Monthly Rentals in Mount Nachi

Loved our stay at Genki House. We stayed for one night during our Kumano Kodo hike. We could not find accommodations close to Koguchi, and found Yuki's place instead, and I'm glad it turned out that way! She kindly drove us from the trail to the house and back the next day for a small fee, stopping at a grocery store so we could buy food for breakfast and dinner. Yuki was kind and helpful, and great to talk to! The house was spacious and clean and had everything we needed. We loved the freshly baked bread Yuki left for us. The countryside surroundings were peaceful and scenic. The inconvenience of being far from the trail was not a problem at all because Yuki was very responsive in figuring out pickup details and flexible in the times she could drive us. It was also very affordable. Highly recommend!

Expectations were met

good authentic Japanese house experience, great hostess😊😊

Wow, what an incredible place to stay this is! Not only is Risa's home a wonderful base to see the stunning natural beauty of Wakayama, but the neighbourhood of Shingu itself is so idyllic and quintessentially Japanese that you'll find it difficult to leave when your time is up. Staying in the house is a special experience as it immerses you in Japanese culture with the sliding doors, tatami mat flooring and paper screens. It's comfortable and quiet with much-welcome AC to fight the heat and humidity. Risa was a very communicative and welcoming host, giving clear check-in instructions, swiftly helping out with a brief internet issue, and even leaving a full table and fridge of snacks for our arrival. Do yourself a favour and book this house if you're planning to visit the beautiful Wakayama region!
