Review: Kind hosts and warm welcome

Of the three guesthouses that I stayed on the Kumano Kodo trail, I enjoyed my stay at Guesthouse Sora the most. Although I arrived one hour earlier than check-in time, Naomi-san immediately welcomed me and checked me in. Both Naomi-san and Yasu-san were a wealth of knowledge about the area and Japan in general. A bonus was that Chikatsuyu village was fun to explore. It was hard to leave the warm and friendly Guesthouse Sora!

Review: Very kind, very comfortable

I was made to feel very welcome at Sora Guesthouse. The space was very cozy and pleasant and Naomi and Yasu were very thoughtful and very helpful. I follow a Buddhist (vegan) diet and Naomi went out of her way not only to meet my needs but also to cook some very tasty food. Naomi also suggested some sites related to Ippen Shonin I would not have known about without her. Thank you! -- Happy New Year 2024, and sorry for the very late review. I truly enjoyed this short visit.

Review: Warm hospitality

We were warmly welcomed by Naomi and her husband in their beautiful and spacious home. Location is easy to find. A short uphill walk from the main Kumano Kodo trail. It helps that Naomi replies almost instantly to messages and really assisted us to easily locate the inn. Food was excellent and we even had the pleasure of meeting some of the couple's "walking club" friends when they dropped by to welcome us as well. Would stay with them again. Very comfortable stay. Domo arigato, Naomi & hubby !

Review: Perfect place in Chikatsuyu

My husband and I spent a night here during our Kumano Kodo trail. The hospitality was very warm and kind, probably the best we experienced in our stay in Japan! The room was very nice, comfortable and clean, with a big private bathroom. The meals (dinner, breakfast and bento) were delicious!! We loved the convivial dinner with the hosts and the other guests. Naomi and Yazu also helped us to organize the following day trek, showing us helpful information.
Highly recommended!

Review: Lovely hosts

The 3-room guesthouse has the feel of a family home, filled with personal collectibles of the hosts. The hosts were very cheerful and welcoming and aways ready to answer our questions. The meals were great. Highly recommended.
