トイレにお母様の紙おむつが広げて置いてあり、洗面台も汚くて客のコップも無く、トイレに行くのにお母様がテレビを見てる茶の間と主人がいる台所を通らなければ行けず、高齢のお母様を世話(介護)してる姿も見え、大変そうで頑張って欲しいけど、特に外国人は泊めて欲しくないと思いました。

automated translation: There was a disposable nappy belonging to her mother spread out in the toilet, the washbasin was dirty and there were no glasses for guests. To get to the toilet, I had to walk through the living room where her mother was watching television and the kitchen where her husband was, and I could see her looking after her elderly mother. It looked like a lot of hard work and I wanted to encourage her, but I didn’t particularly want to stay there, especially as a foreigner.

Good food and an interesting place to stay

We found this an interesting place to stay, seeing how people in farming villages live. They showed us a promotional video from probably about 20 years ago showing a lively village where people were harvesting and making food together. It looks different now, less lively, probably because the young people all left for the big cities. The host of this Minshuku worked very hard to make the stay pleasant for us. The room was comfortable and the food was excellent, including the lunch box. The bathroom and toilet were not the cleanest but who cares for one night.

農家民宿政所 | 1泊2食プラン

高齢の男性が母親の介護をしながらの宿経営は、さぞご苦労だと思います。夕食・朝食とも彩鮮やかで豊富な品数で、美味しくいただきました。 テレビ中継されてたビデオを観るせていただいたり、お話していただき、楽しい時間を過ごしました。 ・部屋の隅の埃など、掃除が行き届いていない。 ・浴室のシャンプー等空のものが置かれていた。 ・洗濯機を無料で使わせていただきながらではありますが、置いてある洗剤が全て「空」でした。 ・ファンヒーターを付けていただきながらですが、灯油が無いのか、奥の部屋は、途中で止まってしまいました。隣室の方は付いていたので問題なしでした。 翌朝、出発時には、シルバーカーを押しながら、林道まで出てくださり、ずーと見送っていただきました。 気になる点はありましたが、心温まる出会いでした。ありがとうございました。

This used to be a nice place, as shown on the video by the friendly host. However, 15 years later I would ask you to help these nice people. Hope the community can do something here and help with thorough cleaning. It is so so dirty , not what you expect anno 2025

古い農家の家に泊まりに行った感じです。でも精一杯のおもてなしをしてもらえ、食事も普通の家庭料理ですがボリュームがありお腹いっぱいになりました。お弁当は三軒の中で一番よかったです。

True Japanese Farmhouse Experience

Nice mother and son run farmhouse. Good food. Prepare to sleep early due to no wifi and almost non existent mobile signal due to remoteness of place.

Warm hospitality but lacking hygiene.

Shigeru-san and his mother are the kindest people and I had such a warm reception here. But it must be said that hygiene is sorely lacking here. I have sympathy for him, as it must be such hard work to run the minshuku and care for his mother at the same time and I worry about what is going to happen to them in the future. But the bathroom is full of mould, the kitchen is a chaos and I wish I could just send some cleaners through to help him get it back to the old glory it was. They were so wonderfully kind, but they do need support to keep running this. Having said that, the food was delicious and his bento box one of the best I had on the trip.
