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!
