This has been one of my favorite Airbnbs I have ever stayed at for a couple of reasons.
1. The location is just peaceful and beautiful. It is in a small town with cute little restaurants, bakeries, and a walkable distance to beautiful sceneries. The neighborhood is quiet, and the people are kind and welcoming. You'll always see someone walking or biking.
2. Hotaka has been an absolute angel. I met some beautiful souls on this trip and shared some meals with them because of Hotaka. She has been so welcoming and kind with sharing stories. Her explanations about the house were straightforward. Her recommendations were spot on with where to eat and things to do in the neighborhood. I wish I knew more Japanese to communicate more comfortably with her. She is someone whom you will never forget.
This trip was a blessing in disguise, and I can't wait to revisit it before I head back to the states. Thank you again, Hotaka!
