ZaozaoRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Beautiful well preserved Japanese traditional house. Spacious and homey as described. There is a nice and quiet courtyard as well. Really love the citrus there. A convenient store is just within walking distance. Staying here is enjoyful and relaxing. Our host is always responsive and provided almost all amenities we need during the stay. Hope we would have a chance to stay here next time. Tips for height more than 175cm people, you should be careful about the beams over your head.

熊野古道小辺路沿いにある一棟貸しの宿YAKIOHOUSE

KatharinaRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Tone and Kimi were the most wonderful hosts and the Yakiohouse is a beautiful mountain oasis! The location is perfect when visiting Kumano Kodo, we stayed there for two nights while hiking the trail and wished we had stayed longer. The house has beautiful natural colors, organic shapes and small, thoughtful design elements throughout. The view from the large windows is breathtaking, into lush green mountains, the river, and an old bridge. Tone and Kimi take such great care of their guests, they provided helpful tips for our hike, had maps handy, they bring in fresh natural water, insisted to help carry our luggage, had umbrellas for us when it rained. They’re such a sweet family, we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Quiet Riverside Mountain Villa — Doratei

LagoonRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Six of us spent two unforgettable nights at Doratei in Ryujinmura, Japan — a beautifully renovated traditional house that seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern comfort. The open-concept, fully functional kitchen turned meal prep into a lively, social affair — moving from stove to table was effortless, making every meal a shared experience. The bucolic surroundings were a dream to explore at our own pace — winding trails, lush greenery, suspension bridges and the warmest locals. The mix of tatami mats, shoji screens, and sleek modern touches created a cozy yet stylish vibe. A special highlight was meeting Lee, an awesome storyteller who introduced us to his farm family — the goats, ducks, and chickens were an absolute delight! 🐔🦆🐐 If you’re looking to discover the quieter, more authentic side of Japan, do take the road less travelled to stay here 😌

Villa in Kinokawa

1h from Osaka!Traditional house/free wifi

EricRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Takuro-san handled the communication very well from the very start and is always very responsive and helpful to ensure a smooth and uneventful check-in. He has even kindly offered to perform a tea ceremony on arrival and was a very good experience to get settled in. The house is as described just off the banks of a beautiful river overseeing two bridges. Very close proximity to the local electric train and the Kishi train station which is famous for its feline station master. House is well equipped with both kerosene heaters and air conditioning unit so it made our stay very comfortable. Beds were futons on mattresses to preserve the experience of sleeping on tatami mats for travellers who are not used to sleeping on harder surfaces. Overall an amazing getaway and no complaints. Takuro-san’s recommendations were spot on and even helped with making reservations for us. Would highly recommend staying here. Great base to explore Kinokawa town and Wakayama City.

Tiny home in Koya

Modernist cabin in the midst of a sacred mountain

JessicaRating, 5 stars3 days ago

If there is a prize for best Airbnb host, Ryochi should win it. He is the most thoughtful, generous, and attentive host we have ever encountered in all our years of Airbnb stays. On his own accord, he picked us up from the train station, reserved restaurants, arranged for a private car to the airport, provided details for touring the area, and even checked in on us to make sure we made it on the last evening bus through town after our tour of the spectacular cemetery. Simply amazing. The house is a perfectly designed nest (architecture and design-lovers will especially enjoy all the details)—right across from all the major temples. Our family of four was very comfortable, and the entire stay was extra meaningful, thanks to Ryochi’s top-notch hospitality.

We spend a week here and had a really nice time. The house is spacious and in a beautiful, peaceful location near a forest and creek. We felt very comfortable. Our host was super friendly and forthcoming, giving us lots of great recommendations and even helping us with a reservation at a local restaurant. We’d definitely stay here again :)

JasonRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Ito San is an amazing host and a very kind person who went above and beyond to ensure our stay at Moon and Sky was comfortable and enjoyable. From meeting us at the train station upon arrival to providing a thorough tour of the house and offering helpful recommendations for local events, Ito San's hospitality was truly outstanding. The room and the house was very clean, spacious, and well-equipped during our long-term stay, and we appreciated the opportunity to interact with locals and other guests during the weekends. This is by far the best Airbnb experience I have ever had! I highly recommend Moon and Sky to anyone seeking a long or short-term stay in Wakayama, and I can't thank Ito San enough for making our time there so memorable.

Everything about the house was good and thank you so much the host.This was my first stop for a trip with my family, a lot of things were unfamiliar, and the host was patient with my questions and was very kind to us.Also my mother felt that the cleaning cloth worked very well, I just asked if it was included in the room rate and the host gave us a new piece which was really unexpected. Thank you!

[World Heritage Takayama B] Kokoro no Tsuboyasu Little Retreat House Ikkosho (6-tatami Japanese-style room for 1 person with desk)

MariaRating, 5 stars6 months ago

This home was a good place to rest and reset. A bit farther from the temple stays and main road. The shared spaces in the first floor were nice and clean. The rooms upstairs are beautiful and traditional. We were the only guests there when we stayed, so it was as if having the house to ourselves. Overall a good experience.
