MUI is an older home lovely reformed into a cozy guesthouse steps away from the Kumano Kodo Nakahechi route about 15 minutes walk east of Tsugizakura-oji. The owner moved to the area because of her love of the mountains and desire to live a rural lifestyle and was inspired to create a place of communication and exchange for pilgrims after her walk on the Way of St. James in Spain. The first thing that guests will notice is the location: a small set of homes, interspersed with tiny, terraced fields surrounded by towering cedars and cypress trees. The second is her pet goats! There are two Japanese-style guestrooms on the second floor with a communal sitting area, bath, and toilet on the first floor. A small yard in front of the house offers a quiet place to sit and relax. Home-made meals are served in the dining area, a renovated building next to the house.
◆ NOTE ◆
From January 2022, guests who would like an early check-in time (13: 00-15: 00), will be charged 1,000 yen per room to be paid at check-in. Thanks for your understanding. If you wish to do so, please indicate so in the remarks column on the booking form.

Minshuku Tsugizakura is named after the nearby Tsugizakura-oji, an ancient shrine with centuries old trees along the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route. The Nonaka-no-Shimizu spring, one of Japan’s 100 famous waters, is just around the corner.
Minshuku Tsugizakura is a simple home that was turned into a guesthouse at the beginning of 2011 by the Yuba family. Mr. Yuba is a professional chef and worked all over Japan before returning to his hometown in the mountains to open this minshuku - which is why the traditional Japanese meals here are so delicious!
Sorry, consecutive nights are not possible.
NOTE:
The owners are winding down their business, so availability cannot be guaranteed, and reservations from 2025 will not be accepted.
