We absolutely loved staying in this very cosy real old style japanese house! Akane and Mitsu were very welcoming and helpful even introducing our 16 year old to the local cento (he loved it). It is very easy to get the local transport into the tourist spots but also lovely to get away from the hustle and bustle. The Kotatsu was wonderful on the cold nights, we would have loved more time just to stay in that lovely house.
