脇本陣 (WAKIHONJIN)

LauraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.

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!

A family-friendly guest house in the countryside

motoRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

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!

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

LeisaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
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

RebeccaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
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.
The exterior view showcases a modern building with a dark facade and a textured gray wall. A small window is visible on the side, and the surrounding area features a minimalist landscape design with stone pathways and grassy patches.

【Shinjuku 10min walk】The smallest unit but cheap31

DaveRating, 5 stars4 months ago
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.

Onsen no yado Gion Maisen Bettei

Edwin Rating, 5 stars5 months ago
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.
