Nothing in particular - the shared bathroom/shower may bother some people but I didn’t mind.

I enjoyed meeting and staying with a lovely local couple. The detached garden room was perfect for myself as a solo traveller. The owners have great taste in interiors. The western style breakfast was very good too.

The owners were wonderful

The guesthouse is quite far from Tajimi centre and there is not much around, but the owners have been very kindly driving us around.

We chose this guesthouse on our way from Nakatsugawa to Nagoya based on the great reviews here and we were very happy with our stay. The owners kindly drove us to and from the train station, as the guesthouse is located quite far away. They have been so welcoming and helpful, and it was a real pleasure to stay in their beautiful house. The 2 bed room is very clean and modern, stocked with many beautiful books about ceramics, art and travelling. There was a storm during our stay and it felt so cozy to stay inside with the rain hitting the ceiling! In the evening, the owner drove us to the nicest onsen facilty we have ever visited, with a choice from many hot spring pools. Even though we have only stayed for one night, it would be lovely to come back one day.

So clean and beautiful architecture

This was the most welcoming stay in Japan that I experienced. We came in the evening and the host provided us a ride to a nearby mall to eat and the big spa facility where we could spend time for free using a coupon that they gave us. Breakfast was also very good. Nice place

A little challenging finding the Guest House.

The host is friendly and helpful. After learning that I like pottery, she helped me book a pottery session with a local pottery studio.

Truly serene feeling and backed up to a nature area. The room was filled with artist touches. Very kind hosts. Comfortable room and beds. We were given daily passes to a local onsen for our bathing, and this was our first onsen experience and a good one!

It wasn't an issue for me, but just take note that if you book a single room, you'd have to use the toilet in the host's house or the other larger guest room toilet. There's also no showers in both guest rooms, but they provide free tickets to a beautiful onsen nearby. They also allowed me to use the shower in their house during my longer stay previously.

Stayed here twice. Yumiko and Suguru were both so kind and helpful throughout the stay – they were great hosts, always sharing snacks and night-time chats with me. I'm so thankful for their care and hospitality throughout my stay. If you like interacting with locals, and finding out more about Japanese craft and culture, stay here! It's a beautiful, restful home.

There is no bath or shower available however tickets to the local Onsen are provided. Unfortunately the local Onsen is not tattoo friendly.

The property was beautiful and thoughtful. The mid-century furniture and beautiful ceramics on display made the accommodation feel very peaceful and homely. The doors opened up onto a peaceful garden with a creek running through it. Will definitely return next time we are in Japan. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly.

It’s a quiet location, which is nice. First time in years that I have slept without earplugs. Good to know: you can not bathe at the guesthouse. I was a bit scared of using the Onsen at first, but ended up loving it. The hosts are such nice people. They made my stay even better, thank you so much.

The tiny inconvenience of not having a shower/bath but compensated by onsen not far away where Yumiko さんdrove me to.

Everything especially the beautiful room with a garden view and the wonderful host Yumiko

A bit cold, and no bath in the room.

The interior decor is tastefully designed to every detail, surrounding nature is startlingly beautiful, and the host is warm and friendly.

The property is advertised as having a shower but when we arrived we were advised that this was not the case and we would have to go down the road to the local onsen. This should have been pointed out in the description of the property. We are not comfortable using this type of bathing facility

We were surprised to be offered breakfast as the property was described as not providing breakfast. The cost of 800 yen per person was very reasonable and the continental breakfast provided was delicious.

So kind and helpful couple who runs this unique architectural place - higly recommended for cultural travellers!

Breakfast was great, host was able to accommodate dietary needs. The hosts were super friendly and helpful and had lots of recommendations for us. The room was even nicer than the pictures. Going to the bathhouse was a really nice experience as well. I would love to stay here for a longer amount of time again!

Could have been convenient to have a shower on site but the trip to the onsen every night was a treat too!

A lot of care and attention to detail went into this guest house and the hospitality

Nothing I didn’t like!

Yumiko san was the best host one could ever have being in a new city. She was warm and very welcoming and helped me greatly during my stay. We had extremely interesting and warm-hearted conversations despite my lack of Japanese and her lack of English. I couldn’t ask for more. :)

Would have been handy to have a shower, but the Onsen was very relaxing at the end of a long day.

The hosts were so nice. Everything was perfectly considered.

Stayed in May 2023

That there was no bathroom attached to the room, but we asked if we could take a shower in their house as we had no time to go to the onsen.

The friendly owners, the peaceful location near stream &Shrine and the stylish room.

The bait and switch: the room is advertised on booking.com as having a shower. It does not. When we arrived the owner met me and asked whether I liked onsen; and then went on to tell me that the room did not have a shower, and she was giving me two tickets (one for me, one for my wife, though we were staying two nights) to a local bathhouse that's about a 15 minute drive from the property. My (Japanese) wife later called the owner and spoke to the husband (rather that the wife who'd met me), and insisted on the shower. He went to an outdoor room in the back yard and set up what I'd describe as similar to a camp shower; he put a soft-sided basin on the floor next to a sink to which a shower hose had been attached. He set up a curtain around three sides of the tub. And that was the shower. It worked about as well as you might imagine a camp shower working. The second night we went to the local bathhouse, which was not close and which we didn't much appreciate either, though it was superior to the camp shower. The house itself is at the end of a cul-de-sac, and is in a very quiet setting. However the neighborhood is what I'd describe as light industrial, with no restaurants, convenience stores, or even many vending machines within 600 meters or so. You will have to be driving yourself if you consider staying here.

The room was spacious, with a large table, a pair of single beds, refrigerator, sink, and toilet room. The room is adorned with many hundreds of art books and magazines reflecting the owner's tastes. The sliding glass door to the back yard offers a pretty and peaceful view of nature. Free parking with plenty of space is just across the street. The neighborhood is very quiet.

Lots of hilly roads that go up and down. Difficult to move around the area without any form of transportation. The guest house was good, but hope they can adjust where the light fixtures are placed.

I liked how the family staff was friendly and not too pushy and let you have it your way. They helped by guiding through the town and given assistance by offering a taxi lift service or electric bike.
