Every room at this guest house is air conditioned and comes with a flat-screen TV. Views of the mountains, river or garden are featured in certain rooms.

The place is nice and cozy. The hosts were very helpful and shared a lot of tips how we can make the most our trip. Since we're leaving very early to go back to Tokyo, they even drove us to the train station - really appreciate that since there's no taxi available and quite cold outside.

    Great hosts who went out of their way to make our stay very comfortable. Spotless house, quiet location, beautiful touches to make it feel homely, an awesome bath that stays hot and fills automatically- the best bath I have ever had! Hosts had information including timetables for buses, shows at edo wonderland at their finger tips. Walking distance - 5mins to bus stop and only 10mins tops to train station. Host also took us to the train station in their private car - very friendly, polite and helpful. Loved our stay and wish we stayed longer.

    Great location for visiting the shrines and temples. Quiet and cosy, old style and comforting. Free tea and coffee and use of tableware if you want to eat your own food. Friendly owner with great advice about where to visit and where to eat. Spotless shared washrooms. Great private Japanese style baths for a good soak at the end of the day. Easy access by bus from the station. I enjoyed the breakfast of toast, an egg, fruit, and coffee (not included in my room price); it was perhaps a little pricey but very convenient.

    Guest house was in a great location, really close to the train station and a family mart. The host was really friendly and helped us plan a hike with bus times and a guide he prepared himself. The toilets were modern and clean.

    Great hostel, the onsen is a super plus! Super clean and well organized. Home feeling even if it's a big hostel from a big hostels chain.

    Great hosts, location close to shops and lakes ( my room had an attractive lake view), and although it is a fairly compact guest house my room was a good size and each room has its own designated shower and toilet cubicle. You have a short walk to a Shinto shrine currently hosting a Treasures of Japan exhibition and the entry there of a walk that is long and testing to the top of Mt Nantai. Or take the bus up to the much easier walks of the wetlands or other attractions.
