Miko did an incredible job hosting us and her place is jaw dropping. This stay is worth traveling across the country for, it’s beautiful. The food was incredibly yummy too!

This was the nicest place we stayed in along the Kumano Kodo Nakahechi trail by far! It was even better than the Ryokan we stayed in later at Yunomine Onsen area. The house itself was absolutely gorgeous and spotless. It used to be owned by a geisha. It was really warm and cosy inside the house. The wooden bathtub was also lovely for a hot bath too. The host Miko was extremely lovely and helpful. She was very easy to communicate with over WhatsApp and spoke excellent English. She liaised with us to organise to meet us to pick up our luggage from outside the bus stop at Takijiri, and then later met up with us to pick us up from the Takahara rest stop after our 2hr hike. It was all streamlined and happened without a hitch. She was also kind enough to help us with parts of our itinerary that we hadn’t ironed out properly and we really appreciated her advice. Dinner, breakfast and lunch were delicious. Dinner had a wide range of small Japanese dishes and what I think is called Shabu Shabu. Breakfast was eggs within toast, yoghurt and some fruit. I don’t think she is doing lunch boxes anymore this year but it was very delicious. Instead you can buy lunch on your second day at the co-op along the way. Overall we would strongly recommend staying at this place! Thank you Miko for hosting us

This by far was our favorite stay through the entire kumano kodo journey. Located in a modern geisha house, this was one of the nicest homes I've ever been to in any country. The design was stunning, and the kaiseki dinner and breakfast were superb. The persimmon spring rolls in particular were something I'd never experienced prior and left quite an impression.

We had a wonderful stay at Komorian, probably the best accomodation of our whole holiday in Japan. The house is beautiful, very well equiped, surrounded by nature. The meals (dinner, breakfast and lunch box) were all excellent. But the best is certainly the kindness of Miko, the hostess, whose presence and help was really appreciated for the beginning of our walk on the Nakahechi route... Thank you again Miko !

Wow. Our stay at the Komorian (1 couple and 1 friend) was so gorgeous that we would’ve loved to stay longer! The host Miko-san is very friendly and organized, replied quickly and an amazing cook. The house is city and beautifully decorated. Our stay at the Komorian was probably be one of the best we ever had in our lifes, hands down. Thanks again for your kindness and the good time!

We really appreciated Miko picking us up from the Takahara rest stop. When we arrived to Komorian, it was such a beautiful location. We loved the view of the river from the window and house itself was exquisite. Miko also was a great host, and her meals were top notch!

We had an exceptional stay at Miko’s house. It was extremely well appointed, comfortable and attention to detail was impeccable. Miko was a wonderful host and provided beautiful meals. Located a short distance from Takahara rest stop, Miko picked us up and dropped us off again in the morning. We had the best stay at Kormorian and it was a wonderful start to our walk on the Kumano Kodo. We thoroughly recommend staying at Kormorian guest house.

Komorian was a beautiful house, very impressive! When I booked it I thought it would be shared with the hostess, but no, she stays in a separate space nearby. The house is private, in a serene wooded setting by a stream, with amazing workmanship throughout. The ofuro and wooden tub were unlike anything I had ever seen (gorgeous). There was a nice selection of reading material, and also a nice selection of alcoholic beverages for a fee. Our hostess was prompt (and flexible) in picking us up at the appointed time, and dropped us off when we wanted the next morning. She speaks English as a native and was happy to discuss logistics for the Kumano Kodo with us. The food was truly outstanding and plentiful, the best of the trip!

We enjoyed a delightful stay at Kamorian. Although we visited in the middle of winter, Miko made every effort to make the place very warm and comfortable for us. She cooked us a fantastic meal using local ingredients and was a very bubbly, kind and helpful host. The traditional house is set in a beautiful little garden by a trickling stream, and the atmosphere was so peaceful. The deep wooden hot tub and all the small details made for a memorable stay. Hot water for tea and a selection of cold beverages are available too.

Miko is a warm hostess who welcomes her guests in a very stylish former house of a geisha. There are several traditional rooms where you can relax wonderfully and the large living room with its own kitchenette is the perfect place to end the day in peace with a view of the river. Miko is also an excellent cook and spoilt us with local dishes in the evening and for breakfast. Unfortunately we only stayed one night! We felt like we were in 5 star accommodation!
