Farmhouse Guest House Road
I was deeply touched by the majesty and grandeur of the hills and forests around Masayuki's place - had chosen to stay here because of the pictute of the rice fields but did not realize that this was a village tucked inside immensely beautiful hills. Greatly enjoyed the silence and walking around in the farm. Masyuki's family and friends are very warm hosts and their place is very beautifully created. Would love to come back.

TAKIO 3 guesthouse
Makoto-san was such an amazing person. He drove me to the metro station when i checked out and he greeted me when i get off the metro to check in as well. I was so sad that i only had 2 nights there. When i come back to Japan, this is a place that i will definetely come back to, even just to say hi and do things together again. He prepared us all a map he did by hand and it was the most helpful and cutest thing ever! His reccomendations were on point and delicios. He plans events and has a calendar of it so there is almost always things to do with him and it's so fun! Overall this stay was amazing and i am so grateful that i got to stay here. Thank you so much Makoto-san!

【excellent access】5 minute train ride to Kobe
Amy is the perfect host, amazing communication, very proactive in sharing local activities and sights and open for a good chat. The location is quiet and walkable to multiple stations and shopping. Room is clean, has good Aircon and opening windows for ventilation, shades that are to block out all light and plenty of power sockets to charge all your devices. Bathroom has a very powerful shower and there are very soft and fluffy towels. We had a great stay made better with all the useful tips and great talks about food and travel, definitely recommend staying here to explore Kobe, Osaka and around.
