditional too: carved wood panels and real shoji. I have a score of 4 for several items, which is relative to Kiri no Sato and MUI: I mean, I loved Momofuku but Kiri was impeccably professional and MUI was that much more attentive and earnest. Please take note also: in terms of your point system, I gave Sanso slightly more points than Momofuku but I preferred Momfuku because it was like a homestay and Sanso was like a hotel.

Hide-san was out waiting for us when we reached Koguchi. It was during the typhoon and it felt heart-warming to know that the host was out in the rain waiting for our arrival. His wife graciously helped us with our wet overalls. The food was excellent. Hide-san even helped us dry our shoes! Couldn't ask for a better host than him. The futon was really comfortable as well.

House was a km from Koguchi and was difficult to locate. There was 1 signage on arrival at Koguchi after coming off the Kumano Kodo track and nothing after that. Host very welcoming and we had 1 side of the house to ourselves. Hosts very kind, did our washing for us. Food was amazing, both dinner and breakfast and packed lunch.

Convenient location
Mr. Nakazawa met us on the road just after we entered Koguchi and graciously welcomed us to his guesthouse, where we enjoyed a very full dinner complete with home-made wine. Breakfast the next morning was huge. There was no onsen/ hot tub, and the shower was satisfactory. The garden and bonsai tree collection are well worth taking some time to admire. Momofuku's location is perfect, near the end of the first part of the Ukegawa to Nachisan walk and within a couple of minutes of the second leg.

We really felt very loved by our hosts! They prepared a feast for us, various meat, plum wine, fruits and dessert. Lunch bento was really sumptuous and nicely packed with sushi, fried chicken and even a sweet to complete the lunch.

The room, with separate tea room was spacious. I enjoyed the food. In the morning, the proprietor very kindly drove me back to the river crossing so that I could get a missed stamp in my Camino booklet. On the negative: the bath was small and luke warm. Also there was very bright light in the hall outside the room which, shining through the paper screens, made sleeping difficult. I could not find the switch to turn off the light. This is something that could easily be remedied.

If I were able give the food - breakfast, dinner and bento box lunch - ten stars, I would. Simply the best meals I had in Japan. And the guestbook at the property is full of comments of people who say the same thing. I was the only guest at the property the night I stayed, so it was peaceful and quiet with plenty of room. The futon in the tatami room was very comfy, and the room was heated (freezing outside). The hosts were the best combination of friendly and curious and leaving you to yourself. My only (small issue) was that there was a very bright fluorescent light on outside the tatami room which was unable to be switched off, and which the paper screen walls did nothing to shade. I'm a light sleeper who needs a room to be very dark to get to sleep, and I had some troubles. I eventually managed to hang a blanket up to get some dark.

One of two places to stay at Minshuku. I swung by the other place to grab beer with fellow travelers, but it looked more like a motel. Momofuku had more of a local vibe, which I loved.

Perfect as a Bonsai
This minshuku is perfect as a bonsai! Of the minshuku I stayed at on the Kumano Kodo, this one had the most aesthetic sensibility. For example, there were a number of beautiful bonsai in the garden, lovingly tended by the host for many years. There are also river stones and driftwood with interesting shapes, colors, patterns to stimulate a sense of spirituality toward the earth. The host couple were gracious and communicative. The meals were generous and delicious. Thank you.

A Genuine Japanese Homestay
Koguchi is a very picturesque but also small town, and we feel very lucky to have been able to reserve a room at Minshuku Momofuku. Although we didn’t have much interaction with the hosts (who disappeared to lay out our futons after serving dinner for us), they were very friendly and prepared a wonderful dinner, breakfast and packed lunch for us. The walk from Hongu (Ukegawa) to Koguchi was one of the shorter legs of our trip, so it was nice that this accommodation offered the slightly earlier than most check-in time from 14:00. We found a lovely swimming hole in a stream close by the house, which was perfect for a dip to cool down after a hot day of walking.

Exceptional hospitality, beautiful location
The Nakazawas are really lovely people and exceptional hosts. Though I inadvertently arrived earlier than expected, I was welcomed with tea and the offer of a warm bath. What really sets this couple apart, however, is their incredible attention to detail and genuine interest in meeting people. The meals were exquisite: all of the foods made from scratch, lovingly conceived, beautifully presented and in ample portions. Even the bento box was gift-wrapped! But it was the time we spent talking?and often laughing through the language barrier?that left me feeling so warmly about my stay. Rarely have I met hosts so giving of their time and energy and knowledge and so gracious in person.

