The annex room we got is cosy and has two toilets! Not too far from the main road and has easy access to the bus stops and village centre.

ハピネスちかつゆThis B&B is divided into a main building and an annex. The attached picture is of the annex. It should have been newly built and renovated soon. The equipment is very new and clean, making it very comfortable to stay. I recommend friends who walk the Kumano Kodo to stay there.

We loved it here! We were welcomed by a sweet lady and later her husband brought us a delicious and home made food. The garden and the house were very comfortable and cozy, with relaxing windows on the beautiful trees. We slept and recovered from one of the longest trails in Kumano kodo. We wish we stayed one more day to enjoy the space and get to know the lovely hosts more!Will definitely come back!

(Information as of May 2022)Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there were no foreign guests, so I stayed alone in a large house. The garden is large and it feels like a villa.The building is new, clean and comfortable.The interior of the room is decorated to give foreigners a sense of Japan.This area is located right in the middle of the Nakahechi Route of Kumano Kodo, and there are many accommodation facilities, but I think you can enjoy a relaxing holiday in a really quiet area.For dinner, a bento box will be brought to you by a nearby restaurant. There was a wide variety of food and it was delicious.Breakfast the next morning will be served at a nearby restaurant. It's a few minutes walk.
