Great Location specially for People traveling with JR pass. Is a real House from someone and not a place specially prepared for tourists, which we really appreciated because it gives you a homy feeling. Chie was a super nice host, we met her shortly and she was very kind, she also answered very fast to the few questions we had. We traveled with a 6 month Baby and Chie prepared a futon for the Baby to sleep which worked perfectly. However, the House is only suitable for babys who don’t move yet. I found really nice that Chie told me about the stairs before accepting my reservation. The only downside was that we paid 50% more than in other places we stayed before and felt that the price difference wasn’t really worth it for what we got. Mainly because the house was smaller and darker than those other places. But still a very nice experience which we enjoyed. Thank you!
