Traditional Japanese life with sea view Masunoya

Accommodation limited to 1 group per day This is a private house where you can experience old life in an old house. You can spend a relaxing time with the sea right in front of you. Kumano Kodo Miki Pass, Hago Pass and Hobo pass are nearby. The space Since it's a rural town, it's convenient to have a car. If you want to walk the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route lightly, you can park your car at each station, so you can take the train there and walk back, and walk along the various Kumano Kodo trails to your heart's content. A one-hour drive south you can visit Nachi Falls, Kumano Taisha Shrine, and various hot springs. To the north is Ise Jingu Shrine. Walking along the seaside in front of the rising sun is a wonderful experience. At night, you can see many stars. In the summer, the Milky Way is spectacular. This is a town known for its delicious sashimi. You can also find delicious sashimi at supermarkets in Owase. This is a purely Japanese-style house built 76 years ago. It has a gabled roof, a traditional roof shape in Japanese architecture that is often seen in castles, shrines, and temples, and much of the woodwork from that time still remains inside the house. And the magnificent Shinto altar is truly a sight to behold. No major renovations have been made, so you can experience traditional Japanese life, but it is by no means a convenient life. There are many stairs inside the house, and the toilet and bathroom are located in the covered exterior area(There is a roof.) Despite these inconveniences, We would be happy if you could feel the comfort of this inconvenient lifestyle that still exists today as well as in the past. There are two bedrooms. There is a kitchen where you can prepare general meals. There are no supermarkets or restaurants nearby, so we recommend that you do your shopping in advance. The toilets are simple flush toilets (renovated in 2024). There is a parking lot just a minute's walk away. You can park one car for free. ■Recommended Activities■ [Kumano Kodo Hiking] 1.
