Rediscovering the Prestige of Yesteryear
A messy house makes a very bad impression when guests arrive. After a cold welcome, people were nice and friendly. Toilets and sink were very dirty. Meals were all great. Wishing both of you good health !

We were warmly welcomed into their home.
The owner and his mother greeted us warmly. We enjoyed watching the documentary from a few years ago about the minshuku and the surrounding area. The food showcased local ingredients and while the food was not completely vegetarian, my husband managed as they were plenty of vegetarian elements. We really appreciated the tasty lunchbox including a few welcome sweets. The owner was also very helpful in helping us use the washing machine. Our room was a lovely tatami room with plenty of hanging space and classic decorations.

As if i were a livestock
We were forced to eat dinner before 16h30 just because everyone was there in rounge room. In other places, at C/in, we could request time for dinner & BF. I felt one of their livestock. In toilet, there was cobweb, washhandbasin area full of mold, not at all hygienic. Two o'clock at night, it was so noisy for prepapation. In early morning, shouting to call her son. There was no consideration at all. To sam up, there was no hospitality n I would never go there again.

Wonderful homestay in the Japanese countryside
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Minshuku Mandokoro. This is a basic farm stay in a lived-in farmhouse in the rural Japanese countryside. Do not expect glamor or the same level of privacy you would have in a business hotel. You will be sharing space and facilities with the family who lives here. Wi-Fi is nearby but not available in the farmhouse itself. The host family speaks little to no English, but Google translate makes communication easy with the correct language packs downloaded, and it helps to know some basic polite Japanese words and phrases. The food was delicious, made with fresh local meat, eggs, and produce, and the portions were generous enough to satisfy after a long day of hiking. An excellent choice for hikers seeking authenticity over luxury. We hope to return again someday.

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.
