The hostess lady is from Taiwan and speaks Japanese and Mandarin, so that was very helpful for us. She was also very helpful providing information on the castle ruin and local attractions and restaurants. When we asked her if there was any place we could rent bikes to ride along the river, she offered her own bikes to us. We really loved staying here in Takeda. It's quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Everything we wanted in a small Japanese town experience.

This is not really a don’t like, but just letting others know be prepared not many restaurants around and they close early so I would make sure to have some food brought in with you. They do have a refrigerator.

The area was beautiful staff very kind and helpful

It's ok for an overnight stop especially if you're getting up early the next day but I personally wouldn't want to stay longer than that!

Great location close to the station and very easy to get around Takeda. Host was also very friendly. She helped me book the early morning transfer to Ritsuunkyo which was very helpful.

There is no lock or keys for any doors or rooms, or even the front door. I know Japan is safe, but felt weird leaving all my valuables in my room when the front door to the house was unlocked all day.

Host was very responsive, but despite the language barrier no issue working with her. I'd all this more of a guest house than a hostel. It's simple, clean and comfortable, and only 3 minute walk to the station. I used it for my day trip to Takeda Castle and she provided me maps and helpful information.

Had to look hard to find towels. Bed was not perfectly made up.

Nice location with easy walk to train station and castle ruins. The person looking after the property was friendly and helpful.

No common area, the blinds in shared room didn't do much for privacy

The owner is a very friendly person, who always took great care if I needed a lift to the supermarket, that's a bit far away. She also explained the area very well.

Best stay I had in my holiday trip. I cannot overstate how accomodating and kind the owner is to their guests. Right at the heart of Takeda, walking distance from the station. Super clean and comfortable rooms. I wish I stayed a little longer. I'll be definitely coming back here.

The host was very nice, she asked if I was planning to go up to the ruins and gave me a map showing which routes were open and the time they took. She also told me most places were closed since I visited on a holiday and offered to drive me to the Konbini since it wasn’t very close. If you get a chance I couldn’t recommend having lunch at the attached cafe enough. It was perfect.

Accommodation was clean and comfortable. The host was lovely. She provided all sorts of information on the surrounding area and even offered to make a dinner reservation at a local restaurant for me.

If you have large luggage, its going to be hard climbing up the stairs. Not a big problem though. If they can have larger dressing window, would be great ^^ Also, you need to move downstairs to wash your face everytime. It would be great to equip one at the upper floor.

This is the 2nd time i came to Takeda and stayed at Fukunae. It was a pleasant and friendly stay and the host, Kitamura and Elie san were very nice and we had some nice chit chat too. The location is just 2 min walk from the station and if you cant find it, then you can walk for abt 100 m after exiting the station to your left and you will see Fukunae cafe. ** they also had a cafe ^^ Their homestay is behind the cafe. The town is very quiet and serene, and the bed is comfortable, making you relax with a great sleep at a mountainside atmosphere. Its a little pricey though, maybe because i had a double bed room. Highly recommended !!

Takeda is too small of a station. Bring enough food and drink or plan to go to Wadayama to stock up. We visited Kinousaki Onsen briefly on the owner’s recommendation, for dinner etc. (Thanks for the tip!)

Owner super friendly and helpful. Room, bed comfortable

Very close to the train station, facilities were clean and comfortable, but the host was the best part! Sweetest most caring host I’ve had so far!

The host was so kind. Oh my god she was so careful and friendly that I felt like my Mom. We kept talking for about 30 minutes straight ! There were not many convenience stores around ( just one, and a bit far away, in fact ) but she was willing to take me there by car. She runs a cafe which is on another side of the building but I didn't know until I left. Most of restaurants there open from 11am and her cafe starts at 10am, which is pretty good, especially for people who have a bit tight schedule of their trip. I was the only guest the day I came so yeah, it was comfortable to occupy the whole place but I felt a little scared when it turned dark honestly haha

to have better english speaking staff to attend to me and explain that the options I have, the facilities and services I could use

My room was huge and beautiful. The staff are friendly.

Close to station, nice host, clean room.

There wasn't any hand soap in the upstairs bathroom, nor any hand towels to dry ones hands. The beds were a little hard and it was a little expensive in terms of what you get.

It was a great location and our host was very kind and helpful. She gave us great insight of how to best enjoy Takeda Castle Ruins. Check-in was fast and easy.

The futon had stains on it and did not look clean, so I used the other side. There were no towels provided with the reservation. I asked, and they made an exception and gave me a towel. It was a little warm as the AC was off and only the windows were open.

The owner was super friendly and provides you with all the information about Takeda Castle when you arrived. The location is great, only a 4-minute walk from Tekeda Station.
