Everything was very clean and orderly. Beds were very comfortable and duvets very warm in colder November weather. Lovely common area and a nice shared kitchen with free evening rice and morning porridge. Access to private onsen which was a real treat! This was some of the best value for money I’ve seen - highly impressed! Completely exceeded my expectations.

The view from the parking lot is the only saving grace of this place. Other than that there was a plus in that the host was responsive via whatsapp.

If you’re looking for an exceptional traditional Japanese guesthouse, look no further. SOLA was by far the best place we stayed in Japan, and the highlight of our time on the Kumano Kodo. Mandy, had opened the guesthouse only 1 week prior to our stay, but she’s so organized you’d never know. Upon our arrival, she asked if we wanted to go to an onsen near by, which after a long day of hiking was a must. She drove us there herself and then helped us get checked in. That evening she made us Shabu Shabu for dinner, with many of the ingredients coming from her own garden! The house is maybe a 5 min walk to the bus station and very conveniently located for anyone doing the Kumano Kodo. Mandy is the real highlight of the experience though. She is so gracious and kind, we felt like family. She’s also an acupuncturist, which we didn’t have time to experience but wish we had. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Thank you for an incredible stay, Mandy!

What a spectacular guest house! We were blown away by how beautiful it was both inside the house and their wonderful garden area with the oldest Sakura tree in Wakayama. Giovanni and Hitomi were amazing hosts and made us feel welcome and special throughout. Giovanni's set course meal was absolutely delicious with high quality ingredients, we were glad we paid extra for this. After our trek from Takajiri we were able to enjoy some beers in the sunshine in the garden and it was the perfect end to the day. Would recommend to everyone highly 🌸

The property is located very close to the bus stop 柿平 and the largest supermarket in the area. The host/helper was very friendly. He let us check in one hour before the check in time. He prepared the dinner and breakfast. The food was incredibly delicious and tasty. The Japanese style bedroom is spacious.

The location for the Kumano Kodo is great - right next to a grocery store. Be aware you will be cooking for yourself but they provide everything you need for pizza and to grill, we had a great time :)

    Great hostel just meters off the Kumano Kodo trail. Dinner was a tasty and plentiful bento box. Free filter coffee and tea available and good sized sleeping capsules in the dorms. The onsen was also a great bonus!

    The location was convenient and quiet, you could hear the stream of water. It was vibrant and full of like-minded backpackers looking after themselves and facilities which stayed clean throughout the stay. The outdoor onsen of the hostel was delightful.

    Great hostel! Located right along the Kumano Kodo, with great access to hiking. Stayed in the mixed dorm and was very impressed with the size and comfort of the beds. Lots of privacy for a hostel. Everything was clean. Kitchen well equipped. Private onsen access was great as well. Loved our stay here!

    We had a very comfortable stay at this humble guesthouse. The host was very sweet. The common area is nice and cozy. The location was great, close to the public bath house.
