The staff is extremely friendly, willing to share points of views, the food is great, the atmosphere welcoming, the beds comfy. Probably the best accommodation of our stay in Japan !

The staff were amazing - so welcoming, friendly and happy to help. The dinner was done family style with the other guests and was an absolute highlight! Rooms comfy and good facilities !

Every staff is very friendly and kind. There is a dinner time to communicate with other travellers and staff as well.

lights off at 11pm as the guesthouse is in a residential area; people who like to stay out late may find it inconvenient.

warm and friendly staff and cozy space, lively atmosphere at night! great if you want to make friends during your stay.

Quiet hours starting at 23:00 was my only issue. But that is because this guesthouse made me want to talk all night long. Which is definitely not a negative.

Masaki-San, his family and staff were exceptional hosts. They ran the guesthouse in a way that made it very easy to meet other guests, no matter where they were from. The dinners provided were lovely, and morning stretches followed by breakfast was a great way to start the day.

Nothing wrong. I would come again.

Wonderful staff. They were the highlight of my stay. Bed is comfortable and the facilities are well kept. Would highly recommend staying here.

I stayed here for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. It's a great place to meet people and the owners are very friendly.

The dinner that we paid for at the place was delicious and I recommend it highly!

It was probably as good as you couldve hoped for for a guest house stay.

Hosts were very hospitable, I enjoyed passing time chatting at the living area. They sold home made umeshu that was delicious. With some of the other guests, one that could play guitar, we had a pretty fun karaoke session.

I had a little trouble sleeping on the mattresses, which are harder than what I was used to, but the fact each bed is like a capsule with heavy curtains meant it was dark and quiet, which helped a lot!

The host is a wonderful man and offered a delicious dinner for JPY 1000! As he is a former cook, it was really delicious! It was also nice to have a common space to share with the other guests and share our experiences, and have some social interaction in general. The woodwork in the rooms - such as the beds - were also made by the host himself and is really top-notch!

Showing time close at 2230 was too early.

Staff are very nice and friendly

The only thing I could say I appreciated less was that it was not long enough. The house was lovely and the people gave good advice. I did have heavy luggages so coming from the station was a bit tougher as there is a short metro ride and a bit of walking but all and all it was nice stay. A bit further from the center than I expected but that was alright.

Very warm atmosphere in Umebachi, we played kendama with their daughter, drank sake togetgher and went on a night walk togther. It felt like I was in a small family for a bit. I met with an amazing guy from Taiwan that I met again in Tokyo a few weeks later cause we had kept contact. The personel was very patient and keen on speaking either english/japanese. Really enjoyed my short stay there

If you are looking for accommodation with a familiar and extremely positive and warm vibe, this is the place for you! We felt very welcome from the very first second and would like to thank the owners for this incredible experience!

Staff and the friendly atmosphere

Some of the things were a bit on the older side and maybe not 100% clean

It felt cozy like an actual home and we got a great homecooked meal and some sake.

The private room is right next to the common room and kitchen downstairs. It didn't bother me too much, since I rarely went to bed before 11 pm. And when people were slightly noisy at night (surprisingly some seemed to be hungry in the middle of the night), I just put in earplugs.

I had such a great time at Umebachi. The owner is a lovely person and I enjoyed the original Japanese radio gymnastics each morning. :) There were many different people to talk to and the whole guesthouse had a nice and welcoming atmosphere.

Very very nice staff and owner and clean and well maintained house. It’s rather on the small site and can also get a little noisy if there are many guests. Other than that can recommend!

Great welcoming atmosphere. Location near train station. Cozy rooms and nice facilities.

Stayed in November 2024

Room is quite small and beds are bunkbeds rather than pods. No showers after 22:00, can be inconvenient at times.

Great staff, very friendly and very social. Host would cook dinner for guests and staff would hangout and chat. Very social atmosphere among guests, feels almost more like a joint airbnb.
