Review: Discover the meaning of "Omotenashi" at Guesthouse SORA
We spent two nights at Guesthouse SORA in the village of Chikatsuyu, a short walk from the bus stop and Kumano Kodo trail. Our Japanese-style room was spotlessly clean, with comfortable futons and yukatas. The toilet and separate Japanese bath are shared between two guestrooms, and there was never a problem getting time for an afternoon soak. Meals are sumptuous and enjoyed communally in the big kitchen/dining space. But the best feature of SORA: hosts Naomi & Yasuyuki! They go out of their way to accommodate every need, with green tea and sweets on arrival, and offers to drive me to and from the trail at Takahara and Kobiro. Yasuyuki even took us on a special drive to see the 800-year-old cedars. Naomi speaks excellent English, and both are unusually open and eager to share interests in art, Japanese literature, and the joys of seeing our children grow. I loved staying with Naomi & Yasuyuki and will wholeheartedly recommend SORA to those visitors seeking gracious, generous hospitality and a chance to get to know Japanese people.

Naomi and Yasuyuki were delightful hosts, keen to ensure we had all we needed. Our room was spacious and futons very comfy (memory foam base!). Shared bath and toilet facilities with guests from the other room. Meals were good. Highlight was our hosts taking us to an annual festival for the small local community which was a wonderful experience (timing is everything!) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Review: Best stop at Kumano Kodo
It was a lovely welcome by naomi and her husband. They helped us to plan the next day (english speaking) and served a delicious dinner and breakfast (nice conversation). We can recommend everything :-)

Review: Great experience
Staying at Naomi and Yasuyuki's place was a wonderful experience! We enjoyed the enthusiastic stories and they were extremely helpful. We arrived when the typhoon was about start, and Naomi and Yasuyuki really helped us a lot on this unplanned adventure.

Review: A sight for sore eyes after a big hike
We loved staying with Naomi and her husband! This was the most lovely welcome to the Kumano Kodo. Naomi greeted us at the door (after sending us a message checking on us since we were about 20 min later than expected- thank you) and treated us to a hot bath (in a lovely clean bathroom with fresh towels - be aware this is not an onsen) and then a delicious home cooked meal and plum wine and beer. We loved getting to chat with them and with our fellow boarder for the night - whom we ended up seeing throughout the hike in different towns, which was fun for us. Thank you for a generous welcome, Naomi!
