Excelente acomodación

Nuestra experiencia ha sido muy buena. Lo mejor el señor, amigable y atento! Muchas gracias, le deseamos mucho éxito ya que se nota que hace las cosas con cariño (incluso salió a asegurarse que no perdíamos el bus). La casa es acogedora y la decoración no te deja indiferente (corales, objetos típicos japoneses...). Tienen la opción de comprar cosas variadas por si gustas de comer algo ahí. La habitación es realmente grande, cómoda y limpia.

かゆいところに手が届いてる！コスパ最高！おすすめの宿。

トイレ、シャワールームや洗面台など水回りを含め、全てが清潔に保たれていました。 バスタオル、フェイスタオルあり。洗面台まわりには紙コップ、歯ブラシ、綿棒、ティッシュ、ドライヤーあり。 シャワールームにはシャンプー、ボディソープ、メイク落とし洗顔料あり。 フリードリンクはお茶、紅茶のティーパックにネスカフェバリスタのコーヒー。ホットだけかと思いきや、氷の用意もあり。 欲しいなと思う物はだいたい揃っており、う〜ん…かゆいところに手が届いている！！ なにより、オーナー夫妻のお人柄が温かく、初めてお邪魔したのに不思議と「はぁ〜帰ってきたなぁ♪」と感じるくらいリラックスできました。 食事は朝8〜10時、夜7〜9時の間でうどんや丼物を良心的な価格で用意していただけます。小さい子ども連れでしたので、とても助かりました！ こちらの宿を知ってしまうと、高いホテルや旅館に宿泊するのがばかばかしく感じてしまいます。 他の客室の物音や話し声は聞こえますので、神経質な方には不向きかもしれません。

過去の旅行の中で一番暖かく落ち着ける宿泊施設でした。まるで実家か親戚の家か…というくらい 良い意味で家感がすごい★ 軽食も簡単な物ばかりではありますが、レトルトではなく店主自らの手作りばかりで 全て美味しかった。ここのソフトクリームも最高です♬ 建物自体は古いけど 観光名所からも近いし不潔さも無く、店主の人の良さが伝わります。 二泊三日の旅行の中で小学生の子供達が【一番気に入った】と言う場所が『泊まらせてくれたおじちゃんの家』でした。 個人の意見なので万人が同じではないでしょうが 普段から何かと難癖の多い母も『また来たい』と言うほど 我家にとってはとても素敵な宿でした

Very unique guesthouse. its the only guesthouse that we stayed in throughout our 10 days trip. Amenities are great and clean. We once worried it would be a bit noisy as its an old japanese house with thin walls, sitting right at the intersection and entrance of the famous Sandanbeki, turned out we both agreed we had the best quality of sleep, even better than the hotels and onsen ryokan that we stayed at. Love the smell of tatami in the room ! Owners are friendly and helpful ! overall a very nice experience, not to mention its really cheap price ! sadly we had to leave very early morning to go to Katsuura for the Tuna auction , Highly recommended !

普通の民宿やホテルとは違いバックパッカーの人が泊まるような宿です。基本的に食事はなく、自炊もしくは時前です。トイレ、部屋、手作り感のある年期の入った建物ですが、清潔感がありアメニティもあり、フリードリンク、冷蔵庫の中にフリーのソースなんかもありました。実家に帰ったような感じでとても居心地よかったです。
