Very nice guesthouse, very clean and friendly! Nice tips for your trip!

The accommodation is in a beautiful rural house. The house is well equipped. The host takes a great care for their guests, and does even more than what is expected from the host. For example, they explained me very kindly the path to a remote mountain, and also pointed out possible risks. As locals, the host family has a detailed knowledge of the surroundings. It was a pleasure to stay in the house. Highly recommended!

Soundproofing is not that well. But, it's the condition had been told and all guests followed the rule: keep silence during 10pm~6am.

Hosters were very kind and willing shared experiences with us. Breakfast was delicious with homemade soup/juice. I love the living room with Japanese style decoration.

It was perfect !

The owners are the sweetest people ever. They are very friendly and really good at english. They showed me restaurants and places to go in Ōno, it was really useful. They also lent me a bike and an umbrella and gave me candies and homemade food when I was leaving (the onigiri was delicious) ! Thank you a lot to them !! Talking about food, the breakfast is very tasty ! The place is tidy and there is a very nice common area with kotatsu in winter. It's really peaceful and calm. I stayed in the mixed dorm but I was alone so it was nice haha. I slept really well and there is a lot of space around the futon to put things.

Not related to the guesthouse, but the onsen they recommended was a too hot for us 🤣

The guest house is warm with relaxing vibes and very comfortable. It is run by a lovely family who were helpful and gracious. We appreciated that we could get a car ride to Mt Arashima's trailhead at a very decent fee too. The rooms were very clean, definitely one of the better guest houses I've stayed at for the past 1 month! Thank you for the hospitality, chats and recommendations 😌

There were some mosquitos,

This is a beautifully designed space. Staff are very nice too, and the coffee was excellent. Getting to Echizen ōno does require some additional navigation that was even confusing some of the Japanese travelers on the train. For example, you cannot transfer from the Shinkansen line to the local line using the IC card. You need to exit and buy a ticket. Train times from Fukui station and back are also irregular, so planning is required,

Very pretty and comfortable. The staff was nice and helpful.

Better signage or clearer directions to the location, especially at night, perhaps using nearby landmarks.

The staff were very friendly and helpful when explaining house rules and their recommendations in and around the city. The common facilitates were also clean and well maintained. Optional breakfast, though slightly pricey, was really yummy with good coffee (they also run a cafe).

Room is a bit too warm in the summer

Very nice room, and beautiful house, there is a supermarket closeby and the guesthouse has a nice tatami room with japanese tables to eat. Free tea and coffee

Would have preferred separate bathrooms and toilets for men and ladies.

Wonderful hosts and a very Japanese experience staying here. Interesting house and peaceful neighbourhood.

The curtains in the room can be replace for against the sun light.

Very clean, comfortable facilities, good locations to the city center, also friendly owners to help us during our stay. We also liked tasty breakfast.

Everything was perfect!

The house is beautiful and the staff is amazing! The dormitory was very comfortable, everything was clean. The owner and his son (I guess) were very kind and helpful, gave a lot of info on the area and a a map full of recommandations for restaurants and onsens. They even lent me a bicycle to visit Ōno.

For the sake of improvement, its a little bit hard to move in the mixed bedroom. Maybe the space can be improved too.

The thing I like the most is the kindness of the owners. (The 3 of them) The owner even drive me to the station for free. He said it's his Otoshidama to me 🙂 The owner's wife voluntarily heated my breakfast in the microwave. And their son Ten is so nice too. He is the one who picked me in the station. He speaks english well! All of them are nice! The bathroom and restroom are so nice. It looks like a newly renovated.

Such a hidden gem especially for foreigners who might not think to visit the more rural parts of Japan, but it is easy to get to via train from Fukui city which can be reached by bus or train from tokyo or osaka/kyoto. Riding the provided bicycles around town was a great experience.

The main public transportation is buses, but the bus schedule is very little. Therefore, plan your schedule carefully, and check the bus time ahead.

The hotel owner is very friendly and informative. The facility is very clean with cute decorations. I love the smell of wood and herbs within the facility.

Staff and concept

It was not properties fault, but the rain stopped me for doing exploration when I arrived the town. Besides that, my experience inside the place was awesome!

The incredible and personal attention of the staff. I arrived Oko Town in the middle of a heavy rainy day. So the owner himself and a worker offer me a ride in his personal car to a closer restaurant. They drive me over, and pick me up a hour later. It was awesome! They were excellent people!

Beautiful house in a quaint and quiet neighborhood. Shared bathroom and common areas were super clean. The owners were welcoming and helpful with recommendations on where to eat and visit. The location is convenient to hike Arashimadake, which was a fun trail with great views. We loved our stay in Echizen Ono.

The food, the decor, the town, the whole area was extremely pleasant and I also arrived during the spring festival which made the experience that much better. The host was extremely helpful and polite and made my time in the city great, they even offered to drive me and my friend to the train station, saving us time and back pain from all our luggage. Great hospitality in a lovely Guest House.
