We founded “SEN.” as a place where travelers walking the sacred Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail can stay with peace of mind. SEN.HAVEN is a simple and functional lodging designed to ensure pilgrims can rest deeply and take confident steps toward the next day’s journey. “SEN.” is committed to addressing regional challenges such as population decline and the shortage of successors for local accommodations in mountain villages. Our mission is to preserve the environment and culture that allow people to continue walking the Kumano Kodo for generations to come. For this reason, we operate sustainably as an unmanned accommodation without on-site reception or staff. Together with team members from various local communities, we strive to provide a comfortable stay for every guest while helping pass down the legacy of the Kumano Kodo to the future. SEN.HAVEN SAKURAI is located exactly halfway between Kumano Hongu Taisha and Kumano Nachi Taisha, on the historic Nakahechi route between Kogumotori Pass and Ogumotori Pass. Nestled in the peaceful former village of Oguchi, surrounded by clear mountain streams, this area has long served as an important resting place for pilgrims. ■ Whole-house Private Plan Accommodates 2 to 4 guests with exclusive use of the entire house. Dinner: Local bento meal Breakfast: Bread and jam Optional lunch: Trekking bento available upon request after booking Plan details, including prices and meal offerings, may vary.
