We (family of 4 with 4 and 6 year old kids) stayed for 2 nights over new tear eve at Uchimura san's place and we all enjoyed the stay. The room is sparkling clean and has very unique character. Although it is not particularly close from the nearest station, the area has nice community and great shopping mall near by. Most importantly Uchimura san's and his family offered great hospitality and our family really felt like we were at home. Highly recommend it to those who want to experience traditional culture in Japan.
