Minpaku Hinokuma has evolved from the owner’s hobbies: building things, travelling, and walking. 
He started by building a small wooden hut for a tea house where walkers on the Kumano Kodo section between Tanabe and Takijiri-oji could take a break.  Then over a period of 1.5 years he built a small bath house with homemade goemon cauldron bath and a simple cabin for sleeping.  The buildings are spread out over a large grassed area. 

A simple breakfast is supplied but evening meals must be bought before arriving or eat at a rural Chinese restaurant nearby. 
Shuttles are available from nearby train stations: Asso, Kii-Tanabe and Shirahama, plus Inabane-Oji bus stop. 

If you arrive early ask the owner to try blow darts, canoe or his other hobby!

Hackberry Heim Kuchikumano is a facility with three different room sizes, 2 large rooms (shared toilet and shower facilities), 2 rooms for 2 people (ensuite toilet and bath), and 2 rooms for 4 people (ensuite toilet and bath).  It is located near the Kamitonda sports park and is popular with youth sports teams, as the players can stay in the larger rooms and teachers/coaches can stay in the smaller ones.  It is easiest accessed by car and the owner offers shuttle services from nearby train stations (Kii-Tanabe, Asso, Shirahama) if booked in advance. Meals are bento style delivered to the accommodation.

◆ Only western rooms (twin rooms, quad rooms) are available at the moment.
