    Great stay in an incredibly well equiped cabin. It is expensive but quite luxurious after a day of hiking the Kumano Kodo. Only downside is the check in, which is difficult and kind of unclear.
  • Robbie
    Australia Australia
    Clean and comfortable accommodation in a convenient location (close to supermarket and bakery). Nice little touches with craft beer and juices in fridge. It had all of the things you needed after a hike.
