The innkeeper is an artist and she acts as your surrogate mother while you are here. Be sure to ask for room 203 which is set up as a traditional Japanese living room. She and her husband got up in the middle of the night to see me off. I couldn't recommend more highly.

Wonderful hostel with thoughtful touches and delicious breakfast. Staff went above and beyond to help and make our stay comfortable, even finding and accompanying me to a clinic to help translate when I needed to see a doctor. I am so grateful for their hospitality!

The hosts were very friendly and helpful and kind to our children; they made the stay feel like a family visit. We loved the big room with comfy beds and a tatami breakfast area. We also liked the onsen-style private bathroom. The breakfast was delicious and different every day. The location was in a small quiet street close to the bus- and train station, and for the people with more stamina even within walking distance of the old town and central shopping areas.

It was such a cute place nice Japanese design. We definitely got the kyoto vibe right when we walked in. The living room and bedroom was spacious compared to other places in Japan. It was clean and looked fully equipt with a kitchen and laundry. Check in and check out was really convenient with a lockbox. The location is also a bonus and walking distance to many restaurants, like Uzu vegan ramen. We really enjoyed this place and would recommend it!

    The guesthouse is beautifully decorated and mostly self-built by the host couple. They offered a free welcome drink and we could play pool for free. The rooms are anime themed which also was pretty cool. The host couple was very welcoming and helpful. They really went out of their way for us.
