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.

Around 5 minutes walk south of Mirozu (the trailhead of the Nagai-zaka section of the Kumano Kodo Ohechi pilgrimage route) is Guesthouse Harumi, a two story homestay in a tiny fishing village.  It is a well-kept wooden building with small garden.  It is managed by the senior member of the family (—grandma!) who also makes the evening bento box. 

The family who owns it originally ran a sport fishing business, chartering guests to nearby reefs.  But now they are looking to re-use their empty home to host guests from around the world.  Note: Grandma's older brother sleeps on the second floor, but is out fishing during the day!

Mehari Honpo Sangenjaya Korikian is a classic home transformed into a Japanese soba (buckwheat noodles) and tempura restaurant (very popular with locals!).  It is a located in a quite residential area, around 10~15-minute walk (or short taxi ride) from the Kii-Tanabe station.  There is one guestroom with twin beds.  The restaurant windows look onto a small Japanese garden.  The name of the restaurant and guesthouse derives from a type of local specialty called Mehari-Sushi, rice wrapped in a pickled Takana mustard leaf, which is also on the menu!  Mehari Honpo Sangenjaya Korikian is a relaxed, laid-back place to stay with delicious, authentic Japanese cuisine.

Only one booking per day.  Sorry, no small children.

◆ IMPORTANT NOTICE ◆ Sorry, closed until December 31, 2020.
