Guesthouse • 450 Kumanogawachō Nishishikiya, Shingu, Wakayama 647-1221, Japan
Situated deep in the mountains of Shingu City, Wakayama Prefecture, the 'Engawa Cafe & Guesthouse' is a special place to escape from the bustling daily life and experience harmony with nature. Surrounded by Kumano's abundant nature, this lodge offers a rare opportunity to experience a self-sustaining lifestyle.
The Goemon bath, using mountain water and heated with firewood, offers a luxurious experience unique to this place. On a clear night, you can enjoy the full starry sky while soaking in the bath. Stars that you can never see in the city invite you to a magical world.
One of the great charms here is the cuisine made with fresh vegetables carefully cultivated by the host. Enjoy healthy and delicious dishes that make the most of the ingredients' flavors, unlike anything you'll encounter in city restaurants. Child-friendly menus are also available, so families can dine with peace of mind.
On the premises, animals like goats live. You can enjoy the natural interaction with animals that is hard to experience in the city. Especially for children, it will be a valuable experience.
Conversations with the experienced host couple are another joy of staying. You'll hear interesting stories about their self-sustaining lifestyle and regional culture.
While located in the mountains, free Wi-Fi is available, so you can connect to the internet when necessary. However, mobile signal is weak, which might be a good opportunity to enjoy a digital detox.
The 'Engawa Cafe & Guesthouse' is a special place where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city and experience living with nature. Enjoy delicious meals, bathing under the starry sky, and interactions with animals - experiences that can only be had here. It is highly recommended for those who want to refresh both mind and body and feel true richness.
