what a great little place. If you have a small group, the 4 ppl room on the 3rd floor is perfect. The place has lots of great info in multiple languages and the affiliated izakaya was the perfect place to go for dinner.

Host was incredibly welcoming and helpful. He searched and found information for us and even offered to help us make reservations for activities. We stayed here during the winter, but the place was warm and comfortable. It had everything we needed plus free condiments. We would love to stay here again!

Extremely clean and organized. We only stayed for one night so we didn’t make use of all of its facilities, but it has ever you need, even for cooking. The host was very helpful.

Staying at the beguiling Kamikura Hideway was one of the highlights of our three-week trip to Japan, a vacation that included stays at a number of luxury hotels. Tetsuji and Mio, the incredibly hospitable owners of the property, have created a full-fledged art project that doubles as a kind of homestay. The house once belonged to Tetsuji's grandmother, an adventurous soul who took in an Icelandic geologist boarder whom Osakan Tetsuji befriended as a boy during his summer stays in Shingu. A-San, as he was known, disappeared one day, never to be heard from again. When Tetsuji took over the property, he constructed a kind of installation, leaving A-San's desk, rock samples, and books and composing a remarkably well written 80-page account of his childhood experiences with his grandmother and A-San that conveys the melancholy of the loss of his friend and his grandmother, as well as the evanescence of childhood. The whole thing is remarkably affecting and beautiful. In addition to presenting this beguiling story, the Hideaway offers nicely appointed rooms complete with expertly chosen books and maps and trinkets, rather comfortable beds, as well as strong air conditioning, a necessity if you visit in the sultry summer months, as we did. The hike up to the Kamikura Shrine, which starts only 100 meters from the house, is both challenging and breathtaking, and Shingu offers some nice dining options, especially Ajito, a wonderful izakaya recommended by Mio. A fantastic place!

The house is lovely, and although it's a bit of a trek from Shingu Station, is in a quiet part of town close to a kakigori shop, and also not far from Kamikura Shrine. As a bonus, I ended up having the entire place to myself, which made it much easier to recuperate from days of trekking along the Kumano Kodo.
