Review: One of our favorite stays in all of Japan

The room, the view, the food, the people, the pony - everything was perfect and unforgettable. Waking up and seeing the mist over the mountains felt like a fairytale. Please stay here if you can!

Review: A treasure along Kumano Kodo

It was a perfect stay !
The house is located along the Kumano Kodo trail... very convenient, except for the steep climb up, especially a day of tiring walk !

However, what welcomed us was the beautiful view from the house, especially from our room ! The sunset view of the mountains was excellent !

Facilities in the room was perfect, so thoughtful.. from the coffee making counter with its own tap & sink, to the wc, to the wash basin and the bathroom. What we love most was the raised tatami platform on which the futons were placed.. Especially comfortable as futon were placed on top of a cushion mattress that's a few inches thick. Best sleep ever !

The host, Mahito-san made the best and pretty kaiseki dinner ! Even the western breakfast was served in a bento box with perfect toast ! He should be awarded michelin stars !

The house had 3 young children, but they were so well behaved that we didn''t even know of their existence until the 2 5yr old appeared during dinner and was introduced to us. She was so cute !

Overall, a perfect stay. Nothing else we could have asked for !

Review: A warm, welcoming family home

We were greeted by the very kind and hospitable owner (Mahito) after a cold and rainy start to our hike. We were guided through the warm house to our rooms and were stunned by the view of the valley. After a well-needed shower, we sat down for dinner. So much time and and care was put into the meal. It was one of the best meals of our entire Japan trip. The atmosphere was so disarming. We could have fallen asleep at the table. The soft pitter patter of children's feet really reminded you that you were a guest in this lovely home at this ephemeral moment in time.

Review: Everything perfect!

The wooden house is absolutely beautiful with a splendid view over the valley. The meals were home made and so delicous! The owner is very friendly and dried all the wet equipment so that everything was ready for hiking the next morning. Everything was just perfect!

Review: Our favourite place on the Kumano Kodo trail

Nestled on the side of the hill with stunning views across the valley, Keyaki was the most charming of the places we stayed on our five-day walk. Our host and chef Mohito was warm and friendly and his meals were the best. This is a small family home but the tatami rooms are totally private and peaceful.

Mahito was an incredible host. His English was pretty good! Communication was easy.
The room in Takahara was my favorite. The view was phenomenal. The room itself was very special. Ofuro was clean. Futons were very comfy. Tea and coffee station allowed us to have high quality drinks in our room.
The dinner and breakfast spread was so fresh and tasty as well. It was an awesome way to spend the first night of this itinerary.