The accommodation is like family-stay. The owners are relly polite and friendly: after a long walk you can feel like at your own home. The room was nice and spacious. The bath has only shower (this is the only flaw). But the dinner was unforgettable: i think one of the best meal i ever had in Japan. Tasty, fresh, delicious and real home-made style. I took a picture of the dinner to save it in my memory.

There isn't a lot of accommodation at Koguchi which makes Minshuku Momofuku even more special after a big day from Ukegawa or Naichi Taishi. The welcome is big and warm, the tub (it's small but it's hot and restorative), the meals are generous which adds up to one of those places you don't forget easily. I've stayed twice now and look forward to another visit soon :-)

Momofuku the saviour
We arrived on the day of the typhoon, drenched, and Momofuku-san washed and dried our clothes. The town of Koguchi was cut off by floodwaters that night, and the next day he drove us (and another guest) on his truck through the mountain road, battling fallen rocks and trees. We cannot thank him enough for his hospitality.

The guy who owns this place is just kind of an usual character who lives with his mom, but very friendly and nice with us. It was like a time warp inside the home of this guy.

Comfort Plus!
This was my favourite place to stay on the kumano kodo. The minshuku was right on the trail and the hosts were nothing short of fabulous. The husband could speak great English and his blue haired wife cooked to best dinner and breakfast I had on the trail. The room was large and spacious and as a tall person, this was the first time I stayed in a Japanese style room where the futon was long enough. They also provided a western pillow which added to the comfort. The bathroom was small, but this hardly mattered when everything else was so fabulous.

Nice minshuku, friendly owners and great food
The minshuku is simple and located near the bridge in Koguchi. The owners are a very friendly old couple, and the husband speaks good English. I had a very nice and large room, japanese style, and had a good sleep before another day of hike. There is a simple bathtub in the bathroom, which is pleasant to relax in the evening. I also had there one of my best diners in Japan, all the food was freshly cooked by the lady, all is homemade food and extremely tasty. There is a lot of variety, also fish and vegetables and so much to eat that it is hard to finish even after 7 hours of hiking... Really excellent!

After completing our fourth day from Ukegawa, this minshuku was magical. Our room was enormous with a sitting area as well as bedroom and luggage area. The bathroom was simple yet adequate. I loved the bonsais in the front entrance. Our hosts provided fantastic kansei for dinner and breakfast leaving us full and ready to face the final day of walking.

Hikers' Heaven
It took us nine hours to hike from Nachi no Taki (Nachi Fall) to Koguchi. So we arrived Koguchi exhaused and later than expected. At the exit point, the owner's wife, Mrs. Nakazawa, was waiting for us with a great smile. What a relief to see her as the village was much larger than we had expected and we were not sure how to find Momofuku. Mr. Nakazawa welcomed us joyfully (as we had not been lost!) and suggested taking a bath before dinner. What a great idea! Bathroom was simple but well equipped and the deep tub was soothing and relaxing. As reviewed by many, the dinner and breakfast were both outstanding. Unlike large inns/ryokans, the dishes were local, fresh and presented with Mr. Nakazawa's personal touch. Bedding was very comfortable. Upon leaving, Mr. Nakazawa directed us to the right path to Kumano Hongu so that we might enjoy the best views and Mrs. Nakazawa took us to the bridge and waved until we were safely on our way. At their small minshuku, we experienced the local tradition of great Kumano Kodo hospitality.

An excellent Minshuku and very welcome stop after our 4th day on the Kumano Kodo. We were made to feel very much part of the family.The room was good,a sleeping area and adjoining reading/rest room. The dinner and breakfast were amazing - the quality and presentation. The host and hostess are very nice people, with good english spoken. We decided in the end not to do the last section from Koguchi to Nachisan as was the toughest section and with the heat and humidity (29 deg and 90% humidity) thought it we would leave it to another time - later in autumn! Mrs Nakazawa kindly gave us a lift to Shingu as she was going shopping, that gave us an opportunity to see Shingu and also more of Nachisan than we otherwise would not have seen.

