Minpaku Akatsuki (5-minute drive from Takahara)
Description
Cozy stay with lovely owner
Akatsuki is a “Minpaku” or homestay run by the cheery Maeda couple, in a neighborhood of Kurisugawa, on a narrow mountain road to the ridgetop settlement of Takahara (a 5-minute drive by car).
This accommodation is for private rental, only one booking per day.
It is a two-story home with guestrooms on the second floor. One guestroom has twin beds and the other sleeps with futons on the floor. The house itself is lovingly maintained and decorated with handmade crafts and flowers. It is a comfortable and welcoming homestay environment.
The Maedas are thrilled to open their home to visitors and look forward to offering unique experiences to guests. Ms. Maeda playfully used the character 暁 “Akatsuki” for the name of the minpaku, which is a character in her husband's name (to make him work!).
They offer free pick-up and drop-off from Takahara, Takijiri-oji, and Kurisugawa bus stops.

: Included : Not Included
Type A Type B Type C Type D Type E Vegetarianism is not common in the Japanese countryside. Please double-check the Vegetarian Type which the service provider can accommodate to make sure that it meets your needs. Often being able to eat trace amounts of the ubiquitous Katsuo Dashi (fish stock) makes it easier to find options.
