Myoho Mountain Cottage

This is my second stay for 2 nights and 3 days.On the second day, I stopped going out and spent the whole day relaxing and enjoying the view from the wooden deck.I was told that I could see the lights of Kashinosaki Lighthouse (Japan's first stone lighthouse) about 20km away, so I looked at it.

Seriously, it was really great! !The owner was very polite and carefully explained anything I didn't understand, so I was able to stay without any worries! !If you like Ghibli, you'll definitely fall in love with this inn! ! lolThe location is great! ! I'm impressed! It's soothing...Thank you for preparing Nagashi Somen as a surprise 🙇‍♀️❤️I was impressed! ! The homemade blueberry jam is also excellent, and there are plenty of amenities without any inconvenience. Next time, I would like to stay for a long time!

Mr. Ura is a former firefighter but now is one of the kindest hosts I’ve ever stayed with.His lodge is located in a beautiful part of the country with a beautiful view of nature.I can’t think of a better way to enjoy the Japanese Wakayama landscape than staying here.

Warm welcoming by the host, scenic view, and fantastic taste of homemade products.

Incredible!! The accommodation and the environment are amazing. The owner is charming. He picked us up in Nachi, took us shopping at a supermarket and took us home. It is quite secluded in the mountains, which has its good points and its bad points. We loved it. The house itself is perfectly prepared for everything you may need. Full kitchen and bathroom. The owner makes his own blueberry jam and grows his own rice and Japanese tea. All of very good quality. He doesn't speak much English but he puts in a lot of effort. The only thing is that there is a washing machine but no dryer, to take this into account. The terrace is also very nice, and all the decoration is very homely. 100% recommended!

The owner is really nice and welcoming. It’s a really relaxing cottage with a fireplace and a lovely view. We like cooking and the facilities made it so easy. We drove there at night in the rain and it’s quite windy so be careful!

Our stay in the cottage was by far one of our favourite things we’ve ever done. We decided to book it for 2 nights at the end of our Kumano Kodo walk, and we’re so glad we did. We spent our entire time there without leaving the cottage, it was so beautiful.First of all, the cottage: This is a beautifully constructed cabin, with an incredible view and was very comfortable. A dream setting. We had the place to ourselves, even though the photos on the Booking website made it seem like we’d have the owners living next door or something, but that wasn’t the case. We had all the necessary appliances to make food, and the rice cooker was fantastic. We cooked rice there that Katsuro grows himself. The movement of the sun, shadows, haze and clouds throughout the day, made for an incredible natural show that never got boring. The starry nights were beautiful, supplemented with the flash of light from a distant lighthouse.The host: A truly exceptional human being. The Japanese are known for being welcoming and friendly, and Katsuro (Ura) is the embodiment of all those great things that you hear about Japanese hospitality. He is warm, friendly, interesting, talented, and is genuinely interested in learning about his guests. He’s a former fireman, who now works in the fields as a farmer. We had several conversations with Ura and wish we could have had many more. Ura gave us delicious blueberry jam, some very nice persimmons, and the rice from his fields was lovely. In addition to all of that, Ura picked us up from Nachi Falls at the end of our long walk, took us to the supermarket, and made all the logistical elements of getting to the property so easy for us. Finally, on our last morning there, we were taken to the shrines where Ura used to go as a child and it was such an honour. What an amazing person Ura is. We feel very lucky that he shared his paradise with us. ありがとう。

The view is so wonderful, we sit in the front deck, see the mountains, gorgeous! The owner’s hospitality is the best we have ever experienced in Japan. This cottage is highly recommended! We do come back again in our future trips.
