The mystical power spot "Kumano Kodo," registered as a Natural World Heritage Site.
Among its routes, the Nakahechi – the official pilgrimage road for the "Kumano Gyoko," repeated over 100 times by the imperial family and nobles –
quietly stands "Kumano Kodo Kominka-ryo HAGI."
The owner, captivated by the Kumano Kodo, undertook a major renovation of this traditional kominka and opened the guesthouse.
The rooms retain a nostalgic atmosphere,
while the bathrooms have been fully updated with modern facilities. You'll enjoy a comfortable and relaxing stay.
We offer the healing hot springs of Hongu Onsen, beloved since ancient times, hidden secret baths known only to those in the know,
and meals featuring fresh local vegetables and meat.
Come and enjoy healing moments with warm conversation.
