KUMANO TRAVEL

Wagaranchi is a classic Japanese building near the JR Kumanoshi train station that was transformed into a guesthouse. 

It is over 100 years old and was originally a traditional Japanese style restaurant.  It is a two story wooden structure, long and narrow.  There are 4 guestrooms: 3 on the second floor and 1 on the first floor. There is a communal kitchen for guests to use. 

There is NO BATH in the accommodation, but a “sento” public bath is nearby. 

Nostalgic antiques are on display from the “Showa” era (1926-1989), with music and paraphernalia from that generation.

The Resort Kumano Club brings together the best of the Kumano region: local products, experiences, and scenery.  It is an expansive facility in the low mountains near the Pacific Ocean surrounded by orchards, with a line of mountains in the background.  The location offers a relaxed rural feeling.  The guestrooms and cottages are well designed, many with private outdoor baths.  The executive chef prides himself on highlighting the delicious and subtle elements of the fresh, local produce.  They even produce their own, original handmade jams, salad dressings, etc. You can take it easy or be active, such as renting a bicycle or joining an optional tour; the choice is yours!
