11 June 2009 Anna would recommend this property

Liked: The owner is so unbelievable lovely. Although she can't speak much English, she made us feel unbelievably welcome and even dropped us and our huge bags down to the railway station when we left. It's a bit of a walk to the lodge, but fully worth it. Loved all her craft she had around the lodge - made it feel so homely!

Kelly McMillan

07 May 2009 Kelly would recommend this property

Liked: This is a great little place for an authentic Japanese stay. It has a cute and cottagey atmosphere. The staff are lovely and speak some English. Breakfast wasn't advertised anywhere, but we asked and were given a feast for only 500 yen. We felt extremely welcome. And the futons were thickly-padded and comfortable (very important for me!) Two thumbs-up.

Chelsea Horton

01 December 2007 Chelsea would recommend this property

Liked: The lady in charge of the hotel was amazing! She looked at my reservation, greeted me with my name, showed us around the entire building, and helped us figure out what we might want to do the night we got in. She tended to speak a mix of English and Japanese, so even if your Japanese isn't that good, she'd probably be happy to attempt to translate things into English. The room we stayed in was a tradiational tatami mat room with futons: lovely and comfortable, complete with a closet, TV, table, and side room to change in, if you're staying with a friend. All and all, I loved this place! Though, if you get in at night, I would recommend using a taxi to get there, because it is dark in that area and there are very few street lamps.

Disliked: Chelsea left no negative feedback.
