立地が良くて、どこに行くのにも便利でした。必要な物はすべて揃っているし、洗濯乾燥機があるのがとても良かったです。

家の中に誰か入ってきたのかと思うくらい、隣の家のドアの開け閉め音が聞こえました。外からの音や声がけっこう聞こえるのが気になりました。

Authentic Japanese house but quite tired and not best value for money.

6.0

This was a characterful Japanese house in a good location. It wasn't the easiest to find as only a small sign and not really on the map but we did manage that OK. We didn't need to contact the host during our stay. The property was very cold when we arrived and it took some time to get warm. We stayed at the beginning of April. Luckily our son is living in Japan and he knew how the table heater and other heaters would work - would have been more challenging without him. The futon beds were very comfortable and the bedlinen clean.

The furniture is quite tired and considering it is recommended for up to 7 people there were not enough cups and glasses for example. It was good to experience a more traditional house but I was expecting more for the money. If the furnishings and equipment had been better, OR the pricing lower I would have rated higher.
