Felt felt like I should be sharing ham and tomatoes with Ponyo! Very cool way to get off the beaten path and experience
Authentic-feeling accommodation. Host is lovely- knowledgable, kind and accommodating. Felt very relaxed there, could unwind easily. Close to many izakaya, easily accessible to other amenities.

It was a nice place to stay before the Kumano Kodo hike. Koji, the host, is so kind and his hospitality knows no bounds

Beautiful, beautiful guesthouse!
This might have been one of my favourite guesthouse stays!
The place is beautiful and feels so peaceful- a great base if you are hiking the Kumano Kodo!
I loved all the art in the rooms and the way the sun came through…

我在這住三晚，每天早上搭6：16分巴士走熊野古道，非常非常方便省時間，快跑三分鐘，慢走五分鐘就到車站站牌。可以在觀光案內買巴士四日券3500日圓。
也是Koji San 留言建議我在到車站後，先到觀光處拿資料。
我非常開心可以住在這麼純日式有80年老房子，每天傍晚七點，疲憊的身子回到家，客廳迎接我的是昭和時代的歌嗎？整個房子的氛圍就是要你體驗古日本風。但是裝飾又是偏藏密，但不違和。
我自己煮晚餐，Koji San…

静かで、落ち着く。ゆっくり出来ました。オーナーさんがとても愛想も良く親切でした。
(人によっては)少し埃っぽい。ティッシュがあれば嬉しかった。

雰囲気抜群
オーナーさんがとても親切でした。駐車場もすぐ隣にあました。近くに飲食店や駅、コンビニなども近く便利でした。宿の雰囲気はとても良く、建物は古いですが清潔に保たれてました。
