This was a great stay, the hosts were amazing, gave me a route to see some temples that were close enough to walk to. They lent me a jacket and gloves for my walk. The room was nice, quiet, the bed was comfy and stocked with tea. The breakfast they prepare for you is also fantastic, can't recommend enough! Feel at ease booking here. I will be staying again!

Amazing place to stay! Traditional, and our room was huge compared to Japanese standards. Very quiet and clean, despite shared amenities. Did not try the breakfast. Owners were lovely and friendly and super accommodating! Would stay again.
