Mori Nonaka is a really special place and I was delighted to get to stay here. My room was a large tatami room with beautiful traditional alcoves and ornaments, and a view over beautiful greenery. I loved gazing out over the view, to the sound of birdsong and frogs in the rice fields. My two hosts (an Australian-Japanese couple) were incredibly warm and welcoming, and I loved getting to know them and getting to share our experiences living in Japan and overseas. They messaged me on WhatsApp to offer a lift from wherever I would find convenient, and dropped me at the bus stop early the next day - this was really helpful. The food was absolutely top-notch, and it was no problem that I had requested semi-vegetarian meals. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend it to others. Thank you so much!

We had an excellent time
We had an amazing time in Jon and Hiromi’s house, she is an excellent cook! After a long walk in the first day of our Kumanokodo pilgrimage, Jon picked us up by car to their home where a bucket of hot water and some tea were awaiting. Very nice home and very nice conversation! Thanks a lot

Highlight during our trip - Michelin star quality food
We stayed with Naoko and Koji for one night while walking the Kumano Kodo. Directly after our booking, Naoko reached out to check our meal preferences. This was very thoughtful. And when arriving at the Tsugizakura-oji, Koji was ready to pick us up there. They gave us a very warm welcome and we loved to exchange ideas about nature, culture, art and other topics. We learned some interesting things from them and felt very much at home. The food Naoko prepared was just delicious and very much appreciated after a long hike. Koji took the time to discuss our next day's hike and had some great suggestions. They are very very special people who give their guests a very warm and comfortable stay at their lovely home. We hope to be back one day!

United States (solo traveler male)
the host Koji and his wife were nice hosts. Their house is a little off the track; I had to walk 2.2km to get their guesthouse after I walked out from Kumano trail; I did not ask them for pickup even if they offer this service. Their house has 2 guest rooms and 2 restrooms and 1 shared bathroom. It was very warm and comfortable place which like all Japanese homes, very functional and clean. They are such a lovely couple who speak a little English. Mr. Koji was very nice and friendly; he pentiendly explained to me the walking route for the next day. The couple worked together for cooking, and dined with me and the 2 other guests from china; all of us had a fantastic meal getting to know each other and learning a little of their lives. They provided delicate and delicious dinner and breakfast foods and also provided me with lunch box. My stay at their guesthouse was very happy and memorable.

We had great experience here. House hosts are warm, polite and considerate. We could find everything we need in the house: healthy and yummy hand-made meals, bath including clothes-drying system, coffee and tea, lunch box for next day's hiking.

Fantastic
Naoko and her husband Koji were wonderful hosts. Their house is a little off the track but they offer pick up service from the end of the hiking track so that was great. However, we chose to walk an extra 2 km to their house as we were early and that was an easy downhill/flat ~2km walk. Their house has 2 guest rooms and 2 WCs and 1 shared bathroom. It was very comfortable and like all Japanese bathrooms, very functional and clean. They are such a lovely couple who speak a little English and are very keen to engage with us and learn more. They dined with us and the 2 other guests and all 6 of us had a fantastic meal getting to know each other and learning a little of their lives. They are new at the hosting endeavour but I suspect they will do very well. Naoko cooked the most amazing food and provided us with 3 delicious meals. Our stay at their home was very memorable which we will cherish for a long time.
