Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch. Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals. Guest houses sometimes feature a cozy living room or a garden – and are still cheaper than most regular hotels.

Mayuko and her family are warm, open and friendly hosts. We really appreciated the opportunity to converse with them (with some help from google translate!) and it made the stay special. The music and dance demonstration was wonderful. I can't think of a better local base.

Mayuko-san was an extremely welcoming host, and I received high praise for being the first Finnish person to stay at her guesthouse. I didn't try any traditional Japanese arts that she teaches, but on the last morning she kindly took me to see a shamisen performance. Highly recommend this place!

Lovely host with some English communication skills - expect a Japanese-English mix, though this ought not dissuade. Smooth check-in with a tour of the facilities. Most essential amenities provided. Facilities were clean. Local products can be bought at the Guesthouse including apple juice, original Japanese honey (made by the next-door family), and miniature instruments. One of us tried a shamisen lesson with the host for ¥3000, which was fun and interesting.
