Almost nothing. Just bear in mind the bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom downstairs so if you have elderly or young children, you should ask if they can turn the downstairs tatami room into a bedroom instead.

We loved how serene the surroundings were. Straight out of a studio ghibli movie. You almost expect Totoro to step out. It’s exactly what you expect from a rural home stay. Their breakfast is amazing so please get it!

A stay that allowed us to enjoy the peace and quiet of the place and the green surroundings. The house is charmingly renovated and the decor is tasteful. The hosts are lovely, and we would have liked to speak a little Japanese to better tell them how much the stay met our expectations. The coffee and breakfast are also very good.

Wonderful spot on the way to Takachiho gorge. The best cheese cake and very cozy place!

We had an amazing time and evening with them and the other guests. We also were helped out with a vegeterian dinner since the restaurants nearby did not offer such an option. Our unexpected highlight of the trip!

Elegant simplicity. Spiritual essence near a famous shrine. Rural. Well-run and maintained woodwork and art. Lovely breakfast. Appreciated dinner recommendation at Yumeya in nearby town.

Nothing, everything was perfect

The guesthouse is absolutely beautiful. It’s in a more remote location, so it’s very peaceful. The couple running たね are so very kind, and their cooking is exceptional. Breakfast was so delicious. We wish we spoke better Japanese so we could have talked more. They were such interesting people.

Charming location. Beautiful traditional Japanese house. We brought pot noodles as worried there would be nowhere to eat but didn't need to worry as helpful host gave us directions to an izikaya a couple of kilometres away. Good if you have a car but probably not ideal to walk at night as not much pavement or lighting. Wish we had a bit more time to enjoy setting.

Everything about my stay was amazing - the hosts were so lovely and hospitable (made me tea and breakfast, gifted me an umbrella, drove me to the bus station in the morning), and the room was great. Way bigger than a standard Japanese inn, and the bathroom had great amenities too. I enjoyed going to the local shrine, and sitting outside the hostel to enjoy the peaceful nature. I would love to stay again.

The owners are such a nice couple, very kind. We really enjoyed our days at hostel+cafe. The place is beautiful, very clean and confortable. The food was very tasty, Japanese traditional breakfast. We strongly recommend it.

The tenant has been great with me since the check-in (very late) and also he made me breakfast even if I was late and no pressure! The room was big and clean, all amenities were available and the place is just great with a lot of nature around. Great for a road trip!

Very friendly owners. Our Japanese is terrible but they were very patient with us and used tools like Google translate to make us feel comfortable. You have to take a small winding road to get to them, but it was an easy drive and the location is beautiful. The tatami mats and futons were comfortable. The bed rooms have air conditioning and heat which was easy to use. They made us some lovely tea and a great breakfast. There are two separate bedrooms and one bathroom area. But the bathroom is split up into 3 areas, a sink area, a shower area and a toilet area all with doors so three people could be getting ready simultaneously.

Really lovely couple running this newly renovated guest house. So kind, friendly and helpful. We stayed there for one night before hiking around Mt. Aso. Great location if you’re looking for a stop on a road trip in Kyushu. Bring cash!
