Staying in a traditional Japanese home with free live shamisen and minyo performances was an amazing experience. For a extra cost, she taught my wife the Tsugarujamisen and me how to make the delicious Nambu delicacy, Senbei-jiru. The premises were immaculate the freshly replaced tatami rooms aromatic. It is a little bit off the beaten path but easy enough to find with GPS.

Situated within 2.2 km of Morioka Station and 100 metres of House of Morioka Town, Tototo Morioka features rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Morioka. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and private parking is available on site. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. I love how the space feels like coming back home, the owner is really kind, funny and I enjoy talking with him and other travelers. We sat all together and had some fun.time. The room I stayed in was a dormitory, the futon mattress was comfortable. I enjoyed the location as well. Even though it's a 30 min walk to the station, it's a really historical area and you will enjoy walking around. I highly recommend it!.

Offering a garden and inner courtyard view, Guest House Chara is located in Hirosaki, 34 km from Sannai-Maruyama site and 3.5 km from Hirosaki Castle. This guest house provides free private parking, free shuttle service and free WiFi. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming - there was also a breakfast included (which I didn't remember getting). The house was full of history and souvenirs which I'm sure the hosts are more than happy to talk to you about. There is also "sake nights" where the hosts offered us a chance to try different sakes. There is only one shower in the facility, so there is a booking system to reserve your shower slot.

Sendai Toshogu is 21 km away and Rakuten Seimei Park Miyagi is 22 km from the guest house. The staff there was really welcoming and they could speak perfect English, which isn't a given factor when travelling in Japan. The facilities were pretty good as well, all very clean and modern. I would like to come back here one day.

Set 24 km from Kamo Aquarium and 47 km from Shinjo Station, Shukubo Kanbayashi Katsukane is situated in Mount Haguro district of Tsuruoka. This guest house offers free private parking, luggage storage space and free WiFi. This place was a true sanctuary during my two-month journey. I originally planned to stay just a short while, but it felt so peaceful and welcoming that I ended up extending my stay. There was so much to explore in the area. I discovered the three sacred mountains of Haguro, Gassan, and Yudono, part of the Dewa Sanzan, and I wanted to experience them all. The traditional accommodation was simple, beautiful, and full of charm .Bus stop and great food spot just across the street. I truly didn’t want to leave. What made it even more special were the two amazing women who run the place with such kindness and care. I felt at home from the moment I arrived. I will never forget my time here.