I arrived quite early at the Minshuku, and I was welcome and shown to my room by the lady of the house. She told me her husband was currently out, and as he spoke English, he will show me around the house when he comes back. She turned on the air conditioner for me, and I was able to relax and rest in the room, which was very spacious, and it also has a wooden legless chair which provided a welcome back support while sitting on the tatami mat. There was a tv and I enjoyed watching the Japanese period drama! The husband came in and welcome me and showed me the shower room and facilities, and told me dinner would be served between 6 and 6:30, which was a feast and there were fruits too! Breakfast was good too, and there were fruits, banana and yoghurt, a nice touch.

After a long day of hiling the Kumano Kodo, we found Momofuku and were welcomed by Hide and his wife. Our teenage children, who were tired and fed-up with Japanese food and beds, were turned around and became lively and enthousiastic again. The food was just super, the beds were the softest futon so far, our clothes were whashed, we had a great time talking and making Jokes with our hosts. Hide speaks reasonable English, which makes things much easier. We would definitely recommend starting here!

Extremely kind and hospitable ryokan - home away from home
This was the most delightful home stay type experience. Mr and Mrs Nakazawa are kind and caring hosts without being intrusive. My room was large and comfortable, I loved the Japanese pajamas I was given to use (more comfortable perhaps than the usual yukata) and lovely Japanese afternoon tea when I arrived. The futon was the most comfortable and snuggly of all the places I stayed on the Kumano Kodo trail. Mr Nakazawa is very entertaining and Mrs Nakazawa is a wonderful cook. The other guests staying that night and I were given a great meal, hearty breakfast and good bento lunch. A highlight of my trip!

Minshuku Momofuku
After a long day of walking we arrived in Koguchi, wet, cold and very sore. We were met at the front by a local reporter, interviewed (still being rained on) and then finally welcomed into the accommodation. I think in the confusion with having a reporter on the scene, we got shown as far as our room and no further. No information was given about when dinner was, where the bathroom was ect. Dinner was excellent, a traditional Japanese set with local produce. We had brought our own umeshu and the owner was happy to provide ice. The rooms where large the futons comfortable, however (this was my biggest complaint), the light was left on the hallway which shines nice and bright through the screen doors into our room. Worse, there is no switch to turn it off. This cumulated into moving our futons into the front room just to get some sleep.

We loved the operator - he had some great stories and made a fantastic meal.

Warm and friendly owner on the trail
The owner of this minshuku, Mr Nakazawa gave me a very warm welcome after 6 hours walking in the cold. He spoke really good English and this was a big bonus. Many foreigner visitors and local Japanese tourist have left glowing reviews of their stay in this minshuku in his guestbook and it was easy to understand why this place was so highly recommended. The minshuku is situated almost right on the Nakahechi route and it is really convenient for hikers. In the next morning before leaving, the owner thoughtfully and kindly asked if my legs were painful after 5 days on the Kumano Kodo (yes they were!). He promptly encouraged me by saying with a clenched fist - ""Finish it!"" I am glad I did!

A very small lodging but wonderful. The food was superb, as was the packed lunch. Extremely kind, helpful, and friendly. The owner was very knowledgeable about the Kumano Kodo, which I was hiking, and so it was very interesting to talk to him.

A well located stop on the Kumano Kodo
We stayed at this small simple minshuku. The meals were well prepared and delicious. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. It was raining heavily on the morning that we were leaving and the owner, an experienced guide, was concerned about the conditions on the trail and provided us with ropes to tie around our boots for extra traction on the very slippery rocks. We were very appreciative.

Best Hosts, Great location, Excellent Meals -- can't ask for more!
We arrived Momofuku early in the afternoon soaking wet. Our hosts immediately helped us changed into the kimonos they provided and washed our cloths and dried our shoes. Since they don't have a dryer, they set up two fans in the second bedroom to dry our cloths overnight. We rested in the large bedroom with a TV until dinner. Dinner was absolutely delicious; we enjoyed every bite. Every dish was well prepared, both presentation and taste. Breakfast was equally delicious. We can't thank our hosts enough for what they did for us. It made our trip so memorable and enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend this mishuku.

