The accommodation is very well kept and beautifully traditional - warm and cozy and lots of space. The surrounding area is quiet and peaceful and there are attractions nearby including an amusement park within 5 minutes walk. By train it is about 1.5 hours to Tokyo center and getting to the train is a short walk. There are house rules that need to be followed including washing and recycling of plastics and cleaning needs to be done yourself. Hotaka is very nice but does ask and check that the rules are followed. Overall, a pleasant stay and a truly nice interior design.
