Home-stay at the farmhouse and start on the sacred pilgrimage
Noka Minshuku “Mandokoro (Tsuji)”Mandokoro is located at about 350 meters above sea level, just between the Obako and Miura mountain paths, which are part of the Sacred Pilgrimage Routes in Kumano (World Heritage), and it is therefore a perfect accommodation for those who wish to start on the scared pilgrimage. The dignified traditional gate and the main building are designated as tangible cultural properties of Nara Prefecture. Enter the gate and the friendly owner and their dog, Magu, will greet you. Real life in a farmhouse can be experienced such as fire wood chopping (children will use a machine), making fire to heat the bath, farming, etc.
