I have lived in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture, for 50 years, where I have been engaged in the construction business. During my student years, I spent about a year in Canada, where I experienced various types of accommodation such as homestays, guesthouses, and share houses. Ever since then, I’ve dreamed of running my own — and that dream has finally come true. Starting with a simple room rental at my own home (Minpaku Toki), I now operate five properties. We continue to renovate vacant houses in attractive locations to create more unique stays for our guests. Along with sharing the charm of our local community, I strive to make sure every guest enjoys a pleasant and comfortable experience. Please use our accommodations as your base to explore and enjoy everything Gifu and Aichi have to offer.

■ Relax and unwind in this nostalgic Showa-era Japanese home. Experience a traditional Japanese-style bedroom with tatami flooring. A supermarket is just a 2-minute walk away, where you can purchase daily necessities. (Please note that it closes at 7:00 p.m.) Free parking for 2 cars is available about 30 meters north of Minpaku Sue. (There is a parking sign on the side of the building.) It takes about 30 minutes by bus to reach the nearest train station, so we recommend coming by car. ■ Access Search “民泊すえ” on Google Maps.

Some areas (mainly around the toilet) have low ceilings, and parts of the floor are uneven. Although caution signs are posted in several places, please be careful not to bump your head. (Search “Minpaku Sue” on Google Maps for directions.) Beverages and alcoholic drinks inside the refrigerator are available for purchase. If you use any, please place the amount listed on the menu into the wooden box. (Bottled water is free of charge.) If you have a pet, an additional fee per night per pet will apply.
