    An ancient house with a quiet environment. At night, you can clearly hear the sound of trains and the faint sound of waves, which is very relaxing! The owner respects guests very much and gives them complete space for activities.

    Very comfortable stay in a beautiful traditional Japanese house that’s been fully renovated for inside. The location is perfect for Kumano Kodo Iseji and is right next to a beautiful shrine and close proximity to hiking trailheads.

    建物内の雰囲気が古風な感じでとてもよく、お部屋も綺麗でどこか懐かしい雰囲気を感じられました。お風呂も広く綺麗でしたし、共用部も自由に使わせていただくことができました。 最寄り駅からも徒歩10分ほどで、鉄道でのアクセスも良かったです。 夕食は近くのおすすめのお店を教えていただき、そこも大当たりで地ものを堪能できました。

    日本家屋の雰囲気を存分に感じることが出来て前に住んでおられた方が使っていた棚や引出し、掛け軸や額の絵の説明を聞くとすごい貴重な家に宿泊できてる気がしていい。水回りら辺も新しくきれいで清潔でした。
