The guest house features a flat-screen TV. The kitchenette comes with an oven, a microwave and a toaster and there is a shared bathroom with slippers and a hair dryer. The guest house offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service. A wonderful place with amazing hosts. They cared for me like a member of their own family—kind, helpful, and attentive. The house and garden were beautiful, set in a quiet countryside village far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The atmosphere was peaceful and truly special. Staying there was a beautiful experience and a glimpse of Japan you won’t find in big cities.
