The location was not the best, we walked from Takajiri to Takahara and then stayed closer to Takajiri than Takahara, but the host picked us up and dropped us off the next day so all in all it was a goof alternative option because there was nothing available closer to Takahara.

Great start to the trail!
Hiroki and Naoko were both very friendly and welcoming. They have a gorgeous property and were kind enough to pick us up and drop us off at the trail since it's not right on the route. Definitely the best meal I had on the trail! Very glad I stayed here - a great place to stay the day before starting the trail too.

Phenomenal dining and lovely guest house
Absolutely blown away with the cooking skills of the host. Having vegetarian food specially cooked in a country where it’s hard to find meals was truly remarkable. Someone give them a Michelin star ⭐️

An amazing place to start the Kumano Kodo
Hiroki-san and Naoko-san were very hospitable hosts and picked us up from the stop and took us to the trail head in the morning and were great at communicating with us!. The accommodation is new and very clean and comfortable. The highlight was a really beautiful dinner (and breakfast) served in a gorgeous traditional Japanese dining room with some other pilgrims.

Super comfortable and hospitable
The hosts were very kind, picking me up and even stopping by a grocery store so i could buy some food. The supper, breakfast and lunch they prepared for me was incredible!!! The home was very comfortable and the laundry and washing machine was a bonus.

Kumano stay
The only thing that stopped me putting 5 stars was that we would have liked to stay on the trail. However, our accommodation was exceptional. The hosts very helpful and welcoming, and the food top class. Like eating in a 5 star restaurant. Unbelievable. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

ありがとうございました。
女ひとり旅でしたが、ご親切に対応頂き、熊野古道の旅がぐっと満喫したものになりました。熊野本宮大社まで辿り着けるか少し不安でしたが、途中の路線バスの利用の話しも小耳に挟み、無理なく旅が出来ました。ご親切にありがとうございました。しいて言えば、もう少し日本人の観光客が増えるともっといいですね。

Lovely stay with great amenities including washer and shoe dryer which were really helpful due to the rain we encountered. Very sweet hosts who prepared the most amazing meal we had during the course of the trail!
