Places to stay in Japan

Six friends from Australia, were fortunate to stay at Rumi and Roberto wonderful B & B in the mountain slopes of Bessho onsen in the district of Ueda. 4 days of exploring the area, recommended eateries, onsons, galleries gave us an insight into a unique Japanese lifestyle. Friendly people made us feel welcome and we soon overcame the language differences by a mixture of hand signs and attempts at basic Japanese. The hospitality of Rumi and her recommended places to eat was outstanding. This has been a great start to journey in Japan. It has set the tone for the coming weeks. Thank you Rumi and Roberto.

House is quiet in the night, gives you a peaceful place to rest and relax after your sun up activities! Enough room in the house for walk about, and spending family time.

Great house for our large snowboarding group! Good distance from Niseko! 10/10 stay again!

this was THE BEST air bnb we ever stayed in. she was so thoughtful. not only did she give local recommendations, but also even left bandages, and shower towels, hair caps and all sorts of items just in case we needed them. she was so so kind and so lovely. I would definitely recommend to anyone else. if I'm back in Kyoto I would love to stay here again

This is a great place for a large family. The area is peaceful and close to Skytree. We will be coming back!

My friends and I had a wonderful time here. It is in a very peaceful neighborhood & close to a station. The house had all necessary amenities. The host was very kind & responsive. Highly recommend!

Mei's Airbnb was the perfect place for our group of 6. The house was spacious, clean and exactly what we expected. The location of the Airbnb was great as well since it was within walking distance to stations, restaurants and malls. I would stay here again the next time we come back!

Absolutely lovely place to stay. Junko and Philip were amazing hosts and made us feel right at home. It was a great place to adjust to the time difference after such a long journey and the beds are some of the coziest I’ve ever seen! There are beautiful walks very close by, Philip suggested biking routes and walks which was very helpful and Junko was so lovely and helpful messaging us the easiest way to get there from Tokyo! Nara is a 10 minute train ride away so we did a couple of day trips there. The supermarket is in walking distance and has a huge variety of vegetables and food. Thank you so much for being so accommodating and lovely! :)

Really nice home in the heart of Hakuba, we could drive to all mountains easily and the fireplace was certainly the big feature for us, would highly recommend!

Great hosts; very responsive & helpful with recommendations. Loved the hospitality. Home was as mentioned & had all the necessary equipment. Quiet location to come home to after spending the day at the big suburbs ie Ginza , Shibuya etc. Short walk to KitaIkebukuro station which has good connectivity on the JR lines. Highly recommended!

The place was great. Around 10 minutes walk from the station. Big living room and kitchen.

This is a a very unique house with a spacious feel, conveniently located 5mins walking from Tsutenkaku. The house is very clean and hygienic, with thoughtful details from the host everywhere you can feel it . Transportation is very convenient. I will definitely stay here again next time when I visit Osaka!

We had a very pleasant time.We'd love to stay again.Thank you!

It was a lovely place to stay with a nice host.Thank you very much.

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.

Fantastic stay...we loved the wood smell, the attention to detail and the kids loved the sliding doors and availability of Tatami mats. Very comfortable, easy, and would stay again.

I have stayed in Japanese homestays many times before, including housebuilding and apartments, this time the apartment is the best experience.First of all, it is a short walk from the station/subway, and it is very convenient to go anywhere.Second, there are Tsutenkaku nearby, and there are many options for eating and drinking small wine.The host also warmly recommended several supermarkets, buy good value for money fresh fish at the nearby supermarket, beef, salmon, roast beef freedom.Finally, this apartment is very spacious, the single bed is spacious and not Japanese at all, the tatami room can make three mattresses, there is no problem with staying 5 or 6 people.A typical Japanese overall bathing room, private bathroom, clean and tidy.The open kitchen is connected to the living room, and it should be comfortable for a family or friends to have a meal here, all in all a great homestay.I don't know if the prices will be lower in non cherry blossom seasons, that's even better

We really enjoyed our stay here! Cabin had everything we needed and was close to the free shuttle and close enough to walk into main Hirafu. Great stay!

Gorgeous place in a small town on the quiet side of the island right by Ohko waterfall and the World Heritage coastal wildlife road. It was a little challenging to find the place and parking, but there was plenty of space once found. You need to pay close attention to the instructions about the front door, which can be a little annoying because everyone in my group kept asking me how to open it from the inside. I preferred to use the rear door myself. The kitchen area was excellent and well laid out and the dining table was made for group meals. I don't normally play video games, but was surprised to see a PS5 in the entertainment center and played a little Gran Turismo 7. The TV was huge! The bathroom layout was great but a surprise for my group was how excellent the washer/dryer worked! 2 hours and a full load is clean and dry! The only downside to this place is that the location is further from the mountain hiking access points in Anbo & Miyanoura, but not the fault of the place

This is a serviced apartment-style room near Nishinakajima Minamigata Station on the Midosuji Line. It feels like a homemade room specialized for 1-2 people, and it's spacious and comfortable. The toilet, bathroom, and washroom are separated. The cleaning is clean, and thanks to the washing machine and detergent, you don't have to worry about laundry. However, the space to dry is a little ambiguous, so it is recommended to have a folding drying rack at Daiso. One regret is the soundproofing, but there is a railway nearby. You can sometimes hear the sound of the crossing beacon and the train at night. After spending a few days, it was accepted like a white noise that made me feel at ease. The neighborhood itself is not a tourist destination, so no one is noisy until late. Nearby, there is a convenience store across from one crosswalk, and a pharmacy across the street. There's also a 24-hour family restaurant across the railroad tracks. If you walk 5 minutes from the accommodation, it's entrance 1. Midosuji Line is the best transportation to go anywhere in sightseeing and shopping in Osaka. You can use Namba Station, Shinsaibashi Station, and Umeda Station with Dotonbori without a single transfer, and the dispatch interval is short, so it's okay to miss it. The last train is also until after midnight, so it's relaxing. The hosts are also very friendly Basic communication is also very smooth, and you are based on Korean and English instructions. If you're traveling to Osaka for the first time, you can also recommend nearby attractions or restaurants, so please check it out.

We loved this place! Very easy to find and access, greta use of amenities and the room was beautiful and quiet. Very friendly and accommodating. Thanks!

The response was quick, polite, and very nice.I'd love to go again if I get the chance to go nearby again.

We stayed 6 nights and it was a very comfortable stay with gorgeous scenery. When the snow was quite heavy in the morning a lovely man cleared the driveway and our car which was a very nice gesture. Great place to base when visiting Rustusu. Plenty food options in Lake Toya town but must have a car for convenience. Overall lovely stay! Thank you so much

Such a lovely place. Accessible and clean, nice host too. Will surely go back
