excellent property in the middle of Kumano Kodo. We were lucky to have a housing there. The place was spacious and had 3 separate rooms, each can have 2-3 beds. Had kitchen, dishes, and everything. Japanese traditional style house with a big garden.

Property info

We founded “SEN.” as a place where travelers walking the sacred Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail can stay with peace of mind. SEN.HAVEN is a simple and functional lodging designed to ensure pilgrims along the Kumano Kodo can rest well and take confident steps toward the next day’s journey. “SEN.” is committed to addressing regional challenges such as population decline and a shortage of successors for local accommodations in each village. Our mission is to help preserve the environment and culture that allow people to walk the Kumano Kodo for generations to come. Therefore, we operate sustainably as an unmanned accommodation without on-site reception or staff. Together with staff from various local communities, we are dedicated to creating a comfortable stay for all guests while helping pass down the legacy of the Kumano Kodo to the future. SEN.HAVEN NAKAMURA is located exactly midway between the Kogumotori Pass and the Ogumotori Pass, which connect Kumano Hongu Taisha and Kumano Nachi Taisha. The quiet former village of Koguchi, surrounded by clear mountain streams, has long been an important post town where pilgrims rested along their journey. Alongside its sister property, SEN.HAVEN SAKURAI, SEN.HAVEN NAKAMURA supports travelers staying in the Koguchi area. ■ Whole-house Rental Plan Accommodates from 2 up to 9 guests, offering exclusive use of the entire building. Dinner: Local bento meal Breakfast: Bread and butter Optional Lunch: If you would like a trekking bento, please let us know after booking. Prices, meal services, and available options vary by plan. For more details, please check the accommodation information page.

Neighborhood info

Surrounding Nature: The former village of Oguchi is surrounded by deep forests and crystal-clear rivers. To help preserve the river environment, BBQ and fireworks along the river are strictly prohibited. Minakata Shop: A small local shop selling bread, cup noodles, and some daily necessities.
