We loved this Guest House in a rural area close to Tanabe with a beautiful view of sea. The hosts Giovanni and Yakata were both very warm and welcoming. Giovanni cooked a fabulous 5 course Italian style meal for dinner and a lovely breakfast next morning. Our room was spacious and comfortable and we enjoyed the interaction with the hosts and other guests. We ordered the pickup and drop off which worked very smoothly.

We had unique experience there. Giovanni and Utaka are very nice and friendly people. They picked us up at the train station with a car which helped a lot. Food was amazing. Giovanni also showed us a goat farm which was very lovely. We recommend this place 100%, you won’t regret it.

What I liked may be what you won’t: this place is aging. Like rural Japan, it’s has remained almost unchanged since the bubble burst in 1990ish and so, this is time travel in another era, the Showa era when Japan was booming. Long, odd tunnels that connect onsens and 4 buildings built atop a rocky island, man, this is Sean Connery’s James Bond material. Our view over the ocean was spectacular and for that alone, I would have stayed longer. Not to expensive either.

Our host Manabu is very hospitable, and ensures everything is going well for your visit. We enjoyed the location, 10 .minutes walk to fabulous onsen, quiet rural village. There is a small minimalist for groceries, Okagesan yakitoria run by Manabu san, and the cafe at the onsen for meals.

The owners are super lovely and very welcoming. The optional food is very tasty - we loved the appetisers, homemade pasta and dessert. The farm has a nice view and having turkeys and goats nearby seemed really cute.

Overall, it was a decent stay for the price. Lady that met us was friendly and helpful - provided maps, bus schedules, tips, and nearby restaurant recommendations. Facility was rustic, and we were the only guest that stayed the night so that was a plus. Close to Kii Tanabe Station and just 15 minute walk to the waterfront (Ogigahama Park) for a beautiful sunset.

The guesthouse was located in a beautiful location on one of the Komano Kodo trails. The host was kind enough to pick us up in Tanabe and then drop us off at the start of the Nakahechi route early the next day. The home is a restored historic Japanese farmhouse so, if you want an experience that goes back in time, this ones' for you. Plums are grown in the area and the host was gracious enough to share their homemade umeboshi liquor with us.

It is an old farm house. Both hosts are very helpful.

the location, the helpfulness of Giovanni and Yutaka. We loved their enthusiasm for their rural farm life and kai using their produce. Yum. Giovanni took us to our start point on the Kumano Kodo too. Brilliant.
