Situated 23 km from Kumanoshi Kiwakozan Museum in Shingu, Koguchi Village by WhyKumano features accommodation with air conditioning and free WiFi.

A buffet breakfast is available at the lodge.

Kamikura Shrine is 25 km from Koguchi Village by WhyKumano, while Kumano Hayatama Taisha is 26 km from the property. Nanki–Shirahama Airport is 80 km away. This is a great place to stay in Koguchi. The beds are comfortable and the common area fosters good ways to meet other travelers on the Kumano Kodo. It’s also right on the trail. When you stay here, you’ll get both dinner and breakfast, which are both delicious! Bon was a fantastic and friendly hostel host! I definitely recommend staying at both this place and the WhyKumano hostel in Nachi Katsuura.

The lodge is equipped with a flat-screen TV. The kitchen is fitted with a fridge, an oven and a microwave and there is bidet with free toiletries and a hairdryer.

Seigantoji Temple is 12 km from the lodge, while Taiji Municipal Stone Wall Memorial Hall is 16 km from the property. Nanki–Shirahama Airport is 88 km away. We are experienced travellers and our stay in the cottage was by far one of our favourite things we’ve ever done. We decided to book it for 2 nights at the end of our Kumano Kodo walk, and we’re so glad we did. We spent our entire time there without leaving the cottage, it was so beautiful. First of all, the cottage: This is a beautifully constructed cabin, with an incredible view and was very comfortable. A dream setting. We had the place to ourselves, even though the photos on the Booking website made it seem like we’d have the owners living next door or something, but that wasn’t the case. We had all the necessary appliances to make food, and the rice cooker was fantastic. We cooked rice there that Katsuro grows himself. The movement of the sun, shadows, haze and clouds throughout the day, made for an incredible natural show that never got boring. The starry nights were beautiful, supplemented with the flash of light from a distant lighthouse. The whole experience even led to us getting engaged on the balcony! The host: A truly exceptional human being. The Japanese are known for being welcoming and friendly, and Katsuro (Ura) is the embodiment of all those great things that you hear about Japanese hospitality. He is warm, friendly, interesting, talented, and is genuinely interested in learning about his guests. He’s a former fireman, who now works in the fields as a farmer. We had several conversations with Ura and wish we could have had many more. Ura gave us delicious blueberry jam, some very nice persimmons, and the rice from his fields was lovely. In addition to all of that, Ura picked us up from Nachi Falls at the end of our long walk, took us to the supermarket, and made all the logistical elements of getting to the property so easy for us. Finally, on our last morning there, we were taken to the shrines where Ura used to go as a child and it was such an honour. What an amazing person Ura is. We feel very lucky that he shared his paradise with us. ありがとう。

Taraichitei, a property with a garden, is located in Takashima, 28 km from Kehi Jingu Shrine, 34 km from Omimaiko Beach, as well as 40 km from Obama Station. This lodge provides free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. It is an old style house, so as long as you aren't expecting Western/modern comforts, it's fantastic! My daughter called it the Totoro house. You will sleep on Japanese futons that you lay out on the tatami mats - if you've never slept on a futon it might feel uncomfortable/hard compared to Western beds. You will eat sitting on the tatami mats, but there are a couple of small Western chairs if sitting on the floor is difficut. The bathroom is Japanese style with the toilet in one section, the sink/vanity in a second section and the shower with separate furo (deep bathtub for soaking after washing in the shower) in the third section. It was not the most modern but all clean and more spacious than the Western hotel bathrooms we had other parts of Japan! There is a TV, wifi worked great and a bluetooth speaker to play music. There aren't a lot of "tourist" attractions nearby but it you want serenity this hits the spot - a few steps away has you walking among farming fields and the house is also close to the forest with a little stream running along side the road making for a peaceful but easy walk up the mountain. The gohan (rice) cooked in the old style stove was the best we ate our entire trip! Wish we had bought some of the local rice. It can get a little smoky when dinner is being cooked but my mild asthma was fine. The host, Hiro, is amazing, super accomodating and friendly, he introduced us to his shiba inu (dog) and his duck, and even though we didn't ask ahead, he prepped for us to make tofu - this experience was an extra fee but totally worth it! During the winter you can also request mochitsuki (pounding rice into mochi) and summer/fall you can make noodles (can't remember if he said soba, ramen or udon). Hiro's English is limited, but he's so engaging, we asked him to eat dinner with us and my daughter loved that...he has such good energy!

Situated in Hashimoto, Yadori Onsen Iyashinoyu features free WiFi, and guests can enjoy a shared lounge, a terrace and a restaurant.

At the lodge guests are welcome to take advantage of a hot spring bath. The Onsen! It had private hours for inn guests. I also appreciated the clean, modern cabin. Yusuke and the whole staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, even offering a shuttle to and from Koyasan twice per day. Beautiful valley. there is a bridge that allows you to get down to the rivers edge to enjoy the water.

Situated 3.3 km from Shionomisaki Shrine, Fukurou features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

Kushimoto Turkish Memorial and Museum is 12 km from the lodge, while Taiji Municipal Stone Wall Memorial Hall is 29 km from the property. Nanki–Shirahama Airport is 55 km away. I really enjoyed the private access Onsen, available to sign up once a day. Perfect after biking around Kushimoto all day—I rented one of their electric assist bikes which made going up and down the local hills easier. Complete with helmet and cell phone holder. The room was very spacious and comfortable.
