the shower room door could not be locked. As I usually take quick shower, I would consider that as a minor issue.

Best meal and great host.

We had a lovely stay at Joe place. He is a great cook..all 3 meals prepared by him were the best we had in our trek. Although it is 10 mins walk to the koguchi trail point.. it is no problem to us. Joe also wanted to took us to a 15 meditation at the temple which was really nice..he is so kind to drive us to collect stamp which save us heaps of time catching the bus..his kindness is greatly appreciated. Definitely recommend this place.

A meal not to be missed

The host was very courteous and helpful. Every meal was out of expectation and out of the world, making this home a must. Creating a yearning to return.

Pilgrims Joe | Supper, Breakfast & Lunch box

John is a wonderful host - very kind and hospitable. As many have mentioned, he's also an incredible cook - restaurant-quality meals deep in the hills of the Nakahechi route! And what a lunch-box, too... Everything about our stay was excellent, in particular the visit to the local shrine (organised between John and the resident monk) which was a very memorable and special experience. We felt very lucky to be able to stay here and it really was a highlight of our trip. The western-style room was very large and comfortable; I'd recommend this option. I wish John all the best and hope he is able to achieve his own dreams of travelling around the world soon!
