Review: More then just walking

The owners really enjoy having travelers stay. You feel this from there first encounter.
FREE electric bike rental as well. All the homegrown food you can stomach with a helping of great cultural history for dessert
These landlords make this place an integral part of life on the trail and are highlights on our trip

Review: Lovely couple and idyllic location

Lovely, spacious guest room with garden view and the upper end of the village. All meals are just amazing with fresh food from the own garden. The hosts are more than caring and elevate the whole experience on a new level. Highly recommended.

Review: Lovely stay

We had a lovely stay! The (vegetarian) meals were delicious, most of the food was homegrown. The owners were very nice and spoke English. We really enjoyed our stay!

Review: Wonderful couple that runs this lovely guesthouse.

This was our first overnight on the Kumano Kodo. We were greeted warmly upon arrival, and they had a couple bikes for us to use to get some snacks from the only small grocer in this lovely little town. The three meals (dinner, breakfast and bento box lunch) provided by the couple were great. Highly recommended.

Review: Wonderfull Guestroom Owners

Naomi and her husband were wonderfully welcoming. We turned up dripping wet after a full days walk in the rain, Naomi ran us a hot bath, fed us hot tea and Kit Kat’s which is just what we needed. They invited us into the main room when another guest bought treats and shared treats and tea with us. Dinner and breakfast were great as was the packed lunch Naomi made us.

Review: Delightful friendly homestay in pretty river town

This was a wonderful stay with a couple who are great hosts who cook a five star dinner for you in their kitchen. There is no onsen but there is a public onsen very close by and Naomi also offers a Japanese bath which she runs for you. The room was a traditional tatami room very large and clean with jazz cds and books and there were bikes to ride around the village and by the pretty river. Naomi encouraged us to do the full 26 km walk over the mountain passes and was happy to get up and serve us a cooked breakfast at 6 am for an early start. We really enjoyed staying with Naomi and Yaz san. Highly recommended.

Review: Excellence in hospitality

We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay at SORA guesthouse. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and generous. The room was excellent, and the meals delicious and prepared with care. It was a perfect place for our family of 4 to stop for the night on our 2 day walk along the Kumano Kodo from Tanabe to Hongu.
