Healing Hongu Guesthouse Retreat
SOLA is a traditional private rental house shared with the owner in the heart of Hongu Town, home to Kumano Hongu Taisha Grand Shrine located just 5 minutes away, and the grand Otorii gate 3 minutes away. This tranquil inn has 3 bedrooms, Japanese tatami mat rooms, serene view of a Japanese garden, and a peaceful atmosphere to relax during your Kumano Kodo pilgrimage. The owner, a licensed acupuncturist, provides traditional Japanese acupuncture and chiropractic treatments that can be booked in advance. Meals include locally sourced ingredients and dietary requests such as gluten-free can be prepared upon advance request when booking. Also, with a multi-night stay, SOLA can be a starting point for a section of the Kogumotori by taking an early morning bus from the nearby Hongu Taisha-mae bus stop. SOLA is great for family or friends hoping to refresh when they arrive in Hongu.

Type A Type B Type C Type D Type E Vegetarianism is not common in the Japanese countryside. 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.
