Lovely guesthouse with fantastic food! Great aircon and lovely porch out front to enjoy a beer and fresh air after a hike. Very much appreciated the car lift to the bus stop for our day 3 hike.

Old renovated house and good meal. However quite rigid on the conditions and schedules.We asked if it was possible to cancel 4 days before and in the first refusal message (which I understand because we had passed the cancellation date) we were reminded that in the event of non-payment there would be legal action…In the end, an average experience and above all quite expensive for the quality of the place.

Excellent experience, without a doubt the best accommodation of the entire trip. Kumi-san is the perfect host, and she also gives you all kinds of advice for the journey. To highlight, the dinner was spectacular, and the plum wine that she makes herself. 7/7 I would choose it again.

Less hotel and more like having Kumi-san adopt you for the night - where she feeds you and cares for you so you are ready for the rigours of the Kumano Kodo the next day! Highly recommend

This is absolutely the best guest house experience we’ve had. Kumi is an amazing hostess. Everything is clean and in order. The food and the packed lunch are simply amazing! Her experience with the Kumano Kodo trail is very helpful and reassuring (so we are comfortable with are 21km walk to Hongu Taisha and know what to expect!). I recommend this guest house to anyone who wants to stay in Tsugizakura. The guest house is right next to the Kumano Kodo trail to Hongu Taisha, a very good starting point for the next day walk. You will have a unique and unforgettable experience. Maybe you get to pet Haru the goat.
