Like some said the distance to town can be a bit on the long side, but Sato generously offered a bike to use, so it was super convenient and easy to get everywhere. So no overall complaints!

Was a gorgeous property with a lovely surrounding area and view from the balcony. It was lovely having my own Japanese style room and balcony to sit on to enjoy the view and listen to nature. Sato the owner was super welcoming and made me feel at home during my stay. I would definitely recommend his place to everyone!

Mainly location. Basically 20 minutes into what starts to feel like the middle of nowhere. If it were more centrally located it’d probably have been a phenomenal experience

Nice little house on the outskirts of the town. Really pretty house and pretty good pricing, plus fresh onsen water from a hot spring across the street

The place is very quiet and has everything you need. It is a little far from the station if you have a luggage but at a totally walkable distance if you travel with a backpack, only be mindful that the road is pretty dark when the sun goes down. The host is also very kind and considerate.

The location is sooo perfect if you want tranquility and is relatively close from the central point of Kawazu. You can enjoy a traditional way of sleeping and it was such a great experience. The host is also really kind and helped us with everything we need

Ladies bathroom does not have a bidet.

Convenient location. 15 minutes walk / 5 Minute drive to Kawazu station and the main Sakura Street. Sato San is the most amazing host. He even dropped us to the station with our luggage. A great hot water tub to unwind after the day! Very cozy rooms.

You can explore the area quite well using public transport but having a car would be beneficial.

Staying at Kajikaen was quiet and peaceful and a welcome break from busy cities and tourists. The house is clean and cosy and the WiFi was good. I enjoyed sleeping on a futon and was very comfortable. The house is walking distance from the station, bus stop, supermarkets and the beach. Sato is a gracious host and it was a pleasure to meet and chat with him.

Loved the location and opportunity to use a private onsen. I was a bit concerned about staying in a guest house, primarily about its cleanness, but the place was spotless (even veranda))

It's not a really big deal but it's located about 20 minutes away from the station on foot. On a hot day, it can seem a bit long. But other than that, the walk is nice.

The place is a bit isolated, surrounded by nature. You hear the cicadas and the river at all times, which is really peaceful. The room was very comfortable and cosy. Everything was very clean. Sato, the host, was friendly.

The house is located away from the station, but this was not a problem - in 15 minutes on foot you can walk to the station, supermarket and restaurants

Very nice place. The house has a common living room, kitchen, mineral water bath, toilets, as well as private rooms with a balcony. The owner showed me to see fireflies, which was very nice.

The location is like 20 minutes walking from the station, it was not a real problem for me but take it in mind when you chose to book here.

The house is traditional style and amazing, you can enjoy the private Onsen. The room is comfortable. I was the only guest that day so the host took me to the seven waterfalls by car. So kind. Thank you

The feel of home away from home

We were give a room for 3 pax. However, as we have very big luggages, Mr Sato gave us another room as there was no other booking and the room is available. Thanks Mr Sato.

Be prepared for Japanese style tatami beds

Private onsen

We mixed up the houses, since google maps doesn't show the correct building, but that's on us.

The room was private and the futons comfortable. The location was a few minutes from the city centre by foot and in a really calm neighbourhood.

The host was very welcoming and accommodating for English speakers! We stayed in Kawazu for the cherry blossom season, and the location was very affordable and an easy walking distance from the main town. It was very nice to be in an extremely quiet town to get a good night's rest and experience living in a traditional Japanese home for a bit too!

The only thing I found to be inconvenient was the distance in walking with a luggage. But I must stress that it’s not that much and it’s a very pleasant walk.

The host, Sato San is absolutely amazing. He’s kind and genuine with a genuine care for guests and the property. It’s homestay but in my eyes that’s a good thing because you get to talk with the hosts and learn so much more about Japan and everything than you would otherwise from a sanitized hotel experience. I’d come back a hundred times.

We can't find the accommodation and have been guided to a mountain by GPS and we were lost in Kawazu area.

The room is clean
