I only had breakfast provided by the accommodation but it is good. The room is very clean. Not much noise due to the scarcity of guests. The location is more remote than I expected, which I thought it might be a good choice after walking the Shiomi Pass and the possibility of waking up slightly later and catching the early bus. However, after knowing that their breakfast can only start at 7 no matter what, I suggest it would be best to live in Kii-Tanabe instead. The closest convenience store is a 12 minute walk away, the road is not well lit as night mind you. I'm not sure why it only provide options for breakfast and dinner and breakfast only in the website, but I highly recommend to provide a dinner only option, so that people who need to catch the 06:45 bus to Takijiri-Oji can make it in time.

This place was recently built and the quality of the rooms, spaces, and building reflect that. Our room was decently-sized, with good shower room, nightlights, charge areas near the bed, and solid amenities overall. There's laundry, nice common areas with coffee and tea available, and overall, the space is well put together and welcoming. The host of this place is exceptional, providing shuttle to and from the guesthouse with a smile. He was extra accommodating, letting us checkout later to wait out the heavy rains. The food is tasty, but vegetarian options are not available, so plan ahead. Overall, an excellent start to our journey and a fine place to stay the night before you start your hike.
