This was a highly memorable experience. It was cold the night we stayed : the room the same temperature as outside but the whole thing was so unique. Lovely hosts and excellent food.

A magical farmhouse stay by the river
Staying at the Kumaano farmhouse was one of the highlights of our three weeks in Japan. We arrived tired after a long day, crossed the bridge and were kindly picked up by the owner and driven to the farmhouse — a gesture that immediately made us feel cared for and welcome. The setting is truly magical, right by the river, with a beautiful outdoor bathhouse tucked under a small awning. Sitting in the piping-hot bath while listening to the babbling brook was deeply relaxing and unforgettable. The food was exceptional — clearly prepared with love and attention — and made even more special knowing that much of it was grown in their own organic garden. Every detail reflected generosity and pride in what they do. When we left the next day, they played a conch shell toward the mountains to wish us good luck on our journey — a moment of sincerity and kindness we will never forget. These are truly wonderful hosts, and if you are travelling through this area, staying here is a very special experience. We feel grateful to have shared even a short time in this beautiful place.

Amazing!
Couldn’t recommend this place more. Definitely should be the first preference for everyone’s stay in Koguchi. The most amazing hosts and indescribably delicious food.

Incredible Experience
We had such a wonderful time at the Kumaano Farm and Guesthouse. Nirev and his wife were lovely hosts and made us incredible food, much of which came from their own farm. The variety of dishes and large amount of food was just what we needed amid long days of strenuous hiking. The farmhouse itself is quirky and fun. The riverside wood-fire bath was a particular highlight. We visited during a very cold December night and the log cabin was quite drafty, but we stayed cozy with the room's kotatsu and heating pads under our futon. The provided blankets were also thick and warm! With limited daylight, we unfortunately didn't have enough time to explore the beautiful and quiet valley that the farmhouse is located in. We would not hesitate to return and spend more time exploring the region.

Our most meaningful stay in Japan
Nirav and his wife were gracious, generous, and accommodating hosts. The room itself was a chilly as we visited in December, but a hot bath overlooking the river and some time spent under heated blankets sorted us right out. Listening to the river and the rain felt like a cozy bit of heaven. Our vegetarian meals were the best we had in Japan, including an absolutely wonderful curry dish inspired by our host's travels in India. Nirav also sent us off in the morning in a very special way. I don't want to post about it as it's best experienced as a wonderful surprise, but it was one of the most meaningful moments of our trip in Japan.

One of a kind stay
This was definitely an adventurous and fun stay. After getting picked up from a bus stop next to the trailhead, we were taken to a farmhouse that was quite different from any other I've experienced. The house itself has a traditional tatami floor, with outdoor bath and toilets. This may not be for those who prefer more comfortable travel, but was quite a fun experience. The bath has 2 walls, and faces the river. While the shower is freezing cold in the winter, as soon as you hop in the tub its an amazing and serene experience. The food was really wonderfully cooked by the hosting couple. Another thing to note is the outdoor bathrooms, where guests have to put on 3 pairs of slippers to use, which can be a hassle. Overall I loved it, and think its quite a unique experience for those who are more adventurous.
