Loved this place

This inn has the feel of a hunting lodge and we loved it. Extremely friendly hosts were very welcoming. A great way to complete our first hiking day.

Well organised and friendly

Super helpful and friendly. Excellent food. Washing machine worked well and having a dehumidifier in the room meant it dried by the morning easily. The view to the river is stunning. A older place but clean, maintained and great stay.

Incredibly Kind Couple

We went during the off season, so we had to hike down the switch back road to get to the guest house. The host immediately helped us get newspaper into our soaking shoes and got a de-humdifier out and ready to help us dry our gear. Very cozy place to stay at. There is a bath in the guest house, but the host offered to drive us up the road to Hotel Nosegawa to their hot springs and have us notify the reception for them to call her once we were done. Dinner and breakfast were amazing, lunch helped boost morale with another downpour day hiking during a typhoon. The husband offered a rain poncho to my partner as his rain jacket wasn't holding up which help us a lot the rest of the trip. Would go back just to visit the guesthouse and onsen.

High emergency light in the corridor disturbing for sleeping, since room doors let the light in. Thank you again for your great reception and service.

Great place to stay in Omata

A perfect first (or last) nights stay whilst hiking the Kumano Kodo Kohechi. Located a 20 minute walk from the trailhead, the place is easy to find by following along the road northwest from Omata. The hosts also kindly offer a shuttle service in the morning back to the trailhead to resume the hike. For those who are looking for an onsen to relax in after the walk, the owners will point you in the direction of a hotel in a local village that provided one and will give you a discount voucher.
