Some insects invaded into the rooms. This only relies on how actively you close door when after entering the house.

Cost performance is very high. There are fewer visitors booking this house compared to weekend and holidays, means you can use all the public utilities as your own in weekdays.

The hosts were super nice! The house is really cute and we had a really nice stay. Just be aware that there are no bath towels. Amazing experience, would recommend!

Not much just it Can be little noisy because it's typical Japanese style with thin walls so depends on how the other guests are behaving.

Staff were ace. Thankyou. Quiet clean location. Felt relaxing. Short walk to convenient store and ten mins to train at and big supermarket Aeon. Excellent English spoke with great tips and knowledge of the area. Thankyou guys. Oh and good price for the ambiance of the place and style.

Nothing.

The place is comfortable and child friendly, the rooms are spacious and everything you need is provided. The owner is very friendly and can speak english made it easier to communicate.

We loved our stay here! We let the owner know what time we were arriving, and he met us at the property (they live elsewhere, so it's good to communicate your arrival time). The garden is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, spacious rooms, with comfortable futon beds. There were a few things that would have made it more comfortable, such as having the heating on in the hallway, the taps took a while to get hot and they made a loud noise when trying to heat up, and the heater in our room made a strange noise when it was on. None of these things would prevent us from coming back, though. Honestly, it was beautiful!

Beautiful property away from the city with traditional rooms and soft beds. Lovely at night. Forgot something and the owner messaged me to coordinate picking it up on my way back to Tokyo!

The house is traditional so giving you an option to experience an authentic Japan life. The surrounding is surreal, but i guess you have to rent a car to reach the area (didn’t see many taxi). The house however a bit dusty, although they provided humidifier in our room which respectable. The shared-bathroom area was super clean. Some people may be surprised by the “shared living experience” of sharing bathroom and shower but for us it was fine. Local area has decent restaurants nearby but cannot access without your own transport or walking.

No hot water available on water dispenser.

Thoughtful setup of outside garden for a typical Japanese country house. Staff was very cheerful and had many recommendations for food and Onsen. Bathrooms are relatively clean and spacious.

For a property with shared amenities, many were missing (no cutlery, no kitchen, nowhere to wash dishes, etc). Also keep in mind that the walls are literally paper so you need to keep very quiet at night

The room and yard were absolutely perfect. We loved it

We booked a triple room and expected a traditional tatami room with three futons has shown on the photos. Instead, we were given a Western-style room with one double bed and one single bed that was much smaller than 20 sqm. The room was located right between the shared living room and bathroom, making it quite noisy at night as guests tended to check in late. Still we were quite comfortable, but we would have booked elsewhere if we had known what kind of room we would get.

This is a beautiful traditional house in a secluded residential area not too far from Isawaonsen station. The proximity of a Lawson store made the location particularly convenient.

Very noisy guests. Many insects enter the house but the insect repellent they provided was working against the mosquitoes. The pillows were really uncomfortable.

Lovely gardens and a nice space to eat outside. The house was interesting and pretty. Combini at two minutes walk. Possibility to make a laundry.

The GPS systems (we used in-car Navi) took us to super narrow and weird roads which was the wrong way Some directions provided in advance would have been perfect We didn't mind walking, but just bear in mind that the restaurants are approximately 15 minutes away

Host was super friendly and took his time to show us around and recommended the best places to visit in Isawa Onsen In addition, he also provided all the contacts and locations of the to-go spots. The voucher for a free towel set for the Fruit Spa Puku Puku was definitely a great addition! In addition, the property had plenty of parking spaces

The walk from the station with bags was a bit long but ok.

The stay was attractively landscaped and gave a sence of tranquillity. Tradional bed comfortable and the room spacious. All facilities convenient and clean. The owner was friendly and helpful.

The disadvantages of Japanese room are not attached to own bathroom in room.

Off the beaten track a little bit, but a wonderfully quiet location within easy walking of the train station. Some good walking paths over the river leading to various shrines and temples. Loved the owl statues around the house and garden - very cute.

The host was very quick to respond to messages and very helpful during check in. he gave up a map of the area, showed us all the restaurants around as well as flyers for Hottakarashi Onsen, which we planned to visit the next day. The beds were very comfortable and checkout was super simple, we didn't need to do anything but close the lights and go!
