I had a wonderful four nights. It was nice to live in an old 3-bedroom house in a quiet neighborhood along a narrow path. I loved waking up in a room bathed in light from the shoji door and windows. Early in the morning I would go out for a walk before sitting down to a nice Japanese breakfast with the owner, cook and other guests. Sharing the bathrooms with other guests was like living with your siblings. I felt like I was part of a family in a very interesting and relatively small town. The owner was very helpful in answering questions and recommending places to visit. If you want a hotel experience, this is not for you. There is no front desk, extra amenities, private bathroom, tv, or refrigerator. This is an old house with three guest rooms. But the rooms have a/c and the two bathrooms have flush washlets. You have to remove your shoes at the front door. Then you step up to the small common area with a low table and zabutons. Under the table is recessed so you can sit comfortably with your legs dangling. The narrow, steep stairway leads to two guest rooms and a bathroom with toilet. My room was very comfortable with a couch and low desk. The futon was thin so I laid two of them on the tatami mat. This was a great experience to live in an old Japanese house.

Delicious breakfast and the most welcoming staff, thank you Bushi and Nanako for having me!

The property is true to its description. Staff was very helpful and they provided a delicious breakfast. Had a great night sleep both nights there.

The staff is wonderful and very friendly. Not pictured is the dual shower and toilet. The futons are very thin and uncomfortable. Bushi the regular host was not there and I was not notified of the change prior to check in.

Breakfast was lovely and the host was very kind.

Bushi was a fantastic host, such a unique experience. Amazing breakfast and a great chat

We had a phenomenal experience getting to know a modern samurai! Our host is very knowledgeable about history and his kindness and life purpose is worth stopping by there for a few days snd learn from him. You get personalized treatment and the breakfast was prepared with love and kindness! We will be back for sure!! Warmed heartfelt thanks Bushi!!

The rooms, sheets, and towels were clean. The staff and host were AMAZING AND LIVELY! The kitchen was clean and they even made breakfast and dinner for me! I stayed during a cooler season so just having the window open was perfect. I really appreciate the kindness and hospitality of the host, Bushi. To me it was an amazing experience I will NEVER forget. Thank you so much!

Bushi, the host is the coolest guy ever, he is a great friend and so warm and welcoming!

the place was clean the breakfast was ample the host was friendly there are three rooms - 2 upstairs and 1 downstairs - and if you are of a certain age and need an afternoon nap you should not be downstairs. On both days there were people in the living room and even the little noise they made was disturbing because of paper-thin walls. So if you need naps and privacy ask for upstairs.
