What is a Guesthouse?
A guesthouse is a style of accommodation often created by renovating an old house or using a small building. It is different from a traditional Japanese ryokan, which offers private rooms with full service including meals and bedding, and also different from a minpaku (private vacation rental), where guests rent an entire house. A guesthouse is closer in spirit to a youth hostel, where travelers share spaces such as the living room and bathroom, and the highlight is the chance to connect with other guests and the host in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
About Our Guesthouse
Our guesthouse is a small, renovated traditional house with a warm, at-home feel. The toilet, bathroom, and dining area are shared, creating a cozy environment where guests naturally interact. We also provide dinner, breakfast, and lunch boxes, so you can enjoy homemade meals while sharing travel stories at the table. We do not offer the luxury of a ryokan or resort, but we hope to be a place where you can truly relax during your Kumano Kodo journey and enjoy meaningful encounters with people along the way.
