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!

An amazing old agricultural building that has its charm, including the oddities of the layout. Two guestrooms on the first floor with the Japanese guestroom offering wonderful views of the river. Highly recommend jumping in the river after a long days walk (accessed down the stairs, a short walk across the bridge from the accommodation). The shared facilities were very comfortable and the woman working there was very willing to chat about Japanese life and the history of the building. The bath is located two floors down from the guestrooms.
