One of the most comfortable and peaceful places I’ve stayed. The host was extremely kind, attentive, and helpful. She even offered to pick us up from Station and helped several times with our luggage. She gave us great recommendations about the area. The house was spotless, very safe, and felt like a warm family home. We truly felt at home. She even offered us some treats, which was such a lovely gesture. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a trustworthy, cozy, and heartfelt stay in Urasa. Thank you so much!

Immaculate house with a lovely host who offers a complimentary ride to/from urasa station ( 1.3 km). Excellent kitchen and laundry facilities.

The owner is very welcoming. Although the accommodation is a bit far from the station, the owner's pick-up service makes it not a problem. The decoration of the cottage is very novel and warm, exceeding the original expectations. The kitchen is fully equipped and I would like to spend a week skiing at Hakkaisan next time. My family had a wonderful holiday in the beautiful countryside of Niigata.

I’ve been staying at Urasa Cottage for a couple of days, and I must say I truly felt at home. The host is very friendly, and the house is quite new and clean. It’s also not too far from the station. I already miss it ❤️ I’ll be back soon~

The house was cold when I arrived, but heaters were provided, so that was only initially a problem. At night some kind of water sprinklers on the roof (outside) were rather noisy. I assume they use them to keep the roof snow-free. Since it kept turning on and off, it was a bit bothersome, but nothing major.

The owner was very friendly and helpful, though we were in touch only through messages. The house was clean and nice, with a spacious kitchen and living room.

Ms Li was super hospitable! We soon realized that we came from sunny Singapore and the family chatted comfortably. The place is very clean and amenities well planned and detailed. It was snowing heavily and the house had more than adequate heaters to keep us warm and comfy. Photos shown and description are exactly what you will get.

Lovely new house! Room was huge and we could use the kitchen and living room downstairs. The host came to pick me up at the train station and offered to drive me back next morning, and also presented a gift of a bottle of sake. Very satisfied!

There are only 2 bathrooms and 2 toilets. We had no problem since the house was not fully occupied.

Kitchen facilities is sufficient to prepare meals during our 1 week stay. A very nice rice cooker is great for tasting rice during the rice harvest season . We use oven to grill fish, and make onigiri for take-out lunch

We recently stayed at this charming guesthouse! We enjoyed our stay very very much and would like to recommend this place to all. The guesthouse is conveniently located within walking distance to the high-speed train station. Every day, our family enjoyed beautiful walks along the riverbank to the area near the station. The scenery around is picturesque, and we also appreciated the convenience of having several stores and restaurants nearby. A large hospital with a 7/11 inside is just a few hundred meters away, adding to the convenience. The entire house was immaculately clean and tidy. Our family of four, including two little babies, stayed on the second floor in a traditional tatami room, which was exceptionally comfortable. The kids had a great time playing and sleeping in this well-maintained and inviting space. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. They not only assisted us in planning our itinerary but also offered various other types of support that touched our hearts. The kitchen was stocked with a variety of foods and drinks, which showed a thoughtful attention to detail and made our stay even more comfortable. The area around the guesthouse is breathtaking, featuring both mountains and rivers. It’s an ideal spot for families wanting to experience the rural life in Japan. The natural beauty and peaceful environment are perfect for relaxing and enjoying time away from the bustling city. Overall, we were thoroughly satisfied with our stay and would definitely choose this location again on our next visit. We highly recommend this guesthouse to any traveler looking to experience the charm of rural Japan. It's a perfect retreat that combines the comfort of home with the beauty of nature, ensuring a memorable stay for all guests.

Everything was great.

The host is extremely friendly and welcoming. The place has a very homey feel to it and is extremely clean. The kitchen has a lot of nice snacks and drinks available in case you don't feel like going out. Bed and comforters are very comfy. Very down to earth and "no frill" home. Within walking distance from Shinkansen station and a few restaurants. This is excellent value. I would stay here again for sure.

This booking was so much more than we expected! As a family of 6, it was wonderful to have so many amenities available. The views all around are stunning- we stopped at Kiyotsu gorge, sightsaw the Uonuma Skyline, took in the mountain reflections in the rice terraces, and stopped at 3 foot baths in the area. They even allowed our dog to stay too! Highly recommend booking Urasa Cottage. Thank you for the hospitality and wonderful stay!
