- Processing Times
We are currently experiencing an extremely large volume of reservation requests. This is very exciting for our community to host international guests again, but with the sudden and strong interest to walk the sacred Kumano Kodo our local systems are strained, therefore processing times are taking longer than normal.
The spring season 2023, end of March through to May, (especially April) is very busy in the smaller communities, such as Takahara, Koguchi, etc. Here is an article to walk the Kumano Kodo while staying in places with more lodging capacity.
Thank you for your understanding and patience during this recovery period. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
