Review: Thank you for the home like hosting!

Very friendly and considerate host couple. Nothing better than a hot bath, home-cooking dinner (and 2nd day bento box) and fun & open-minded conversations after a long day of walk! Feeling like staying at home and I hope I can be like this when I retire.:)))

Glad to be given an ensuite room even though at the point of booking, it says shared batheoom and toilet. Am pleasantly surprised. Thank you !
However, the room had carpet that smelled, esp when one is sleeping on the futon on the carpet floor.

The house had lot's of treasures - books, CDs, cameras, and lovely coloured kimonos for guests to choose from. Really nice !

Host Naiomi-san was very hospitable, sitting at the dining table to entertain us during meal times. Though her english was not very fluent fluent, it's not difficult to understand her. She was very warm and really makes us feel welcome, sharing a lot of stories, history, interesting facts during meal times.

At checkin, she was very helpful with maps, showing us how to get around Chikatsuyu and even how to get to our next accomodation, with a folder of hand drawn maps and bus schedule. Must realky commend her for the good advice !

Review: Fabulous place to stay in Chikatsuyu

We loved our stay at Guesthouse Sora. Naomi and Yasuyuki were both so friendly and helpful. They are passionate advocates for the town and Naomi was an absolute font of information. The dinner, served at a huge communal table, was quite simple but delicious and it was lovely to interact with the other guests and listen to Naomi talk about Japan and the Kumano region.

Review: We felt so welcome

We had the lovely privilege of being the only two staying that evening during our honeymoon and had great conversations with Naomi-san and Yasu-san, sharing cultural anecdotes and discussing music. The traditional bedroom with the warming kotatsu was very comfortable. I'll never forget groggily waking up for breakfast and Naomi-san excitedly opening the kitchen door, brimming with cheer. I was barely awake and she was just thrilled to continue our talks. We were even served a special mochi after Naomi-san found out how much my wife liked it. We jokingly refer to them as our Japanese parents and will cherish our "goodbye" selfie. We hope to be back some day!

Review: Ultimate coziness after a long day

We loved every moment at this lodging. The hosts were warm and welcoming; meals in the common space were delicious, joyful, and full of wonderful conversation; and room had everything we needed plus a kotatsu table and sliding door leading out to the misty mountains. We were also so pleasantly surprised after a long day of hiking to have an onsen bath ready for us! This stay was a highlight of our trip - the moment we left we wanted to return!
