The hosts were so kind, and had such great eye for detail. From the bathroom slippers that they gave to us to the help we received when booking a rental bike - they did everything and so much more! They even gave us a lift to the station, which was very appreciated. Arigatou gozaimasu!

If i could give them more than 10 i would say 100. The room is pretty simple, nothing that fancy or expensive but the owners are so kind and welcoming. They were super kind and helpful, the whole stay at the inn was more than awesome. The best hotel of my stay in Japan
