Self Catering Accommodation in Shingu

A whole house to ourselves. Large space, everything you needed is equipped and provided. The location is strategic, just 2 minutes walk from/to bus stop. Room is spacious and clean, warm and cozy. Bed is comfortable as well. Host is nice and responsive. Alot snacks and drinks provided which really warm our hearts. Recommended this, good value for money.

The guesthouse is conveniently located near Kumano Hayatama Taisha and the bus stop, making it an excellent base for exploring the area. The house is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything you might need during your stay. The owner is exceptionally kind and went above and beyond to assist me when I had an accident, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely recommend this guesthouse to anyone visiting the area.

The location was great, the host was super nice. It has a fully functionning kitchen

Staying in an old-school Japanese house was a great experience for a foreigner like myself. The house is equipped with everything you need, including a stove, pan, utensils, microwave, fridge, and a small oven. The location is also very convenient—there’s a supermarket just a five-minute walk away, and a bus stop only two minutes away. The bus takes you directly to many famous attractions, including the three well-known shrines, which is especially helpful on rainy days when you don’t want to walk far after getting off the bus. While the cleanliness isn’t at a “hotel” level (as it’s not a hotel), the owner was very responsive to any issues I had. On the first night, I realized that the air conditioner wasn’t working, which was frustrating given that it was 30 degrees inside. However, after I contacted the owner, they came the next day to check the AC. I didn’t expect it to be fixed immediately, but to my surprise, the owner brought and installed a portable air conditioner while I was out sightseeing. I came back to a “new” AC! Overall, I had a pleasant three-day stay.

The house felt like a home with every amenity you could need and more. The beds were very comfortable!

Very new, very clean Close to family mart

When choosing this house, my friend and I were initially concerned that it might be difficult to reach it by public transport. However, this concern turned out to be unnecessary. Staying in this house was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. The location and the condition of the property were excellent. We easily took a bus from the train station to the Daimonzaka bus stop, which is only about a 5-minute walk from the house. The house is situated in a very picturesque area near the forest. It is especially quiet at night, which creates a relaxing atmosphere. Falling asleep to the sounds of cicadas and other forest dwellers is the greatest pleasure, something a city person rarely experiences. The house itself is built in a traditional Japanese style and is filled with this unique atmosphere throughout. It is exceptionally clean, with everything perfectly maintained and well cared for. Check-in was smooth, and we were able to access the house easily by following the provided instructions. The property is very well equipped and thought out to the smallest detail. It provides all necessary appliances, kitchenware, and even toiletries that might be needed during the stay. We are particularly grateful to the host, who prepared bottled water and some food supplies for the guests. Since there are no shops nearby, it is important to buy groceries in advance at the station. We had purchased some food ourselves, but as we do not read Japanese, we chose the wrong flavor and could not eat it. The ramen left by the host was very helpful in this situation, and we sincerely appreciated it. The house is located just a 5-minute walk from the Daimonzaka staircase, which is one of the main sections of the famous Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route leading to the three Kumano Sanzan shrines. Near the staircase, there is also a small shop offering traditional pilgrim costume rentals. Spending two nights in this amazing house was a truly special experience.

The house was spotless and had all the necessary amenities for a very comfortable stay. We loved that it’s a fusion of traditional Japanese and modern interior decor. Looks like it has just been done up. All the appliances look new. Our host is a lovely lady who showered our child and us with omiage and treats. Wish we could stay longer!
