Peaceful place close to the beach. The owners were extremely friendly and spoke French and English. We loved our stay

It was very traditional and the hosts were very welcoming (: We got along well in English. The property itself is a bit of a marvel and the facilities were quite reasonable. The bath is sizeable. Cleanliness was perfect! There was not a hair out of place. The walk from the station is about 10 minutes. Even in heavy snow most of the road was clear. It’s very easy to get to and from Tottori if you observe the schedule. I recommend the walk to Hamasaka station. There are places to eat in that part of town and we caught the bus to Yumura Onsen for a very pleasant day trip. It was a very comfortable stay. I recommend it greatly

Our wonderful host let us stay across the street in another unit that was completely private because it was available, and this was a great option for our family. He was very kind and responsive, and we really enjoyed our stay!

The best stay in Japan for us. So much hospitality, beautiful authentic Japanese house and a lovely garden.

Wonderful hosts. Very nice house. However, we stayed in an annex that is on the other side of the street that has not the charm of the main guesthouse.

The hot water in the bathroom was not that hot. I suppose that this was to prevent someone from getting scalded, and in all fairness, I should had asked if there was some additional adjustment that could have been made for hotter water for the bathtub. It wasn't a big deal. We had a great stay.

My friend and I stayed in two very comfortable Japanese-style "washitsu" rooms. One room even had a garden view. The Higashi Fujitatei House is steeped in history and it was a very quiet and relaxing property. The bathroom had a deep, retro-style tile bathtub which was great for a long soak in the evening. The hosts gave us a ride to and from a nearby izakaya where we enjoyed a very memorable meal of local seafood and sake. They were both very kind. Just before our departure, we were given a tour of the entire residence and a history lesson on the storied past of Higashi Fujitatei.

The couple who own the house were very kind and friendly. The building is a beautiful, old Japanese house and is a unique place to stay.

This rambling old guest house run by the delightful Mr &Mrs Fujita gave us a traditional and unique Japanese experience. We used the house as a base to explore the region. I would recommend renting a car as restaurants etc are in the next town.

I really loved the kotatsu, it was pretty cold weather and kotatsu provided much comfort. The room is spacious, you have kettle and tea. Wifi was working well. It was a nice stay overall and a cool experience of staying in a traditional old house. There is also a parking next to the house, which is very convenient if you travel by car. The elderly couple who own the place were very welcoming and kind, gave us advice where to get dinner and groceries, as there is not much in the town itself. We also got coffee and snack for breakfast.

We stayed during the snowstorm and the ground floor of the property was cold.

Host of the property is very kind, warm and friendly who is making sure we are ok. We stayed during the snowstorm in Dec/2022 and the host informed we can take our time for the check-out while waiting for the snowstorm to clear.

cleanliness should be improved, our stay would have been even more +++

closer to the station, to a small neighborhood market, close to Utopia Onsen, and to the ocean

Everything was perfect !!! I would come again just for breathing and sensing this beautiful atmosphere;

Beautiful house with beautiful tokonoma, tatami and and amazing look from inside the house to the outside; the hosts explained the historical background of the house - we were deeply impressed; hosts are also experienced with Japanese tea ceremony; just sitting there and watching the beautiful interior is a moment where you can grasp a bit of Japanese older times; the hosts were extremely welcoming and friendly; sitting together with them was a moment of ichigo - ichie;

One of the best places we have stayed. Fantastic owners who could not have made us feel more at home. The room was very comfortable and a beautiful space. We had a view of the garden which was lovely

The owners were very kind. Mr. Fujita picked us up at the train station, brought us to the supermarket and to a really nice top hill view site. The guided tour of the house was really interesting. It was only one night stay but we felt at home.

Wonderful hosts. Excellent property. Shame we couldn’t stay longer. Our host even called ahead to ask a restaurant to open to cook us a meal as we arrived on a quiet night. They were so wonderful and made the stay really welcoming. Thank you
