This cozy guest house is a renovated 150-year-old former kimono store in rural Owase not far from the Kumano Kodo Iseji route. Guests can enjoy the mix of old and new wooded scents and, not far away, hear the waves of the Pacific Ocean lapping on the shore. Ms. Hirayama, one of the owners, has studied abroad in the United States, speaks English well, and is a marine sports instructor. The house has a comfortable, relaxing, community atmosphere and is a great place to refresh. Only one group is booked to stay a day.
Meals are bento boxes delivered from "Bento no Mise Shiohama" operated by her husband’s family.

Even if only one group is booked to stay per day, please note that the outdoor shower and common space are shared with marine sports participants.
This inn is an "agriculture, forestry and fishery experience guest house," so all plans come with a story about the Kumano Kodo from the owner at check-in.