A lovely home in the middle of the mountains
A no frills stay in the mountains with this lovely family. The room was very large and nice, but small touches reminded you that this is more of a home than a minshuku: the bug spray by the trash cans, the powerful room deodorizers, the family bathroom and toilet area. The hosts are very charming and pleasant. The food was excellent and abundant. Note that you will use the family bath, which means you will be given a bath time so you can privately bathe. Therefore, you may not get your first choice time slot and there was no morning bath offered. The bath is filled with hot tap water, no onsen water in the village that I know of (no onsen or sento either). Because I was given the first time slot for the bath I was wary to add cold water to the scalding hot bath (the same bath water is used by everyone), so, next time, I would ask if it is ok to adjust the water temperature before bathing.

We had a great stay at Momofuku! The owner was really funny. He made us laugh a lot and was very helpfull (he gave us rope to tie around our shoes to prevent them from slipping). His wife was also really sweet and a great cook. The room we were given was excellent. Really big, the sitting room and sleeping room were separated so we had a lot of space.

The hosts were really nice and helpful. We had asked the bus driver about the momofuku and were therefore able to find it, but maybe it would be good to provide a map of Koguchi (if there isn't one yet). We couldn't find a Koguchi town map which indicated the minshuku's location on this website. Great stay anyway! Great food too ~

大雲取越からすぐの民宿。
小雲取越のあと、大雲取越をあるく前の晩にお世話になりました。 とても暑さの厳しい日だったのですが、笑顔とともに、お部屋をしっかり涼しくして出迎えてくださりました。 お食事もお野菜もりだくさん（ベジダリアン希望でした）で、翌朝は、暑いので早く出発したほうがいいでしょうと、なんと朝の６時に朝食を用意してくださりました。 洗濯もできますよ、お風呂もいつでも入れますよ、などなど、至れり尽くせりで、昔、熊野古道を歩いた人たちが、現地のひとにおもてなしをうけたのが、どんなにこころ休まったかを思わずにはいられませんでした。 非常に質素ですが、必要なものはすべてそろったような、居心地のよい民宿でした。

This was probably our favorite stay on the whole Kumano-kodo. The retired couple offering their rooms to wanderers were warm-hearted, lovely, funny. The food, which may have been arranged on even nicer plates and decors elsewhere, was without doubt the most delicious we got on our twelve-day trip. As we were the only patrons that night, we had an extra room, which made for a private tea room, to ourselves - but each of the rooms would have been quite spacious. You share the hosts' private bath, but everything is very well organized, and the water was nowhere hotter than here! You can't see the house from the hiking trail itself, but we were greeted by our host at the closest intersection before we could even start searching. Also, Koguchi is so small that people will most likely be able to direct you. P.s.: Mr & Mrs Nakazawa - you gave my dad a bamboo trumpet (like a didgeridoo) after he managed to get a tone out of it. To be honest, I did not really understand your warning: whether wild animals will come when we play it in the forest - or wild animals would run away. Anyways, we started playing it very deep into the forest, and a minute later we ran into some very, very beautiful deer (日本鹿), mother and child, which were not at all afraid of us. So thank you for that great gift!

Incredible dinner
Chieko and Hide were wonderful and hospitable. Dinner was a highlight. Each of the many dishes were beautifully presented and decorated with little leaves and flowers from the garden. The front garden was full of beautifully planted and clipped bushes, and orchids. Breakfast was great as was the bento box. Hide spoke good English which made the experience of staying with them all the more enjoyable. He treated us to a most wonderful song of walking the trail...great voice. Chieko smiled lots, hugged me lots and made me hugely welcomed. What an extraordinary place. Thank you...please translate for them.

They got it right
In a beautiful valley in an old and disintegrating village, this minshuku is a gem. You can tell from the outside with its beautifully sculptured gardens, that these owners really care. And inside was the same cleanliness and attention to detail. Very comfortable, lovely small shower and bath. The food was fantastic - with more fresh vegetable and fruit that we've been used to in Japan. Our host spoke some English and was charming . He walked with us in the morning to the start of our day's walk on the Kumano Kodo.

Come to Koguchi, just to stay here.
Superb, well informed hosts, interesting burl art, found rocks, bonsai, garden etc. Amazing meals. Easy to find, many friendly locals. Get lucky like we did and take a trip down the river with your host as a guide. He gave us a synopsis of the history the night before, so that I could translate for my friend and listen with greater ease than on the boat with the motor going. We also got the chance to ask lots of questions by staying there. Unfortunately, not sure how much of these you can get without speaking Japanese, however, they are really lovely people and would likely try hard to communicate regardless. Lovely people.

