"We are very grateful for this beautiful place. We were looking for somewhere where we could spend quality time together as a family and bring our little dog, and thanks to this place, we were able to enjoy a wonderful, peaceful, and relaxing time together. The place is very peaceful and surrounded by nature, which is exactly what we were looking for. We also met another guest who brought their dog, and it was lovely to see them enjoying the place too. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to...

Top Nakahechi Hotel Reviews

Hotel Kii Tanabe

8/10 Good

"The hotel is well located within a short walk to Kii Tanabe station. I didn't notice that many restaurants or shops around it though (but this may be the case in quiet Kii Tanabe). There are also oranges at the reception. I liked it (except for a small incident)."

Grand Mercure Wakayama Minabe Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed there for 3 nights and were very happy with our choice. You must have a car and its location is not that convenient. But in exchange we got fantastic value to stay in a comfortable resort with excellent breakfast and dinner buffet and onsen facility. The room was large and clean though a little outdated. The evening lounge area also provides free snacks and drinks. We enjoyed having such a comfortable base for exploring the area."

Hotel Sanrakuso

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Sanrakuso was comfortable and relaxing. From arrival to departure the staff was friendly and courteous. Our Japanese Western style room was clean, comfortable and had all the modern comforts that anyone would need. The outdoor in-room furo bath was large and had a great view overlooking the Shirarahama beach front area. The meals (breakfast and dinner) were delicious and nicely presented. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a centrally located upscale hotel in the Nanki Shirahama area."

Kisyu Shirahama Onsen Musashi

8/10 Good

"This was a really cool retro/traditional hotel. While very well maintained, the ambience is something out of the 1970s. The traditional room with tatami mat flooring and the sliding doors with rice paper were so lovely. I enjoyed sleeping on the futon, which the staff comes and lays out for you in the evening. Beach access to Shirahama beach is almost perfect. The sea view room did not disappoint for views. The breakfast and supper buffets were the most diverse and wonderful I have ever experienced. They can get very busy and chaotic, however. The staff were.soooo helpful. The baths were very nice and I did not experience any busy-ness in them. Overall, a great and super unique experience!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Nakahechi?

The best area to stay in Nakahechi is around the main Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route, specifically in the villages of Takijiri-oji and Chikatsuyu-oji. These locations offer convenient access to the trail and provide a genuine experience of the region.

Takijiri-oji is the traditional starting point for the Nakahechi route. Staying here allows you to begin your pilgrimage early in the morning, often directly from your accommodation. The village is small, with a few guesthouses and a visitor centre. It's ideal for solo travellers or couples who want to start their trek with ease and connect with other pilgrims.

Chikatsuyu-oji, further along the Nakahechi route, is another excellent choice, particularly for those looking for a mid-point stop with more amenities. This village is larger than Takijiri-oji and offers a greater selection of guesthouses, small restaurants, and basic shops. It's a good fit for couples who appreciate having more dining options after a day of walking, while still being directly on the pilgrimage path.

When is the best time to go to Nakahechi?

The best times to go to Nakahechi are during the spring (late March to May) and autumn (late September to November) months.

Spring offers mild temperatures, making it ideal for walking the ancient pilgrimage trails without the discomfort of heat or cold. You'll also see the landscape come alive with new growth. This season is particularly good for those seeking a tranquil and reflective journey, as the weather is generally settled and pleasant.

Autumn provides cooler, crisp weather and the stunning display of changing leaves, known as koyo. The vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows of the trees along the Kumano Kodo trails create a truly scenic backdrop for your walks.
