Review: Our favorite stay of the trip
Yasu and Naomi are absolutely lovely and we're so thrilled that we chose to stay with them during our hike. Naomi speaks excellent English and she has the most warm, wonderful energy. She has very clearly found a lot of joy in her life and sharing her home and it shows. Yasu is soft spoken, gentle, kind. They are a lovely pair and we could spend days chatting with them about anything.
The home is modest, comfortable, and feels very much like it is THEIR home, which we loved. The accommodations in the private room are absolutely perfect after a long day of hiking. Well equipped and comfortable. Meals are home made with care. They're extensive and delicious. The fried tofu and sashimi were the real standouts for us.
We can't say enough good things about this place and these people and we'd have to consider coming back to Chikatsuyu on our next trip to Japan just to see these lovely folks again.

Review: Very welcoming stay, delicious food, super nice hosts!
Guesthouse SORA is a very welcoming place. The food (dinner, breakfast, lunch box) were super delicious. All guests are seated at one table which made the dinner very conversable. I learned a lot about the region, Kumano Kodo and Japan in general.
To Naomi and her husband Yasuo: You were the perfect hosts. I wish you the best and hope you can welcome many more hikers in your wonderful home!

Review: Best stay during Kumano Kodo！
We can certainly call this the best stay at Kumano Kodo - the owner of the guesthouse was very intelligent and nice couple - we did enjoy their company a lot. The hospitality was amazing - they have suggested us some activities around the area - such as swimming in the river - which was a relief after a hike, visit the local museum, also gave us some books.
The food they prepared was super delicious.
Thank you, it was a pleasure to stay at your place and hopefully we will meet you again!

Review: Naomi the best
We had a Great stay and overall Experience at SORA Guesthouse, Naomi and her husband are really great Host, it was a pleasure to chat with them and eat all together, the day after they even gave us a lift with their car to shorten the walk due to forecasted Rain.. We felt like in a family, like on the camino! Their House is beautiful, we had a view of their garden, very relaxing and overall very clean!
