Self Catering Accommodation in Kakegawa

pros - Quite nice location next to castle - Rooftop was a nice touch but it was too cold we didn’t use it - recently renovated (but bath system is quite old) - House manual very easy to navigate and understand - Smart tv was convenient but placed where you can’t see from the sofa, you have to sit on the stools to watch - place was stylish, clean and well organized cons - host automatic messaged us almost everyday weeks prior to our stay reminding us to complete guest forms and how we can't park on the road momentarily to unload, but failed to provide door code a day before check in as stated. A few hours before check in I had to ask and they replied quite promptly. - check in time was 3-5pm. I don't understand that as this is a self check in property. they asked if we were checked in at 5:08pm, we didn't until 6 something and I let them know when we did, but that was weird. - Located on 3rd floor with narrow staircase. Do not recommend for those with large/multiple luggage. Not being allowed to do short brief stop on the road to unload is troublesome. allocated carpark (extra charge) is the next block over - balcony sliding glass doors were locked, we weren’t able to open them to let in some air - Hot water seems to max out at around 40degrees. Even if you set it higher at 45, it still comes out around 40 and takes ages to warm up - We booked and paid for 3 people, but only the double bed was made. We had to make the futon bed ourselves after a long tiring day which was a first for us. The host doesn’t seem to take note about the number of guests and just provide their usual minimum standard.

Well maintained facilities Very clear illuminated sign at the facility entrance

We think the place is nice and very spacious and quiet. There are even a microwave and a small kitchen. The host was very friendly. He even brought us to the station with his car. Communication was also quick and without complications. Internet works also well in the location. The downside was that the room and the toilet were not clean and it seemed that they have not been cleaned for a while. Though the bed sheets and the towels were fresh. If you are a big group with a low travel budget it’s a great place to stay because there are a lot of beds. Some serious cleaning would make this place a great stay.

With Hinata's kindness and introduction to the surroundings, it became an unforgettable trip for the rest of my life. It was really nice. I want to keep it to myself!

Staff were very helpful , and went above and beyond

Beautiful house, had more than everything we needed. Hired a car and had car parking spot, close to shops. Owners met us on arrival and showed us around, very friendly. Very comfy beds. Easy access with a car and easy to reach local locations.

This is a Spacious and comfortable selection for a family in the quiet area. The garden is a plus. The owner Gossa San is very helpful and easy to communicate. Thanks for hosting us and we did enjoy our stay.

Stayed for a weekend with this fantastic family in the middle of their tea farm. The host made us feel at home, offering tea and helping us move from the train station and back. All the meals were freshly cooked, delicious and very good portion. hosts also helped us organising the trip to the suspension bridge. We loved sharing the space with them and the cats! Experience the true culture and connect with amazing people, highly recommend.
