The shower doesn't get super hot so it's a bit rough in the winter months. Location is far from any shops or transport hubs, but that can also be considered a bonus if you're after some tranquility

The owner is incredibly friendly and speaks great english, there was free use of bicycles, the guest house is incredibly old and charming which gives it a really authentic rural charm.

The heat is very uncomfortable to sleep in during summer. If you struggle with sleeping in the heat, plan accordingly. Especially if you are slept in the roof.

We loved the location and value for money.

If you're afraid of insects, be prepared to encounter them. There are big beetles and spiders. This is a real village, and they are part of nature. However, the spiders are friendly and do not cause any inconvenience. Love nature!

It was very pleasant to immerse in the atmosphere of a Japanese village. In front of the house, there's a BBQ area where you can grill dinner and chat around the campfire. There is a good shower and toilet. There's a wide selection of rental bicycles. The location is very convenient with many attractions nearby.

I wasn't expecting such a beautiful place, it's surrounded by mountains, just pure nature, I loved it! They made me feel part of their family! When I'll come back I hope to be able to speak Japanese! I highly recommend this amazing place! Thank you so much!

Rustic old house in countryside with welcoming host (who speaks English) and a great communal feel. Bring some food to cook in shared kitchen or barbecue and experience cooking rice in the old wood stove.

It was great to spend a time and do something interesting together with the guesthouse family here. I was staying during countdown period and so there were new year activities here like making mochi, calligraphy, and so on. Also, I love the owner family’s hospitality.

Great Host and nice stay in a historic Japanese village house.

Only thing which could be improved is to have more ventilators aiming at the top bunk beds which can be quite warm. Other than that nothing to add, thanks again Ryota!

Ryota is a great host, if you have the opportunity to join the BBQ or any other event, I highly recommend you to do so! It was also super nice to use his bikes and explore the beautiful surroundings!

The owner is friendly and helpful. He gave me a lot of information about the area. You can use a free bicycle :)

Ryota and his family have created a beautiful and comfortable hostel in a 140 year old traditional Japanese home. It felt very special to stay there, especially with such a friendly and interesting host. We were very lucky to stay at the same time as some other lovely people and we had great chats. Highly recommend!

couldn’t sleep well because there’s no AC in the room.

It was like visiting and old friend’s place!

Stayed in August 2022

There were only two table fans in the room where 8 PPL were sleeping. Definitely insufficient cooling for middle of summer. I couldn't sleep at night because it was uncomfortably hot.

It was a short walk from the bus stop.

It was hot and there were no AC.

The staff is super nice and friendly. The facility is old, but worths the price.

It has the drawbacks of an old house: - no sound isolation, so you may have difficulties sleeping if there are people chatting in the common space (all the more since it's right next to the rooms); - no temperature isolation, so it can be very warm and humid in summer, especially since there is no air conditioner (and it's probably freezing in winter); - dozens of insects and spiders everywhere in the house (the owner doesn't want to kill them or use repellent), some of them being quite scary (bigger than a smartphone). Also, charging customers for a towel and even for soap and shampoo while you already charge them almost 100 dollars for one (very basic) room seems a bit mean...

- If you want to experience a traditional old wooden Japanese house (more than 100 years old), it's a great opportunity to do so; - The location is also great: a few kilometers away from the city, with many rice fields around; - The owner lives in a modern house just a few meters away, so it's convenient if you need anything (and his kids are also kind and helpful); - Even though it's a old house, the owner invested in order to install modern toilets and showers.
