Review: Perfect stay in Keyaki Guesthouse

The owner is a very good host and cook. We had a delicious diner in the evening.
The room is exceptionally beautiful and is very quiet.
The private terrace has a breathtaking view over the valley.
The guesthouse is located on the Kumano Kodo trail, so it could not be better.

Review: Magnificent mountain View

Friendly host. Tasty dinner and breakfast meals. Big and clean Japanese-style room with en-suite toilet and magnificent mountain view in the day and cloud view early in the morning. The accommodation was right next to the hiking route towards Chikatsuyu, which was where I was heading the next day. Lovely stay!

Review: Very nice host and questhouse, with great views and fantastic dinner cooked by host

This is a gem of a guesthouse. Great views as it's located high above the village. House is clean and welcoming and it's such a pleasure to just sit on the patio with a drink and admire the view and the host's pony.
Our host was Mahito-san and he is a great chef. The dinner we had here was better than the ones we had at restaurants !! My only small wish is that the guesthouse could check their guest dietary preferences as my wife was served beef as one of the items, which she doesn't eat.
We also ordered the lunch box for our hike to Chikatsuyu and I believe this was cooked and delivered by a third party, and frankly the quality was not good and was all vegetarian. If you are hiking to Chikatsuyu, there is a rest stop at about 80% of the trail, where you can get the more or less the same simple vegetarian stuff.

Review: A stellar stay!

We can not say enough good things about the Keyaki. This small (2 rooms) guest house is perched on the far end of Takahara with amazing views across the valley to the mountains beyond. We were greeted warmly by the host and shown to two beautiful and comfortable rooms. The food (including the bento box lunch for our next day hike) was wonderful. We simply can not say enough good things about the Keyaki.

Review: Lovely room, views and host!

We had a fabulous stay. Wish we could stayed one more night. Everything was perfect! The host was lovely, we can feel the care through the attention to details (from travel adaptor, maps, coffee beans for drip coffee provided in room), a warmer in the shoe cabinet which dried our shoes wet from the rain.. The view from the room was fantastic. Meals were delicious! Such a memorable stay.

Review: Great accomodation that's on the trail

Great little place. Lovely host. The inn sits on the hill that heads to the trail, so in the morning you are already on your way!

Review: Absolutely fantastic- best on the trail by a mile

We had the most incredible experience staying here on night one of the Kumano Kodo. Highlight of our week for majestic view of the mountains across the country and the rice paddy. The room was spacious and comfortable and our host and meals were superb. Just fabulous.
