Cozy and clean hostel in the middle of the forest

The House was so beautiful, well decorated and clean, and in the middle of the forest ❤️. The host was also very kind and open to meet and talk with people. He has a truly interest in knowing people and their background. So my stay, was amazing. Thank you very much

Comfortable stay in a beautiful location.

The location and building area really beautiful! Waking up to birds chirping outside the very traditional looking walls was wonderful. The house itself is old but it has been renovated beautifully. The shower and bathrooms are very nice and the set up is good.

The stairs to to the second floor are very steep, so be careful carrying your things up there!

there’s few places I wanted to come back but this one sure is

It’s literally in a forest. and the staff there including the owner himself are just incredibly fun. though my family doesn’t speak Japanese, they try to involve him in the conversation and we had a lot things to chat about.

(it’s not really a negative point here) it’s super super quiet at night. if the guest doesn’t know how to follow the manners it could be a problem. but honestly I suggest those who can’t really keep quiet at night pls don’t travel at all to disturb other people.

Wonderful Host, Clean Space, Wholesome Guests and An Awesome Bonfire

I greatly enjoyed my stay here. Absolutely fantastic! I arrived alone and he was quick to invite me in, sit me down with some tea as we went over the house rules and check-in procedure at a calm pace. Maybe if there's alot of people arriving at one time, the house's entrance will feel a little too crowded. Yusuke's English was also very good! Seems self-taught so it was quite an enjoyable pace to converse with. Also, he asked if I'd like to attend a backyard bonfire during check-in. It was really nice! The set-up, other guests and everything. The participation fee was 200 yen, a small price for some wholesome conversations. Everyone was so lovely. Also, a cheaper onsen ticket if you inquire with him for Shiobutsu Onsen. Location was great. I rented a super cheap e-bike, recommended via email by him, before arriving. E-bike was totally worth renting to go up the hill to the Guesthouse as the route was so scenic during Autumn. You'll have to be a bit more observant and look out for the wooden signs. 7/11 is quite far (if you're not taking a bike or driving), so I'd recommend picking up some food on route. The kitchen had everything I needed.

I'm a deep sleeper so it's typical of Japanese styled homes with sliding doors, to hear everything. If this bothers you, I recommend packing some earplugs. It'll solve everything.

it’s ok. you get what you pay for.

nice location. all was very clean.

the guy who works there was a bit strange. we arrived for check in at the same time with another couple and he didn’t know what to do so he acted very nervous and awkward. seemed like it’s his first steps in hospitality business, definitely needs some more experience.
