We established SEN.RETREAT as a lodging brand where travelers walking the KUMANO KODO can stay with peace of mind along their journey. Currently, we operate accommodations at three locations—Takijiri, Takahara, and Chikatsuyu—and warmly welcome guests from around the world. SEN.RETREAT was born out of a desire to address pressing local challenges, such as the declining population and shortage of successors to manage lodging facilities in each village. Our goal is to help preserve the environment and culture of walking the Kumano Kodo for future generations. To support this vision, we operate our lodgings sustainably as unmanned accommodations, without on-site reception or permanent staff. Together with our dedicated team from various regions, we strive to offer each guest a comfortable and memorable stay—while ensuring the continued legacy of the Kumano Kodo trail.
