Accommodations

Staying in traditional style accommodations is one of the joys of travelling in the area, especially in a hot spring village where you can soak in healing mineral waters and dine on fresh local cuisine. There are different sets of rules than at a western style hotel, but with a little bit of preparation and practice it can be a rewarding experience.

Nachisan

Minshuku

Mitaki Sanso has the privilege of being the only accommodation on Nachisan, located just below the Kumano Nachi Taisha and Seiganto-ji Temple.

"Mitaki 美滝" means "beautiful waterfall", and "Sanso 山荘" can be translated as "mountain villa, mountain retreat, or mountain cottage", is an appropriate name for this lodging in the mountains with beautiful views of the Nachi waterfall, at 133 meters, the tallest in Japan and worshipped as a deity. 

Meals feature local produce in dishes, highlighting the seafood from the nearby Pacific coast.

It is a convenient base for walkers on the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route who are starting or finishing the Ogumotori-goe section.

Being located on Nachisan has lent a sort of austere feeling to this accommodation in regards to simplicity and rules, as it often hosts pilgrims to the area.  Please familiarize yourself with Japanese etiquette before you arrive. Also, be sure to check in by 18:00 at the latest.

◆Important◆
Supper will be served as a bento box meal.
The meal situation is subject to change.

Nachisan

Guesthouse/B&B

Minpaku Kodo is a family home that was re-purposed into a guesthouse.  This home is in a residential development around 5 minutes south of the entrance to the Daimon-zaka section of the UNESCO World Heritage Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route.  It is a two story building with Japanese style guestrooms on the second floor and a western style guestroom with bunk bed on the first floor.  Also on the first floor is a kitchen, toilet, bath and communal sitting area.  There are no meals, but instant food and snacks are for sale. The owner is very interested in visitors and what they think of the area, so much that she is studying English at a local conversation school!  She often offers to drive guests to nearby spots such as the closest supermarket.

◆Important Note about Check-in◆

Check-in information will be provided after reservation confirmation and payment.
