Had a great stay here!

The host was very welcoming, and cooked wonderful food for us. She has a restaurant background and it shows.

A very average homestay, compared to many others we’ve visited on this trip. The elderly woman is set to her schedule and totally ignored our request for no meat in our meals. The food is ok nothing special , the bento box lunch was mostly rice. The room was clean and not the most comfortable . The woman is helpful when asked but speaks no English . It would be fine, except the cost was very high, close to 3 star temples and ryokans but not even close in terms of experience. Just not worth the cost. It’s not in town but rightn on the busy highway. There’s a minimal grocery near but nothing else.

Beautiful Chikatsuyu

Would recommend this place to anyone. A lovely lady (& her cat) ran it by herself. Beautiful home cooked dinner & breakfast together with a bento box for lunch. Accommodation was comfortable, with a hot bath, fridge, tv, futons, etc. Location was just across the bridge from the supermarket & handy to the bus stop for our next day to Hongu. She didn't speak too much English, but that's half the love of travel. Therese & Pete

部屋に独立した風呂とトイレがありプライバシーは保てる。食事が美味しいとのことでしたが、味や献立の評価は難しいです。オーナーの手作り料理という点では良いのかもしれないですね。 出発時間に配慮して朝食を用意してもらえた。

Very welcoming host, but just ok

The elderly host was quirky and fun! She spoke no English but spoke with us through her iPad, which worked well. The accommodations were in a trailer on the property. A little dark and dingy with a lot of black mold on the floor. The meals were just ok. The location is about a 10 minute walk from the trailhead, so not terrible, but not right in town. The guest house is right on the side of a highway.

The owner is very kind and hospitable. We especially enjoyed the varied and delicious homemade food. The lunch package was sufficient.
