Lovely and cosy stay

What a lovely stay ! The accommodation is well designed and stocked with everything you might need. It really feels like an art gallery ! The pick-up from the Takahara rest area was quick and smooth. The host Aki is very kind and the food was delicious.

Perfect

The room was extremely comfortable and the food… the food was amazing! Our host was also extremely kind and even came to check on us after the earthquake. Probably one of the best stays of the trip.

The accommodation is further away than expected. It is absolutely necessary to get picked up and sent to the accommodation. Calling to be picked is necessary.

Stay here!

I thought a bento dinner might be less than desirable after a day on the trail and I was very wrong! Absolutely beautiful and delicious. Aki took great care of us and the place is so thoughtfully put together!

Excel·lent

Tot i que està una mica apartada de la ruta el servei de recollida és ràpid i eficient. Es van posar en contacte amb mi per WhatsApp uns dies abans, la qual cosa va facilitar la comunicació. El lloc, el menjar i l'amabilitat de l'amfitriona insuperables.

automated translation: Although it's a bit off the beaten path, the pickup service is fast and efficient. They got in touch with me via WhatsApp a few days in advance, which made communication easy. The place, the food, and the host's kindness are unbeatable.

Wonderful stay in a small village!

We had such an amazing stay at Noko Noko! The owner was fantastic and had the cutest cat! The dinner bento box was quite luxurious with many side dishes and the breakfast included both sweet and savory offerings. The place was clean, cozy and wonderfully curated with artwork from a local artist! The futon was very comfy, and we appreciated having an attached bathroom to ourselves. The transportation to and from the Takahara rest stop was also very helpful and easy! The owner provided us with a map of the village, and we enjoyed a short and lovely walk through the village.
