Danshaku is a café and guesthouse with unobtrusive store front on a back street near Tokei-jinja shrine in Tanabe City.  It is run by a retired man who loves music and chatting with customers.  He prides himself, and takes true enjoyment, in serving coffee one guest at a time.  (Don’t order coffee if you are in a rush!)  His love of music began in childhood and has a collection of over 1500 CDs with 700 being classical!  (He currently streams from YouTube now and again to compliment his library!)  The guestrooms are on the second floor and are Japanese style.  The bath and toilet facilities are in the back of the café.

TSUKASA HOUSE is a comfortable guest house just 10 minutes walk from Kii-Tanabe Station. It is within walking distance to Ajikoji restaurant district, UNESCO World Heritage-listed Tokei-jinja, the Pacific Ocean, and also convenience stores and bento box-lunch shops. The renovated traditional home exudes the warmth of scented wood and offers 3 Japanese-style guestrooms. The manager moved from Yokohama and is now a local interpreter guide who speaks Japanese and English and can answer questions about Tanabe or the Kumano Kodo. It is recommended for guests just visiting the city or planning to walk the Kumano Kodo Nakahechi or Ohechi the next day.

Ataigawa Guest House is a beautifully renovated family home located 20 minutes walk from Kii-Tanabe Station. The building is over 100 years old with an interesting layout. The second floor has separate large living quarters with their own stair entrances with door locks.  The 1st floor is communal space shared with other guests including living room, kitchen, bath and toilet. The owners hope it would be a comfortable stay for both Japanese and international guests interested in Japanese rural culture.  The lodging offers no meals, but guests can enjoy delicious seasonal seafood at any number of izakaya-style restaurants in the Ajikoji district close to Kii-Tanabe Station. It can be a relaxing option for those planning on walking the Kumano Kodo the next day.

Konyamachiya is a restored Machiya townhouse near the mouth of the Aizu-gawa river in a local neighborhood of the rural Tanabe City.  The two story wooden house is lovingly renovated, preserving the original atmosphere of the building, yet furnished with modern comforts.  The dark browns of the rough, original beams are a distinctive feature of the interior. 

Staying at Konyamachiya offers a private, relaxed, and authentic experience in a traditional Japanese house.  This project is part of a cultural rejuvenation movement supported by a diversity of local associations and stakeholders.
