    Our hosts were so welcoming and the breakfast was exceptional - the best breakfast we have had in Japan! Going to the local public onsen felt like we were part of the locals in town. It felt like a very special place to stay and a nice break from the hotels.

    Property response:

    This is Minpaku Suzuki. Thank you for praising our Country Breakfast. We look forward to seeing you again!

    The Suzukis are wonderful hosts! The traditional japanese room is big and spacious, and while no bath is available on premise, Mr. Suzuki drove me to both a public bathhouse and local restaurant in the evenings. Mrs. Suzuki had a very large and delicious japanese meal cooked up for breakfast. The pair were even kind enough to help me plan out my trip around the local area after breakfast! Located a short walk away from Hiraizumi station and an even shorter walk to the nearby Mōtsū-ji, I highly recommend Minpaku Suzuki to anyone interested in staying in Hiraizumi! Will definitely be planning another stay!

    Both the hosts are very nice and they are really helpful to suggest things to see and to do in Hiraizumi. Wonderful experience in the onsen and at the restaurant. The breakfast was superb. The room is very spacious with TV, wifi, fridge, kettle for tea and coffee. Ask to Mr Suzuki to turn the heater on because it is very cold in winter time. The Minpaku is only 10 minutes on foot from the train station, 3 minutes to Motsuji temple and 20 minutes an foot from Chousun temple. Takkoku no Iwaya is 5 km far away, so you need a bike to reach it.

    Very easy to find, they even hung a plate with my name on the door. I could basically use the entire second floor. The owner took me by car to a dinner place, the hot springs and to the train station. Very kind! Breakfast was very generous as well.

    Very comfortable with a very large, typical Japanese bedroom nicely decorated and all necessary amenities. Good location between the train station (10 minutes walk) and Hiraizumi’s historical sites (10 minutes walk as well to the closest one). Charming village, clean and full of flowers. The owners are extremely kind and fully dedicated to their guests, as there is only one room in the property.

    Everything is perfect but there is no shower for the guests, which actually provides an opportunity to use the nearby public bath (onsen) with free transfer by the owner.

    Staying in the Japanese resident is a different experience. It gave me the opportunity to closely feel the Japanese lifestyle, to understand the Japanese culture more. The hosts are very nice people. The breakfast was superb. The rice was very fresh and perfectly made. It was the best Japanese breakfast in my 18 days Japan trip.

    I didn't feel very good about the way the bedding was made. There was no sheet cover for the blanket and they only used a tower to cover the top edge of the blanket. Also, there is no shower for the guests in the house and the host sends the guests to the nearby hotel to use the public bath there. The extra cost for the bath may not be a big deal for most people but not everyone feels comfortable for using the public bath.

    Mr Suzuki and his family are very warm and friendly. I like the house as it's very nicely decorated and is very clean. I had the best breakfast that Mrs Suzuki prepared. I also like the various snacks that she prepared when I arrived, returned from my day trip and onsen.

    If there is an option to take a hot bath instead of going to the onsen will be good.

    The people were very friendly and helpful. The room was big and very clean and everything needed was provided. The food was delicious with a lot of variation within the same meal and the quantity was more than enough for an average eater. The location was excellent for sightseeing the area of Hiraizumi and Ichinoseki.

    For my one night stay, there were no negative points.

    The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was the best we have ever had. It was a wonderful experience to stay with a Japanese family. The hogs even drove us to the local Onsen, and even when we didn‘t understand each other‘s language we were able to communicate.

    I had an amazing stay there. The host were extremely friendly and tried to speak with me as much as possible, even though I can barely speak any Japanese. The room was a nice traditional style Japanese room with tatami and futon. The breakfast was amazing and probably the most nutritious breakfast I had in my entire life. Furthermore as already mentioned by other people they take you to the local onsen and restaurants by car. Overall a fantastic experience. Be aware: Due to the nature of the house it can get very cold in the room in winter. However the host will give you a heated mattress, an oil heater and multiple blankets to combat the low temperature which worked very well for me.

    We had a wonderful stay at Minpaku Suzuki! The hosts were very friendly and gave us a warm welcome. The room was spacious, clean and quiet. There is no bathroom but the nearby onsen is adequate. The breakfast was delicious, way above our expectations. Highly recommended!
