Yuki Ten by H2 Life

JordanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Great spot about 15 min walk from the slopes, which didnt feel like too far given the ski rental options on the slopes with included overnight storage. Two single beds in each of the three bedrooms makes it ideal for a group of 6 friends to share. Lots of good food around. The place itself is lovely with great amenities and ambience.

DewiRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My family (2 adult and 2 teenagers) stayed in Kaz’s place for 6 nights in March 2025. We loved the space and the location. It was quiet, close to a station, and very easy to get to various areas of Tokyo. There are convenience and grocery stores within walking distance - we visited these stores on our way out and back every day for breakfast, snacks, and dinner. The place is also extremely clean and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you Kaz for your hospitality and we look forward to book with you again the next time we visit Tokyo.

Alpine Retreat Villa 47 Hakuba

AdrianaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We enjoyed very much our stay at Angel's place. Angel was there to greet us and was very responsive during our stay, going out of his way to make our stay even more comfortable. The house is well located in a quiet area near the ski resorts Hakuba 47 and Goryu and a short ride to town. Everything was clean, modern and cozy. The beds were comfortable and the house was well equipped: we could make a few meals at home and some laundry. We had a great stay at Angel's place.

Newly Opened 【Takamatsu City】Entire House Rental

美幸Rating, 5 stars5 days ago
There are facilities along the road, and there are Airbnb signs, so it is very easy to understand even for the first time (^ ^) The exterior of the facility is also a very cute single-family house٩ (♡ε♡)۶ We were greeted by a cute animal figurine and a small spring-like flower on the front porch. There is also a parking lot that can accommodate two cars, so you can use a rental car. The inside of the facility is white, clean, and fully equipped, and the furniture and interior accessories are very nice, the kitchen and living room are easy to use and have everything you need, so I felt comfortable and at home (* ^ ^ *) The bedroom is equipped with a comfortable bed and a clean space to fully relieve the fatigue of traveling.There was also a cute Japanese-style room on the second floor, so I had a fun time. Also, the host was very kind and told me in detail about the surrounding shops and facilities, so I was able to enjoy family restaurants, restaurants, and recommended shops in large commercial facilities within walking distance (^ o ^)/There is also a station nearby, and I was able to go to Takamatsu Shopping Street and Takamatsu Station's new commercial facility "Takamatsu Orne" for shopping.I had a lot of good experiences staying at this stylish and cute "Tazuraya Sakuramachi" with a good location (* ^ ^ *) It is an inn that makes me want to stay again and again.I also want to tell my friends♡

Ikebukuro area/5 min from the station/Convenient to Shinjuku and Shibuya 1F

민서Rating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
It's nice to have a hot spring near the house! Family Mart and 7-Eleven are about a 1-3 minute walk away!! It's a little far to walk to Ikebukuro Station, but Kanamecho Station is really close! Still, I think the location of the accommodation is good because Ikebukuro is a limited stop by subway and you get used to the way on foot quickly.👍 I also like that the host responds really quickly and kindly!!! This is an accommodation I'd like to use again next time. Good Oh!!! But I don't think there was a curling iron. We took it with us and there was no problem ~ ~

We had an incredible stay! Makoto was so welcoming and helped us feel right at home. We loved the neighborhood as well - we felt like temporary locals and got great recommendations from Makoto. The place was supremely clean, the kitchen was well-stocked (we had breakfast there every day and cooked a full dinner one evening), and the apartment felt very spacious for 4 adults. We loved meeting Makoto who showed us the beautiful cherry blossoms and made our stay extra enjoyable! Thank you!!

Your guide to Japan

Welcome to Japan

Whether you’re new to Japan or you’ve traveled here many times, this country of 430 inhabited islands will unveil a new facet at every turn. You can take in the lakes and shrines surrounding Mount Fuji, the brilliant building-high signs of Osaka, the ancient temples of Kyoto, and the avant-garde architecture on remote Naoshima Island. Tokyo is a feast for urban aesthetes, with globally chic design stores, fashion boutiques, and cocktail bars, while the dramatic gorges and vapor-wrapped volcanos of Hokkaido’s national parks will thrill lovers of the outdoors.

It’s hard not to make Japanese cuisine a cornerstone of your visit, whether you’re sampling your way through regional styles of ramen or honoring the season’s most evocative ingredients with an elegant kaiseki meal. The twin assets of Japanese hospitality and the country’s well-designed infrastructure make it easy to experience Japan’s many delights, traveling between megacities and remote coastal villages.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Japan

Though it’s hard to make generalizations about an archipelago that stretches 1,900 miles, Japan is generally considered to have a temperate subtropical climate, with hot, humid summers, cool but mild winters, and a distinct spring and fall. The farther from Tokyo you travel, of course, the more you’ll want to consult local conditions. The climate in the snowy northern island of Hokkaido — where winter temperatures dip below freezing for a month or two — can be quite different from that of semi-tropical Okinawa in the south, where humid 90-degree summer days are the norm. On the main island of Honshu, spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) are the most comfortable, not to mention the most popular times to visit. The landscape is at its most expressive then, especially during Japan’s famed cherry-blossom season in late March and early April. If you are traveling to Japan in late summer, monitor the weather reports for tropical cyclones blowing in from the Pacific Ocean, and keep in mind, September and October are the height of the country’s rain season, so bring waterproof outerwear as well as indoor plans.


Top things to do in Japan

Kyoto’s Higashiyama District

As the imperial seat for more than a millennium, Kyoto has preserved hundreds of stunning temples, palaces, gardens, and of course, the legendary geisha districts. The historic Higashiyama District is one of the most atmospheric corners in this tradition-minded city, and you can spend hours wandering down narrow streets lined with wood-frame houses and centuries-old artisan shops, darting into side streets to peek in small shrines, before visiting the 1,200-year-old Kiyomizudera temple, with its terrace overlooking downtown. Higashiyama shines brightest during the 10-day Hanatoro festival in March, when thousands of paper lanterns appear.

Hiking in the Japanese Alps

Seventy percent of Japan’s landmass is covered in mountain ranges, which curve along the entire sweep of the archipelago. One of the most glorious spots in the northern Japanese Alps is the 673-square-mile Chūbu-Sangaku National Park, located between Toyama and Nagano, 150 miles northwest of Tokyo. In the summer, you can hike along the Azusa river at Kamikochi, seek out the hot springs around Okuhida, or if you’re an experienced mountaineer, trek from mountain hut to mountain hut (make reservations beforehand). In winter, skiers and snowboarders make pilgrimages to the resorts at Hakuba.

Island-Hopping in Okinawa

If you don’t think of traveling to Japan for sublime beach time, you’ve never visited the Okinawan archipelago at the southern end of Japan. Using Okinawa City as your base, you can take ferries or short flights to reach some of its 160 far-flung islands. Go snorkeling in the clear turquoise waters surrounding Tokashiki Island, where clownfish and butterfly fish dart among the coral reefs. Loll on the powdery white-sand beaches of Hateruma Island. Wander around historic houses with tiled roofs and sculptures on Taketomi Island. Everywhere you go, you can sample Okinawa’s distinctive Ryukyuan cuisine, which incorporates influences from China and southeast Asia.
