Above and Beyond

This guesthouse was so accommodating. No problem picking us up from bus and taking us to accommodation and to start of hike the next morning. They have laundry equipment, showers and washrooms which are very clean as are the rooms. The food was amazing - fresh and beautifully prepared. It gave us the opportunity to try foods we would never think to order. The guesthouse owners were so kind and I felt they really wanted us to have a nice time.

Amazing authentic stay with local family

The guesthouse can only house up to two groups, it is small and intimate. The hosts are so lovely and can pick you up at the bus stop or in Takahara. I would stay here anytime again. The dinner and breakfast were the best we had on the entire Kumano trip, eating at the host's house next door. The lunch pack was also exceptional.

Hiroki and Naoko were incredible hosts. Hiroki thoughtfully picked us up in Takahara and was very easy to communicate with. The food was exceptional - we felt so grateful for the thought and time that went into the preparation, especially the accommodation of our allergies. It was an exceptional stay!

This was my first accommodation on the Nakahechi Route, and I'm so grateful it was. It's a little off the trail, but they picked me up near the Takahara parking lot. It was very easy to coordinate via WhatsApp, and the next day the next day they took me back to the same spot to continue the trail. The owners are very kind, the accommodation is modern, very clean, and comfortable. The food was incredible, beautifully presented. Thank you for hosting me!
