The property is set 6.3 km from Green Park Santo, 7.3 km from Maibara Station and 18 km from Taga-taisha Shrine. Site Of Reversible Destiny Yoro Park is 33 km from the hostel and Yoro Land is 33 km away. The location was perfect for us as we visited the Shaun the Sheep farm before check-in—it made the journey super convenient. The guesthouse itself was a beautiful blend of traditional Japanese charm and modern touches. We especially loved the dinner—it honestly felt like an omakase experience! Every single dish was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. The peaceful riverside setting and cozy interior made it feel like a hidden gem.
