The most wonderful gem to be found in the mountains. 10/10 in every way possible!

10.0

It was situated in this most beautiful, densely forested valley. The house was traditional and had a fantastic atmosphere to it. The couple running the guesthouse are just beautiful and warm and it was a genuine pleasure to interact with them every time we did. The breakfast was traditional and consisted of entirely local ingredients. The eggs provided were particularly outstanding — having come from the proprietor's own chickens, they must have been the freshest eggs I had eaten in my entire life and became so wonderfully frothy when mixed with the rice. It was by far the best airbnb we stayed at during our entire trip to Japan, and I pray I will return soon to stay longer. From Emma and Laura to our hosts: much love from Scotland! We still think about you and Noah!

Literally nothing could have been improved about our stay except the fact we only stayed one night when we should have stayed a week!

Most amazing hosts! Their kindness and openness was truly heartwarming and I am really thankful! They showed me around in the city and showed my their chickens! The ingredients we bought from them was truly delicious and the property was so cosy with a fireplace. I had an amazing time and can only recommend.

不便さが逆に心地よく感じる独特の快適さ

10.0

犬と一緒に部屋でゆっくり過ごせることが何よりもありがたかったです。オーナーさんご一家がおおらかで温かく、宿泊施設に泊まったというよりも、親戚の家に遊びに行ったようなアットホームさがありました。すべてが揃って快適というのではなくて、少し不便な中でも生活の知恵と共に古い家を大切に使う体験をすることで、独特の快適さを味わえます。薪ストーブも新鮮でした。また、周りの環境も自然を満喫出来てすがすがしかったです。オーナーさんが養鶏をされているので、新鮮な卵で食べる朝食の卵かけご飯も美味しかったです。

良くないというわけではないですが、奈良方面から宿に向かう道は特に長い山道となるので、雪が降ると道に雪が積もったり、視界が悪くなり、車で向かうのは覚悟が要ります。宿にはシャワーだけしかないので、湯船にゆっくり入りたければ、19時まで入場できる近くの温泉施設に間に合う時間に到着した方が良いです。

Eine Entdeckung auf dem Land! Herrliches rustikales Haus das von einer herzlichen Familie vermietet wird. Die Gastgeber kümmern sich mit Hingabe um ihre Gäste und haben uns gute Tipps zu Wanderungen und Restaurants in der Umgebung. Schönes Frühstück mit Eiern der eigenen Hühner. Ein wunderschönes Erlebnis in einer beeindruckenden Gegend. Absolute Empfehlung!
