Minshuku Mitaki Sanso
Stay Steps from Nachi Falls & Kumano Nachi Taisha – A Sacred Retreat in the Heart of Kumano
Just a 3 minute walk from Kumano Nachi Taisha and a 5 minute walk from Nachi Falls, this welcoming Japanese inn “Minshuku Mitaki Sanso” offers a rare opportunity to stay in one of Kumano's most sacred and breathtaking locations.
Located just 600 meters from the UNESCO World Heritage listed Nachi Falls, the inn offers the unique experience of visiting these sacred sites early in the morning, before breakfast and before the daytime crowds arrive. Watching the magnificent waterfall emerge through the morning mist is a truly unforgettable sight, revealing the mystical beauty that has made Nachi Falls one of Japan's three most celebrated waterfalls.
Dining is another highlight of your stay. Nachi Katsuura is renowned as one of Japan's leading ports for fresh, never frozen tuna. The inn takes pride in serving thoughtfully prepared, meals featuring fresh local seafood, including tuna, along with seasonal ingredients from the surrounding mountains.
Whether you are walking the Kumano Kodo, exploring the spiritual heritage of Kumano or simply seeking a peaceful escape surrounded by nature, this inn offers an exceptional place to experience the beauty, traditions and warm hospitality of Japan.
Stay just steps away from Kumano's sacred landmarks and discover a side of Nachi that day-trip visitors rarely experience.