A simple, but very clean and welcoming country minshuku. The hosts were very hospitable and helpful. The meals are well prepared and plenty to eat (wonderful to have fresh fruit with all meals). Private bathroom (guests take turns) and very clean "drop" toilet. Thick warm futons for winter. More sign posts from the end of the trail from Hongu Taisha would be helpful.

Fantastic stay at Minshuku Momofuku
After a long day on the trail, the welcome we received at Minshuku Momofuku was everything we needed. The proprietors were so gracious and made us feel like we were visiting two very welcoming relatives at their home. The food was so delicious and homey, the futons were like sleeping on a cloud, and the small hot bath was perfect for sore muscles. Minshuku Momofuku is definitely a worthwhile stay if hiking on the Kumano Kodo!

Very friendly and helpful proprieters - we felt so welcomed. The husband even spoke a little English. The Minshuku was beautifully decorated inside and out. The sleeping room was fairly standard for what we encountered in these rural guest houses, but very comfortable and quiet (we were the only guests). Nice bath. Dinner and breakfast were really outstanding - delicious and so beautifully presented. We were also provided with a nice box lunch for our hike, and the owners washed our hiking clothes for us as well. Lovely stay!

Friendly Minshuku
The owners were very friendly and helpful. The wife waved to us from the end of their street as soon as we got off at the bus stop which is very close. She must have been keeping an eye on all of the buses that stopped that afternoon! We were soaking wet from a typhoon-induced rain shower and she took all of our wet clothes and washed and hung them for us. The dinner was delicious, plentiful, and included very fresh sashimi. This is a traditional style Japanese house and would be a great experience for foreigners wanting to learn about Japanese living. It is a small place that only takes 4-5 guests per night. We were the only ones there so it was very quiet and private. Hide-san was a lot of fun to talk to and he knows some English.

山里の風情あふれる民宿でのんびりステイ
最低限の荷物で歩こうと着替えを持って行かなかったので、物干し竿やハンガーが部屋にあって大変良かった。ファブリーズを置いてくれていたのも助かった。部屋内は暖房もしっかり効いていて快適だった。 風呂に関しては、特に広くはないが快適。洗顔フォームがあればなお良かった。 食事は、ボリューミーで豪勢なおふくろの味という感じ。揚げたてのてんぷらを出してくれたり、御飯も自分で盛れるので調整できて良かった。特に、ご主人が熊野川の清流で釣ってきたというアユが大変美味だった。 最後にお客様対応については、親父さん奥さんともに明るくて気さくな方々で話しやすく、現地の情報もいろいろと教えてくれた。「自然体で真心込めたおもてなし」という表現はぴったりだと思う。 ご主人の計らいで海外からの他の宿泊客の方とも仲良くなれて、とても素敵な旅の思い出ができた。 ひとつだけ挙げるなら、トイレのにおいが気になったので、消臭グッズなどを置かれるとさらに良いかと思う。 大変お世話になりました。 ありがとうございました。

初めての熊野古道で最初の宿泊地・・・、小生の不注意でしたがとても印象に残りました。大雲取り越えの途中で山道のＵＰ－ＤＯＷＮに嫌気が指し不用意にコースを舗装林道に変えた事から悲劇が始まりました。行けども行けども小口の人里に辿り着かず、夜の８時頃まで暗い林道を一人で心細く歩いていました。たまたま携帯電話の電波が届く ポイントで熊野ツーリズムの方から連絡が届き、百福の親父さんと私の安否を心配し捜索の準備をされて居る事を知りました。お蔭様で車で迎えに来て頂無事、百福さんに着く事が出来ました。一般道路とは違い夜間は閉鎖されており開門の手続き等色々な方のお世話になっている事も知りました。民宿・百福さんや熊野ツーリズムさんの『お客様を大事に、お気遣う』お気持ちに感動しました。怒られますが、今となっては心温まる良い思い出になりました。

"Hire-san" and his wife were WONDERFUL hosts and the meals were perhaps one of the highlights of our trip! Wonderful blend of tastes in numerous special dishes. We were asked on arrival what time we wanted our bath -- and a cover was put over it, to keep it piping hot, at our convenience. One of the best baths!
