Step Into Ancient Spirits and Nature: Kumano
Nestled in the heart of Yoshino-Kumano
National Park, Kumano is a hidden treasure
surrounded by lush nature and ancient history.
At the core of this sacred land lies
Hana no Iwaya, Japan's oldest shrine,
which is even mentioned in the Nihon Shoki,
Japan's oldest historical chronicle.
The shrine features a massive
45-meter rock that serves as
the object of worship and is steeped
in ancient mythology.
Our guesthouse is located just a
one-minute walk from the World Heritage site
Hananoiwaya Shrine and the beautiful coastline
of Shichiri-Mihama, offering direct access
to the charms of Kumano.
With convenient access to all routes of
the Kumano Kodo Iseji pilgrimage trail,
you can easily experience these historic paths.
A Traditional House in the Sacred Land of Kumano
Our guesthouse is a renovated
traditional Japanese house where you can
fully experience
the charms of Kumano,
where mythology and nature intersect.
One of the highlights of
staying at our guesthouse is
the opportunity to connect
with fellow travelers,
exchange travel tips,
and share stories about
Kumano's hidden gems.
We offer an authentic
lodging experience
that
allows you to immerse
yourself in the local
culture and
traditions
of old Japan.
What is a Guesthouse?
A guesthouse offers a more personal and intimate experience compared to a hotel.
While the facilities are simple, the warm, home-like atmosphere and the chance to interact with other guests and the host create a unique and memorable stay.
Room rates / Reservation
All guest rooms are calm and
comfortable Japanese-style rooms.
We offer three rooms,
each with a different layout
and atmosphere.
