Cottages in Tanabe

It was very clean and everything you need along the Kumano Kodo route was provided.

Giovanni and Yutaka, the hosts and owners were very thoughtful and accommodating. We rode on his truck going to their farm where their goats are and it was super fun! The meals prepared by Giovanni, featuring his award-winning goat cheese, are very artfully prepared and served, not to mention very delicious!

We felt well taken care of. The host was exceptional. What didn't you like? My brother liked the kotatsu

It was very close to the train station. The hostess also had a number of Japanese artifacts on display which were beautiful. She also provided many snack and drink options which were appreciated since we arrived late after the stores closed.

Spic and span. Great view of the river and mountain.

From the booking process until our stay, everything was handled very well. Communication was excellent, including the free pick-up service from Kumano Hongu Taisha, the ride to the supermarket for groceries, and the clear explanation about the beautiful and clean cottage. After walking for 11 hours from Chikatsuyu, we truly found a wonderful and comfortable place to rest in this cottage. The facilities were very complete, and Tak’s hospitality was exceptional. The next morning, we were picked up right on time and dropped off back at Kumano Hongu Taisha, which made our journey even more convenient and stress-free. Highly recommended, and we will definitely stay here again in the future.

enjoyed reading through your architectural tips! We are also incredibly grateful for the delicious meals you prepared—we were well fed and well cared for. It has been a pleasure meeting you, and we look forward to seeing you again!

The property was spacious and clean. The property gave us snacks and drinks which were very delicious and thoughtful. The owner was so friendly and went through the whole house with us. It was the most pleasant experience on Kumano Kodo.

Very comfortable home with everything we needed and added amenities like tea/milk and kimonos with an amazing garden and view out front. Plus incredible meals and the most accommodating hosts

Ugh! What a lovely experience! Quiet, unique, and the host is kind, caring, and the food was delicious! And the driver to the trail was a huge help! Totally different than a hotel and a great experience!
