SEN.RETREAT was created as a lodging brand where travelers walking the Kumano Kodo can stay with peace of mind as they journey from one place to the next. SEN.RETREAT TAKIJIRI is located near Takijiri-oji, the gateway to the Nakahechi Route of the Kumano Kodo. It is an ideal place to prepare both mentally and physically for the steep ascent that begins from Takijiri-oji. Another location within the same brand, SEN.RETREAT CHIKATSUYU, is approximately 16 kilometers away. By combining your stay here with accommodations around the Chikatsuyu area, you can enjoy an even more comfortable and well-paced journey. About SEN.RETREAT SEN.RETREAT is committed to addressing regional challenges such as population decline and the shortage of successors for local accommodations in rural communities. Our goal is to protect the environment that allows people to continue walking the Kumano Kodo for generations to come. For this reason, our properties are operated sustainably as unmanned accommodations without on-site reception or resident staff. Together with team members from various regions, we strive to provide a comfortable stay while helping pass on the legacy of the Kumano Kodo to the future. About SEN.RETREAT TAKIJIRI SEN.RETREAT TAKIJIRI was established in 2025 after witnessing many travelers take early-morning buses from Kii-Tanabe Station to reach Takijiri-oji, inspiring a strong desire to better support pilgrims on their journey. We offer two accommodation options: Entire House Rental Plan A private rental of the entire property for groups of 6 up to a maximum of 16 guests. Private Room Plan Four private rooms are available, each reserved for one group. This plan accommodates 2 to 4 guests per group. Shared spaces such as the living area and laundry facilities are used in common with other guests. Please note that pricing, meal options, and services vary depending on the plan. For details, please refer to the accommodation information page.
