"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.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival.
