An inn where the history and traditions of the Kumano Kodo come alive

Welcome to the profound world of Kumano Kodo (Ohechi route), a road steeped in ancient Japanese tradition and history.

Our inn is part of the beautiful Kumano Kodo (Ohchi route), where you can experience a glimpse of its mysterious flavor. The Oheji is a 92-km road that has been used for the traditional Kumano pilgrimage since ancient times in Japan. It has been visited by pilgrims since ancient times and has been loved by many people as a place to quietly face nature.

Especially during the Edo period (1603-1867), the scenic beauty of Ohenoji attracted many tourists, and many people chose this route for their pilgrimage. The same scenery still remains everywhere today, and Ohobeji is deeply engraved in the hearts of visitors as a place where history and nature are in beautiful harmony, and where they can travel to heal their souls.

The inn has served as a boathouse for ferry boats since ancient times, transporting many people and providing them with a place to relax while waiting for the boats. The ferry boats are a part of the Kumano Kodo, and the inn is a building that has inherited its history.

The history and the warm atmosphere of our inn will allow you to enjoy a comfortable space that maximizes the charm of the Kumano Kodo.

At our inn, you will experience the history and traditions of the Kumano Kodo, and enjoy a memorable travel experience. The good old Japanese atmosphere and the mysterious world of the Kumano Kodo Road await you.
