Super cute traditional Japanese house reminded me of ghibli movies
I loved the traditional Japanese house and I love how old it was. It was super fun for a big group and a good location with a Conbini just a like 2 min walk away. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The beds were also very comfortable.
Certain things were broken or damaged but that was from guests who did not respect the house.

Good stay
House is old but good vibes. We liked the view from property. Owner is also supportive.

Pleasant, but find something else until they fix the place.
Upstairs area pleasant.
Kitchen needs repairs. Several floorboards need replacing, feels like one may fall through floor.
Not for guests with large, heavy luggage, as the walk to hotel from train station is very diificult up hill.

EXTREMELY HORRIBLE AND TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. WILL NEVER BOOK THEM
Nothing good about the Apartment
Horrible, Stressful and Terrible, cannot describe my experience.
We informed the host we were slightly late about 9.01pm due to heavy rains throughout the day and long journey from Gotemba to this VERY REMOTE mountainous apartment. Conditions were catastrophic. Long windy steep slopes to the apartment to a shabby, old, poorly maintained so-called "villa". What a misnomer!.
Host abruptly shut us off, changing the Pin access so after the long and windy bus journey up then a worse long steep roundabout walk followed by an impossibly steep descent of about 70 degrees gradient down to his apartment, we were locked out by the Host.
He refused to open the gate and abruptly canceled our room EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE FULLY PAID FOR TWO NIGHTS without offering any cancelation, help and then he didn't answer our pleas for help or picked up the phone to our calls. We told him we were a group of 11, mostly between ages 66 to 75 elderly ladies and this place was not even good, but finding an alternative accommodation in the evening in the remote mountainous area was way impossible.
We had to call the Embassy at their Emergency number, the Japanese Civil Emergency number And the local Police for help spending hours to look for and explain our situation to all these parties before we were finally evacuated out of the remote area down the valley to the next town for a last minute expensive accomodation as this was such a last minute booking. No choice left.
To add insult to injury, the Host promptly reoffered his apartment on the same dates of our booking, attempting not just to eat up our paid monies, but to earn extra from other would be tenants to his apartment. SUCH A MERCENARY AND SCAMMER!
SHOCKINGLY UNREASONABLE, TRAUMATIC CANNOT BEGIN TO DESCRIBE OUR EXPERIENCE.
I have been a regular Booking. Com customer for at least 10 years with good experiences until now. I have attained the Genius level
TOTALLY Unforgettable EXPERIENCE FROM THE BOTTOM WITH THIS HOST.

One of the most beautiful houses we stayed in on our trip to Japan! We loved this place, and it worked really well for our family. Clean, quiet, comfortable, spacious, functional, with beautiful traditional details around the house and the most incredible views out of the window. We loved it here, and our host was super helpful and gave us a lift to the station with our bags.
There was nothing we didn't like.

The house was ok as there was renovation going on. Enough room for all of us. Walking distance to train station and shops.
The renovation of the property was not mentioned in Booking.com
Noted lots of wear and tear around the house. We would have changed the property, if knew about renovation prior to booking.
