Comfortable and Cozy

“I loved the bunk-style room I stayed in. It had a simple yet homey feel, with a comfortable bed set up on the tatami mat floor. The little kitchen area with a kettle, tea, and cups added a nice touch to my stay. Overall, it was a great balance of comfort and style!” view full review

Delicious Breakfast Options

“The breakfast spread at the guesthouse was fantastic! I enjoyed the complimentary toast, yogurt, and fresh fruit every morning. However, I highly recommend ordering the traditional Japanese breakfast- the mackerel was truly the best piece of fish I've had in my life!” view full review

Well-Equipped Rooms

“My room was well-equipped with essential amenities. It featured a TV, reliable air conditioning, and a small bathroom amenity section, which really made my stay feel comfortable. Plus, the in-room bathroom, although simple, had excellent hot water and pressure for showers.” view full review

Great Common Areas

“The common area was a perfect spot to socialize, read, or just relax. They had a great selection of travel books and novels in multiple languages. It was a comfortable environment where I could unwind after a day exploring-the perfect mix of lively and quiet depending on who was around!” view full review
