Recent accommodations often focus on being "Instagrammable," looking great in photos but sometimes falling short in reality. However, this accommodation, while the building itself shows signs of aging, is impeccably clean and offers a very comfortable stay.The bath includes a private open-air hot spring with flowing water, offering breathtaking views of the vast ocean from a scenic cape. During my stay, it was a full moon, and I enjoyed an unforgettable moment under the moonlight accompanied by the sounds of nature.Meals are seafood-focused! Breakfast features marinated tuna rice bowls. The half-buffet style allows you to adjust portions to your appetite. Even the pickles reflect the chef's dedication to quality—everything was absolutely delicious.The evening stargazing session was unexpectedly enjoyable with detailed explanations provided by staff. The staff members were incredibly kind and attentive, making every aspect of my stay satisfying.Thanks to their support, I managed to visit Nachi Taisha Shrine and Nachi Falls despite having limited time. Thank you very much!This accommodation is highly recommended for those who value authenticity over superficial appeal.

The staff were very kind and pleasant. I would love to visit again. The Kumano beef for dinner was surprisingly small, but the buffet had plenty of other options, so I left feeling full. The drinkable yogurt sold at the shop was incredibly delicious. The next day, I joined a tour to walk the Kumano Kodo trail. Since there were no other participants, I could listen closely to the guide's stories and had a wonderful experience.
