Highly recommended

The owners are great in hospitality. After the long day walking, we got a nice rest here. And they also provided plan advice and assistance for our next day, very helpful.

Super Informative Hosts

Aki & Tomo were extremely accommodating hosts. We especially liked the briefing that Aki provided on the tough walk ahead on Day 3, the longest on the Kumano Kudo circa 22km. Her information was excellent, for example on the last bus times. Our room was very comfortable with an ensuite toilet, although only one bath/shower room shared with a few other guests, but no issues. Meals were very good. Hiyodori is right on the trail at the end of Day 2. Thank you.

心温まるおもてなしを受け感謝しています。 女将さんから、次の宿(宿泊地)に着くまでは責任がありますから、何かありましたら、連絡ください。と携帯番号を教えていただいたことに驚きました。 おかげさまで、古道旅ができました。

automated translation: I am truly grateful for the heart-warming hospitality. I was surprised when the landlady gave me her mobile number, saying, ‘I’m responsible for you until you reach your next accommodation, so please do get in touch if anything comes up.’ Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy my journey along the ancient trail.

Very friendly, great location

We received a very friendly greeting from Aki at Hiyodori GH. The room was large with comfy beds and a nice quiet location right on the trail. The food was delicious and Aki gave us very good instructions on our departure and recommended time to leave in the morning etc. The bath and facilities were very clean and we had a lovely view out to the mountains from the common dining area. It was lovely to have a soak in the onsen bath after a full day hiking. Highly recommended!
