This 140 year old traditional Japanese house is beautiful and private. Shino is an incredible host, and the food she prepared for us during our walk on the Kumano Kodo was delicious. She even arranged for a driver to pick us up and take us back to the trail in Takahara in the morning, which we were very grateful for. We were lucky enough to stay at her other guest house, Kumanoyasai Base, in Chikatsuyu the next night, so we got to enjoy two days of her food, hospitality, and humor. Highly recommend staying at both of these places! Thank you, Shino!

Shino is just a genius. Wonderful host and the house not only is 140 years old and will take you back in time but also has everything that you possibly need for your stay. Really great place. Definitely worth the detour 🙏

The host Shino prepared a good bento dinner for us. Next morning, we had a breakfast set and also a lunch box for our hike. The house is about 140 years old but have enough amenities to make it comfortable. There is also a washing machine. However, do note there is no tooth brush or yukata. Bring those along if you are planning to stay here. This is not along the Kumano Kodo route, and there is a steep climb down, which takes about 30-40 mins. Similarly, it is a steep climb up to re-join the route. It will be an issue if you are tired and will need to make this diversion to get to this Minsuku in the afternoon after your hike.

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying for one night in this charming Japanese house while we were hiking the Kumano Kodo. This traditional Japanese home, with its rich history of over 140 years, instantly transports you.Despite its age, the house has been thoughtfully updated, particularly the bathroom which features a wonderful deep bathtub. After a strenuous day on the first leg of our hike, indulging in the hot bath was an absolute treat.We can't express enough gratitude to our hostess, Shino, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable! She helped us arrange baggage service to our next accommodation, which was a lifesaver. We quickly realized that we had overpacked and wouldn't be able to continue the journey carrying our heavy bags. Shino's assistance was invaluable.It's important to note that the house is situated about 2 miles from the Kumano Kodo trail at Takahara, and there's a descent of 700 feet into the valley below. While this might be a bit challenging, especially after hiking from trails start, the experience and hospitality at this home make it well worth the effort!We will definitely be back!

My wife and I stayed one night here while doing the Kumano Kodo. Traditional Japanese home 150 years old. Shino, the hostess, was amazing. Her english was really good and helped settled in and made us feel at home. She is a great cook too and dinner and breakfast were delicious. Just note that the house is a about 2 miles from the Kumano Kodo trail at Takahara with 700ft of descent into the valley below. You need to make those 2 miles and 700 ft back to the trail unless you catch a ride.
