3-Night Kumano Kodo Package – Dinner & Breakfast

KUMANO KODO NAKAHECHI

3-Night Kumano Kodo Package – Dinner & Breakfast

Dinner & Breakfast · Entire House

Walk from Takijiri to Kumano Hongu Taisha – the first half of the Nakahechi route – without changing inns. With Komorian as your base for three nights, there are no early buses to catch and no packing every morning, and you can adjust your walking plan to the weather and how you feel.

The whole house is yours, with home-cooked dinner and breakfast.

Walking from Takijiri to Kumano Hongu Taisha is one of the routes that count toward the Dual Pilgrim program – many of our guests have completed it while staying at Komorian.

🥗 Dietary restrictions

We can prepare regular, pescatarian, and lacto-ovo vegetarian meals.

• Gluten-free, egg-free, and vegan meals are not available.

Ingredients we can remove if you tell us when booking (broth made from them is removed too):

• Meat: beef, pork
• Seafood: fish, raw fish (sashimi), shellfish, shrimp, clams and other bivalves

If two or more restrictions are combined, or if too many different menus are needed for your group, we may not be able to accommodate your request.

Please note: Japan is a country where people “eat everything”, so our regular menu is the most varied and flexible one.

Your reason for a dietary request can be religious, personal preference, or physical – any is fine. Please note, however, that cross-contamination cannot be fully avoided, so we cannot host guests with severe allergies.

🍙 Lunchbox

In this package, you only need a lunch box on DAY 3, when you walk from Chikatsuyu / Nonaka to Hosshinmon-oji. Lunch box available on request (1,000 JPY).

🧳 Luggage

Check-in day: Since you will be hiking from Takijiri to Takahara, please arrange a same-day luggage transfer from the Kii-Tanabe area to Komorian.

Check-out day: If your next inn is in the Hongu area (Hongu, Yunomine, Wataze or Kawayu), we will deliver your luggage there for free. For other areas, please book one of the services below.

Going back to Kii-Tanabe instead of staying in Hongu?

If you’re taking the bus back to Kii-Tanabe after reaching Hongu, we can send your luggage from Komorian to a luggage storage shop in Kii-Tanabe, so you can pick it up before taking the train at Kii-Tanabe Station. The fee is the same as the Kii-Tanabe → Takijiri rate. Just let us know in the booking form.

Same-day luggage transfer services:

Booking goes smoothly once all your other accommodations along the Kumano Kodo are confirmed. If you have difficulty with the online form, please contact the host of Komorian by email.

⚠ We cannot accept luggage delivered by any other service. This includes nationwide courier services such as Yamato Transport – we cannot handle their pickup or delivery.

Have a different walking plan in mind? If you have already decided which sections you want to walk, please contact us – we will check whether we can support it.

On the same day, we can’t do both a dropoff at Hosshinmon-oji and a pickup from the Hongu area (that would mean 4 hours of driving). In that case, please take the local bus one way.

🚆 Trains to Kii-Tanabe 紀伊田辺

When traveling from Kyoto or Osaka to Kii-Tanabe Station, we recommend taking the Limited Express “Kuroshio.” You can check specific departure and arrival times on the Jorudan website.

Please note that the host of Komorian cannot check train times on your behalf, so we kindly ask you to confirm them yourself.

AFTER KOMORIAN

Your walk ends at Kumano Hongu Taisha. We recommend staying 1–2 nights in the Hongu area (Hongu, Yunomine, Wataze or Kawayu) to relax in the hot springs – we’ll deliver your luggage there for free.
