Guest House Sora is located in the Kunisada district of Yoshino Town. It is a region with a long history that appears in "Kojiki" and "Nihon Shoki". Kunisada, a craft village, is also known for its hand-woven Japanese paper and Yoshino cedar and Yoshino cypress chopsticks.
Jomihara Shrine, which can be reached on foot from the guest house, is a shrine quietly nestled in a rocky mountain overlooking the beautiful blue "Tenno Fuchi" of the Yoshino River, and is recommended as a walking course the morning after your stay.
Located right in the middle of the Kii Peninsula, it is close to the neighboring Higashiyoshino village, Kawakami village, and Kamikita village, and you can drive to Otaki Kebara in about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
We recommend playing in the river in the summer, but it's also great to aim for the waterfall basins, such as Tomoe no Taki Waterfall and Fudo Nanae Waterfall! It is also about a 30-minute drive to the trailhead of Mt. Takami, known for its winter fog and ice.
Unfortunately, there are few grocery stores or restaurants nearby. It is best to buy food before you come. There is a full kitchen, so I think you will enjoy cooking.
Sakura no Ma has a lock, but there is only a sliding door between it and the hallway.

The space
All the rooms in the house are Japanese-style rooms, and there are 4 of them. Sakura no Ma is a separate west-facing room with a single bed, located next to the stairs on the second floor.
On the second floor, there is another 8-tatami private room and a 6-tatami room with a large living room.

The toilet and bathroom are only on the first floor (shared), so I recommend a room on the first floor for those with bad legs. There are many steps in the building and it is not barrier free. Please understand.

During your stay
If you have any requests, such as information on Yoshino alcohol, restaurants, or people you want to meet in Yoshino, we will always be happy to help! Please let me know.

Other things to note
There are almost no shops where you can buy groceries, etc., or restaurants nearby, including convenience stores. Please come after stocking up.
