Amazing host

Absolutely amazing, the host was very friendly and had fluent English which I wasn’t expecting in a rural area. Beautiful location and cozy shared spaces. I only spent one night, and I hope to go back to see more of the area, and would stay here again!

Awesome architectural and design wonder. Friendly, interesting, conversational host. Played Flamenco guitar, talked music, design, and math with us. Also had a great conversation about the local area and some of the cool people who live in the town. Overall a unique and amazing experience! Thanks!

心温まるおもてなしに感動しました！ 家族4人で1泊させて頂きましたが、オーナーさんが娘たち（6歳と2歳）と沢山遊んでくれて、子供達も大満足でした。 また、子供の教育についても多くのお話を聞かせていただき、とても参考になりました。 他の宿泊客の方はおらず貸し切り状態だったこともあり、家族だけでのんびりとした特別な時間を過ごすことができました。 夕食と朝食はどちらも本当に美味しく、ご飯やおかずのお代わりまで快く引き受けてくださいました。 食事の時間もこちらの希望通りに対応してくれて、リラックスして食事を楽しむことができました。 宿の内装は築140年とは思えないほど綺麗でお洒落で、一歩足を踏み入れるとまるで別世界にいるかのような感覚でした。 「時間を忘れてゆったりと過ごして頂けるように時計を置かない」という拘りもとても素敵でした。 ここに泊まるためにまたこの町に訪れたいと心から思いました。

古い日本建築をご主人ご自身でリノベした建物で、子供たちにも新鮮な体験だったようで楽しんでおりました。騒がしい子供たちにもかかわらずご主人がにこやかに対応してくださりありがたかったです。

オーナーの方や他の宿泊者、地元の方と交流できるところが最大の魅力です。 オーナーさんはいろんなことをされており、これまでの経験や持っている知識から、私たちに知らない世界を教えてくれました。同じ日に泊まっていた宿泊者の方とも話ができてとても充実した夜を過ごすことができました。 築140年の古民家を改装しているのですが、全く古さを感じず、過ごしやすかったです。 トイレ、シャワールームもきれいです。 本や漫画がたくさん置いてあり、自由に読むことができます。観光の拠点としてもいいと思いますが、次は連泊して置いてある本をのんびりと読みたいなと感じました。 夕食、朝食もお願いしたのですが、とても美味しかったので迷っている方はぜひ！量もちょうど良かったです。 また来たいと思える場所でした。

何よりも心地の良い空間でした。それにお水もお茶も珈琲も美味しい。冷蔵庫やレンジなど整っており、オーナーのお人柄もよく永住したいくらい気に入りました。宿にシャワーブースしかないのが唯一の欠点ですが、少し車で走ればとてもいい温泉がアチコチにあるのでその難を簡単にカバーできる宿でしょう。

古民家を改装したゲストハウス。 リビングの暖炉の前で漫画を読んだり、スタッフさんとお話したり、ギターを聴かせてもらったり、のんびり滞在できます。 洗面スペースもキレイでファミリーも安心かとおもいます。 川根の主要観光地からのアクセスもよく、また行きたくなる宿です。
