Basic but good. Most of the things you’d need for a short stay and get a feel for Japanese living. If you’re into hiking this is brilliant. I did a 5 mile route through the forest, mountains and temples. Also only 14 min walk to train station to get downtown. Fabulous little sushi restaurant at the end of the street and 3 supermarkets in 10 mins walk.

WiFi was rubbish, a little mobile data unit that didn’t really connect very well. Better off to get an e-sim from someone like ByteSim.

We enjoyed the various rooms. Plenty of room to enjoy some quiet time. Enjoyed the kettle. The house and the neighborhood were exactly what we were wanting to experience.

We didn't enjoy the stairs. Very steep and narrow. A few banged shins and walked down sideways to avoid falling. Handrail was present but definitely not for someone who may already struggle with stairs. Important information for booking.

Beautiful old style house with many comfortable rooms and a slightly creepy vibe. The dolls in the living room were a definite plus. All amenities for a shorter or longer stay were available as well, with cute accents like a Moomin mug.

All was good!

Futons were slightly stiff. Hardly a complaint worth mentioning.

Japanese house

It’s a nice house, but I guess the furnishing can be a bit better

The traditional vibe of the house, loved it.

The dolls at the living room were a bit creepy tho.

The house was very cute and clean. I liked the deep tub and the shower seperate combination. The beds were very comfortable and the living room was also nice for conversing. We got there later in the evening.

I didnt like that the the stair leading upstairs were so narrow. I am pregnant so it was a little sketchy. And their dryer doesn't work, my husband was banking on using this place we stayed at to be able to do laundry, we had to take it to the next hotel damp. The deep tub's paint is chipping and it felt a bit uncomfortable when sitting in it.

The location(quiet &residential neighborhood ) and the fact that it was a whole japanese house. It is quite spacious. Tall people will bang their heads everywhere but that is in all these houses the same. AC and washing machine worked well. Plenty of space to do your laundry and there is a dryer too. So good spot to chill coming from touristy areas. Host is a responsive guy from the US. We did not meer but he was helpful. There were good manuals and maps with directions for shops, restaurants. We rented bikes! Not sure if there are many busses running. You might want to check this.

The state of the house. Kitchen and bathroom are very old. The whole house needs restorations and repairs. Everything works and is clean though and there are cooking utensils is you want to make supper. We had been in several japanese houses and ryokans prior and than this house is not very special. It does not have any old details from the edo period. It is just a japanese house with japanese rooms, bathroom and furniture and old stuff. If you do not mind an old kitchen, bathroom, wall paper and so on then this house is more than fine. I guess it was cheaper than better decorated houses too. The futons were too thin. Again, we had slept on several prior ans these ones were vrry uncomfertable. The kids were fine in the western style bed.

Spacious typical house, with many rooms, ideal for 4 people. Parking available.

It was terrible to enter the house and smell the old odor. The house needs a thorough cleaning. Everything smells old, both the upholstery and inside the closets. We didn't use the kitchen because it seemed very dirty. The ground floor is very gloomy and has little light.
