Tenku-no-Satoyama
Description
Ultimate Mountain Retreat
The ultimate mountain retreat in Japan! Tenku-no-Satoyama is a guesthouse in the ridge top settlement of Takahara along the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route.
The house features a lofty ceiling with open, wood beams, and four bedrooms, kitchen, toilet, and bath. The views are spectacular: terraced rice paddies and mountain panoramas. Guests have been known to spend all day just watching the changing natural scenes, especially the mist as it flows amongst the peaks and in the valley below.
Tenku-no-Satoyama is geared towards those looking for an immersive, quiet stay in the mountains. Multiday stays are recommended.
It is a homestay-type experience as the owner stays overnight in one of the rooms.
◆ IMPORTANT NOTICE ◆ Sorry, curently suspended new reservation requests.

: Included : Not Included
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.
More Information
NOTE: It is difficult and not culturally sensitive to change meal requests, or make new meal demands, onsite when you arrive at accommodations. Vegetarian types must be confirmed during the reservation process and respected during your visit.
