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!

Review: Beyond friendly and helpful

The hosts were amazingly friendly and helped me with my hike plan. When I realized I couldn’t make the entire mileage in time for a bus, I was driven to see the giant cedar trees which was most incredible. After hosting so very many travelers, the hosts are still so enthusiastic. Their hospitality is remarkable.
