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!

Great service!

This guest house is a 15 minute drive from the trailhead, but the host shuttles you back and forth and was very responsive and communicative. The room was fine, bathroom was fine. They had a bath and laundry, which we definitely would have used had we been further into the trail. The meals were maybe the best we had the whole time and the hosts were very welcoming. They also provided some extra tea and coffee, which was a nice perk.
