This inn is perfect for small groups. Three rooms available, all western-style rooms.
The family who owns the inn transplanted after running a yakitori-style izakaya restaurant for 30 years in Wakayama City to start their own inn and cafe in the Kumano area.
Although plans include two or three meals, guests can also relax and enjoy light food and drinks from the "N.S. Cafe" next door run by the owner's son.

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 owners moved to the area because of their love of the mountains and desire to live a rural lifestyle. They were inspired to create a place of communication and exchange for pilgrims after their 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 their pet goat! There are two Japanese style guestrooms on the second floor with 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!
