Perfect private stay for Kumano Kodo hikers – great host and beautiful scenery
We stayed here as a group of three and had the entire house to ourselves – no other guests, just the three of us. It was incredibly private and comfortable. The house has everything we needed: a cozy living room, a fully equipped kitchen, a clean bathroom, and even a washing machine. No meals were included, but our wonderful host picked us up at Takahara Rest Area and kindly took us to a supermarket first so we could buy food for dinner, breakfast, and lunch for the next day. The following morning, the host drove us back to Takahara Rest Area to continue our Kumano Kodo hike to Chikatsuyu. Even though the location is a bit further from the main Kumano area, it was absolutely worth it – the setting is beautiful, with a backyard and a river flowing right behind the house. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, private, and well-supported stop along the Kumano Kodo trail.

Very kind host and comfortable stay
Mr Minchiro Kubo is very welcoming, attentive and warm. He texted me a day before the stay and very responsive. I was doing the Kumano Kodo walk from Takijiri (Kumano Kodo Kan) to Takahara, and he kindly picked me up at Takahara Kiri no sato rest area and dropped me off at the same place the next day to continue the walk. He even got worried because I walked by myself under a pouring rain condition - a very kind host! His house is very comfortable and there is a washing machine and a dehumidifier room where you can dry your clothes. Totally recommend to stay at this place. Thank you for the hospitality Mr Minchiro!

Nice homestay
The location is actually near Takijiri. But Michhiro-san was kind enough to pick us up from Takahara rest area. He took us to a Lawson for us to buy our dinner and lunch (for the next day) as his homestay did not provide any meals (which was fine with us). He prepared some simple breakfast (bread, bananas and yogurt and cold cuts). We got the whole place to ourselves and it is a beautiful place just next to a stream. We had the entire kitchen and toilet literally to ourselves. Very comfortable and the host is such a nice man. The views were fantastic. He sent us back to Takahara rest area the next morning for us to continue our hike. Very happy with this homestay.

The owner picked us up from the Tskahara restaurant on time! He took us to buy our dinner and next day lunch items. Nice location by a stream, with a nice garden too.

I had a nice night here. The host was very friendly, and kindly picked me up from the rest stop at the end of the first leg of the hike and stopped at a combini on the way to the guesthouse so I could pick up some food and snacks for dinner and the next day's lunch. The house was very clean, the futon was cozy, and the backyard was beautiful, full of gardens and a stream. I had the whole place to myself! The house could fit quite a few people, so I imagine this could be a great choice for a larger group hiking together.
