Description
Mountain-side Cool Homestay
Sansaro Cafe & Guesthouse is a "mountain-side cool" home stay in Kumano-gawa village (15 minute bus ride from Koguchi). It was opened in 2014 by Ms. Uzawa, who fell in love with the location in the natural surroundings. She is a dynamic soul with strong interest in yoga, music, food, healing, and the vitality of the Kumano region. Sansaro is a cafe with a house next door. There is one guestroom in the cafe itself, the others are in the house. It overlooks the Akagi-gawa river and rice fields with mountains framing the horizon on all sides. The Kanmaru bus stop is nearby. Music is a mainstay with a DJ stand, piano, and other instruments. An onsen ticket is given to guests on check-in to use the nearby Satsuki hot spring bath for free.
Yoga lessons are offered to guests staying at the inn.
Fee: 4,200 yen per person (free for children 11 and under)
Length: 60 min
Time: from 20:00 on check-in day to 9:30 on check-out day.
Guests can experience Reiki Healing instead of a Yoga lesson for the same price (4,200 yen / 30 minutes / session).
Ask the owner directly at check-in for details.
※NOTE: Free pass to Satsuki Onsen is not included with No Meal Plan.

Please double-check the Vegetarian Type which the service provider can accommodate to make sure that it meets your needs. Often being able to eat trace amounts of the ubiquitous Katsuo Dashi (fish stock) makes it easier to find options.
