Spoiler for Ep 2 quote:

"The most enticing part of a Journey is its preparation. Hearing a dog howl is most dreadful. To see a woman's back is the most beautiful thing. If you are to carefree and reckless your dreams will vanish. I can't do something like that to you."

1. Horo does not want her ears to be revealed.
2. By staying concealed under a robe, she leaves it up to his imagination as to what she looks lies, thus creating a kind of mystery behind her beauty that he does not know. As he assumes she is good looking, because her "husband" has her covered in a robe. Also by showing her face she would "break" his hopes of what he has built her beauty up to be like.
