Luxury Villa UMIHOTARU in Fukuoka
Conveniently located next to the parking gate. The house is large and bright enough to accommodate 6 people. Toiletries, cleaning supplies, and plenty of towels. There are many stoves, pots, and cups and dishes. The homeowner also has coffee and tea ready for the stay. Overall: highly recommend

脇本陣 (WAKIHONJIN)
We loved our stay at Michi's guest house! The building is large and well furnished. although there were only two of us, I can see that this would be a great place for families to stay, but keep in mind that the beds are all in one large room. We initially had trouble getting the Wi-Fi to work, but Michi quickly replaced the router and we were online. The house is surrounded by rice fields and I loved seeing large water birds hunting for frogs. And the frogs are abundant, judging by their voices. Although we never managed to see one, they sang us to sleep every night.

Tabist Pension Third Place Mezonet Sweet East
6 adults stayed there!The interior was also clean, and it was a very pleasant stay.It was close to the sea and the location was great!I want to use it again☺.

Organic Farm Stay [Stay without meals] Limited to one group per day
A farmhouse in a rural location with shrines and temples nearby. Local onsens and cherry blossom. We had great practice making fires in our wood fired heater - very cosy. The host cooked us a delicious home-cooked dinner of local specialities and also gave us some of her homemade plum wine - oishi desu yo!

Brown's Field Earthen wall Cottage
A quiet inn in the countryside. Heal from all five senses with the sound of insects, cats and goats, greenery and flowers, and delicious and healthy food. It reminds me that I am also part of nature.

A family-friendly guest house in the countryside
I traveled with a couple and a one-year-old baby, four people in total. The bedroom on the second floor of the annex has a steep staircase, so out of consideration, my friends and family stayed in the main building.They seemed very satisfied to be able to run around the hall and play with the toys in the main building until the last minute. They provided a hot water bottle for the futon, and it was really warm and I was grateful for it. The morning coffee was really delicious! I gave the location 4 stars because it was raining and I couldn't walk around, but I thought it was a very quiet and safe environment. This is a place I'd like to stay again!

Cottage Kutsuroki B
Great place to stay and spacious enough to sleep 3 people. Very clean and appreciated the towel change each day. Nice location walking distance from many restaurants in Anbo. Highly recommended for a few nights in Yakushima.
Guest house rentals with a patio

Madarao resort is a 2-minute walk. Wake up to a sea of clouds and sunrise from the window
What a beautiful house, with the most amazing hosts (and the view just cannot be beat!). We absolutely loved our week at Shigeo’s house. It’s very well located, and the house had everything we needed. Shigeo has been so helpful our entire stay and goes above and beyond for his guests. We can’t wait to visit again!

[Private Villa] Up to 10 people 4BR, BBQ on Marine View Terrace
I used it with 7 adults and children, but I had a satisfying stay.

④ [Simple Stay] BBQ grill on the marine view terrace for up to 10 people
This villa was even better than we expected — seriously exceeded all our expectations! For the price, it was an absolute steal. The check-in process was smooth and effortless, which made everything stress-free from the start. The place was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need (and more!), making our stay super comfortable. It’s clear a lot of thought was put into every detail. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again without hesitation!

Kagura-no-Toto Ancient Kominka House [Kagura-no-Stay] Kagura-no-Kura (Kura stay) with breakfast for 2 and optional sauna
Five stars isn’t enough, the perfect relaxing location! Surrounds are so beautiful and peaceful and the sauna/spa was the best part of our Japan trip. Muto was so helpful and made sure we had everything we needed, from collecting us at the train station to taking us to the beach, as well as cooking delicious breakfasts and some of the best cakes we have ever eaten. The accomodation is of a luxury standard, but feels very intimate and cozy. Lying in the bath looking out into nature is a truly special experience that we will not forget.

[No men only accommodation/Hideaway in a great location for sightseeing in Kanazawa!] Nesuto Kanazawa Musashi
Moe’s ‘little nest’ is in the heart of Kanazawa, 5 minutes walk from the Omicho market, and no more than 20 minutes walk from all of the main tourist districts, and less to the station. Although there are bus stops a couple of minutes away which serve the whole city. Moe is absolutely delightful - it was a real privilege to listen to Moe’s insight about her beautiful city and region. The accommodation is at the back of a wonderfully restored historic townhouse, and once through the hall, the zen garden and studio are completely self contained and very private. You can sit and drink tea in the garden yet have no idea you are in the city. Moe has thought of everything, and within a small space there is a full kitchen, everything you need to cook, a dining table, a mezzanine sitting area, and a full 21st century bathroom with bidet toilet and self-filling bath. Oh, and a very comfortable bed. I slept so well. It’s a truly special place. Kanazawa is a wonderful city. Moe is a fabulous.

① [Staying] BBQ grill on the terrace, 4 bedrooms
It was a beautiful room as pictured.It was so well equipped that it was a waste to stay only one night.

【Shinjuku 10min walk】The smallest unit but cheap31
Perfect space for one person. The vicinity to Shinjuku station, Kabukicho, restaurants and shops were a huge plus. Everything I wanted was within 5-15 minutes away by walking. Kasha was very quick to respond and they allowed me to check in two hours early because I’d arrived in Tokyo earlier than expected. Everything that I needed was available for me to to use as well which was extremely helpful (iron, laundry detergent, laundry basket, deodorizer) and the laundry machines were free to use so I saved some money by not going to a coin laundry. The only negative I can think of is how loud the neighbours were. Obviously this is out of the host’s control and it’s expected when you’re staying at a hotel that some other guests can sometimes be loud or annoying but it seemed like whoever was staying in the unit next to me would be speaking very loudly to someone else on speaker phone and I could hear them through the walls. Luckily they didn’t do this late at night so I slept fine.

Experience the ultimate relaxation in a semi-open-air bath while taking in the stunning ocean view.
Very nice host, good food for breakfast😋

Hanare Kyoto Hachijoguchi
Fantastic location and updated flat. It could not be any nicer of an apartment. Upscale and modern design!!

Onsen no yado Gion Maisen Bettei
very spacious place, we were surprised by the space when we came in. the location is fantastic, right in the heart of Gion and everything was very accessible. Our host was gracious to show us everything we needed to know about the place. Finally, it's on the 2nd floor with a staircase to get up and there are two keypadded doors to get through. This can be a little bit of extra work compared to staying at a hotel but worth the trade off.

Cozy house/Ishigaki Okinawa JPN/discount OK
The host, Shin, was very polite and welcoming from the time of booking to check-out. It rained during my stay, so I didn't get to enjoy the sea and starry sky that I was looking forward to, but I really enjoyed Ishigaki Island and I want to go to Ishigaki Island again!It was thanks to Shin. Thank you so much for coming!

Loft on top of a machiya
We loved this place, it was so beautiful and lots of space, more than we even anticipated! There was an abundance of amenities and it was gorgeous and well decorated. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Hanazean_Hanarean

Entire Building A for Rent/Fully Equipped with Automatic Washing Machine/Suitable for Children Izumo
The hosts were very responsive and helpful. They gave us lots of recommendations for nearby services and their directions were clear. The house is beautiful, very clean and can easily accommodate a family. The kitchen is very well equipped as well as the bathroom. We had a strong connection right from the start.
