Holiday houses in Kitayama

noad is a private guest house where you can stay with works of art. You can see the great nature of the meandering Kitayama River.

Located in Totsugawa Village, Nara Prefecture, Wakayama and Mie prefectures are right next door, and it is close to tourist attractions such as the World Heritage Kumano Kodo, Rorikyo, Tamaki Shrine, and Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine, as well as hot springs such as Yuguchi Onsen, Kawa Onsen, Yuno Mine Onsen, and Totsugawa Onsen. The entire space, which includes a loft with a staircase dance and a renovated basement of an old potato field, is also used as a place for artists to stay and create, depending on the period. You can enjoy nature and art with ONKAI, an outdoor sculpture by a German artist, a 2-3 minute walk away. Breakfast, bento, and dinner are optional, and we offer vegetarian menus using vegetables from the Kumano area. ⚠︎ Because the river is close and the area is surrounded by nature, there are many insects in the warm season, and they may enter the room. Please make a reservation after understanding the characteristics of the place rich in nature. ⚠︎ We are renovating an old private house built over 100 years ago, and we are using the charm of the old wood as it is. Please be careful if you are allergic to dust, etc.
