在小口便利、舒服、且氣氛很好的住宿

晚餐及隔天的午餐,可以透過民宿預定或者到對面的南方商店準備。 民宿是以前的農業事務所,我們住的雅房隔音很好。雖然廁所在一樓,半夜起來上有點小痛苦,但住房體驗整個很好。 一樓是咖啡廳,晚上咖啡廳休息站之後,住客可以在一樓吃飯休息,有種在文青咖啡店住一晚的感覺。 民宿主人很年輕而且英文可以流利溝通,非常謝謝她詳細的介紹以及招待。 對了,浴室有浴缸。這在走了一天的山路實在是種救贖。但也請跟另外一房的住客協調好洗澡時間,因為浴室是共用一間的。

automated translation: Dinner and lunch for the following day can be booked through the guesthouse or arranged at the Minakata Shop opposite. The guesthouse is a former agricultural office, and the private room we stayed in was very well soundproofed. Although the toilet is on the ground floor—which made getting up in the middle of the night a bit of a hassle—the overall stay was excellent. The ground floor houses a café; after the café closes in the evening, guests can dine and relax there, giving the feeling of spending the night in a hipster café. The host is very young and speaks fluent English; we are very grateful to her for her detailed introduction and hospitality. Oh, and the bathroom has a bathtub. After a day’s walk in the mountains, this was a real treat. However, please do coordinate your shower times with the guests in the other room, as the bathroom is shared.

Location makes this stay

Overall, the welcoming staff and cozy bedroom made this place very comfortable. It was quite cold the night we were there but the staff were helpful in trying to bring up extra heaters. Arranging the bento dinner and lunch was great and totally met our needs.

Fantastic!!!

This was by far my favorite accommodation on the Kumano Kodo! Koichiro is the kindest person and made us feel so welcomed when we arrived at the Kumoma Lodge! The room had an incredible view of Koguchi and it was so cool to have the coffee shop below our room. Great vibes, drinks, and a real sense of community! Staying here was a highlight of the trip for me! The bento box was also so delicious too!!

Best place for us on the Kumano

These futons were so comfortable I emailed to ask what kind they were! They called the bath „the prison bath“ as it’s in the basement but the water was hot. There is a cafe on site and the host was lovely

Rustic but comfortable stay in an area with limited options

There are not many options in Koguchi, therefore I was happy even though it’s expensive. You can order bento meals extra, Breakfast is basic. There is a store across the street for snacks and drinks. Good common areas for listening to music.

Guest comment: Cleanliness in bathrooms was significantly lacking, and lights did not work including provided lantern for the bathroom. Check in was easy but there was no staff on site to contact in case of issues. Breakfast provided was meagre and while the house was large it had a very creepy vibe. Do not recommend for the price.

Fantastic place to stay

The house was amazingly comfortable, we had everything we needed, could swim in the river and do our grocery shopping before the sun set. I loved this place and would love to come back. Thanks a lot!
