Danshaku is a café and guesthouse with unobtrusive store front on a back street near Tokei-jinja shrine in Tanabe City.  It is run by a retired man who loves music and chatting with customers.  He prides himself, and takes true enjoyment, in serving coffee one guest at a time.  (Don’t order coffee if you are in a rush!)  His love of music began in childhood and has a collection of over 1500 CDs with 700 being classical!  (He currently streams from YouTube now and again to compliment his library!)  It is quazi men’s club—most of his clients being elder males that live nearby—if fact for the guesthouse only males can stay.  The guestrooms are on the second floor and Japanese style.  The bath and toilet facilities are in the back of the café.

※ Only accepting female travelers in groups of 2 or more. 

◆ IMPORTANT NOTICE ◆ 
We will be closed until further notice.

Albergue Kodo is a family run guesthouse in a rural residential area near the JR Nachi train station.  The owner has lived here for over 15 years and is originally from Tokyo.  He runs a printing shop onsite.  Recently he restored an older home on his property (all by himself!), transforming it into a lovely guesthouse with three rooms.  His dream is to make friends from around the world and expose his children to international people.  It is a very quaint atmosphere with shared facilities focused on communication and exchange—a cross between homestay and hostel (the word Albergue is Spanish from the facilities on the Way of St.James pilgrimage route in Northern Spain).  Often the family eats with the guests in the communal kitchen area.  The house itself is two stories surrounded by a large yard and forested mountain side.

Minpaku Hinokuma has evolved from the owner’s hobbies: building things, travelling, and walking. 
He started by building a small wooden hut for a tea house where walkers on the Kumano Kodo section between Tanabe and Takijiri-oji could take a break.  Then over a period of 1.5 years he built a small bath house with homemade goemon cauldron bath and a simple cabin for sleeping.  The buildings are spread out over a large grassed area. 

A simple breakfast is supplied but evening meals must be bought before arriving or eat at a rural Chinese restaurant nearby. 
Shuttles are available from nearby train stations: Asso, Kii-Tanabe and Shirahama, plus Takijiri-oji and Takahara. 

If you arrive early ask the owner to try blow darts, canoe or his other hobby!
