Kumano Kodo, the historic network of pilgrimage trails found throughout the Kansai region of Japan, just gained a unique new option for accommodations. Completed in April 2020, Sen. Retreat Takahara is an inclusive hostel converted from a former home in Wakayama by KURU and Coil Kazuteru Matumura Architects. The project features three separate buildings designed to promote interaction between guests, and all of the structures are wrapped in local Japanese cedar wood. One of the more extraordinary world heritage sites protected by UNESCO, the ancient network of trails making up Kumano Kodo is surrounded by nature and is often used for spiritually enlightening journeys.
