The accommodation is further away than expected. It is absolutely necessary to get picked up and sent to the accommodation. Calling to be picked is necessary.

Stay here!
I thought a bento dinner might be less than desirable after a day on the trail and I was very wrong! Absolutely beautiful and delicious. Aki took great care of us and the place is so thoughtfully put together!

Excel·lent
Tot i que està una mica apartada de la ruta el servei de recollida és ràpid i eficient. Es van posar en contacte amb mi per WhatsApp uns dies abans, la qual cosa va facilitar la comunicació. El lloc, el menjar i l'amabilitat de l'amfitriona insuperables.
automated translation: Although it's a bit off the beaten path, the pickup service is fast and efficient. They got in touch with me via WhatsApp a few days in advance, which made communication easy. The place, the food, and the host's kindness are unbeatable.

Wonderful stay in a small village!
We had such an amazing stay at Noko Noko! The owner was fantastic and had the cutest cat! The dinner bento box was quite luxurious with many side dishes and the breakfast included both sweet and savory offerings. The place was clean, cozy and wonderfully curated with artwork from a local artist! The futon was very comfy, and we appreciated having an attached bathroom to ourselves. The transportation to and from the Takahara rest stop was also very helpful and easy! The owner provided us with a map of the village, and we enjoyed a short and lovely walk through the village.

Beautiful arty retreat!
Kumano Gallery Guest House Noko Noko was like a little dry, warm haven! We had just walked 5km in pouring rain so were delighted to arrive at this little accomodation. The place is well designed, warm, clean, cosy and comfortable. The artwork on all the walls is spectacular! Hand drawn images of fauna and flora from across the Kii Peninsular adorns the walls, all drawn by a local artist who is friends with the host. The food provided for dinner, breakfast and lunch the next day was delicious and plenty of it too! Also a nice touch is they have locally brewed beers and sake in the fridge that you can buy if you feel like one. Overall such a sweet place to stay!
