Convenient

Stylish quarters with a self serving kitchen. We weren’t met by the host, but there was a note with our name and instructions and all was very clear. Very close to the station.

Overall it's a nice place to stay a night

This house is indeed very close to tanabe Station, and there are also quite a few restaurants and other facilities around. However, the location is a bit hard to find. It's hidden in an alley and you need to check in elsewhere (very close). The room is very Japanese-style. It's a bit inconvenient to enter and exit, but it's quite large with ample space. It also has air conditioning and other basic facilities. The bathroom is very clean. Although the shower room is relatively compact, it is very convenient to use. Overall, it's a nice place to stay. The host is very friendly.

Basic, but good location

Location was excellent, but check in a little awkward and an unnecessary back and forwards after finding a note at the location to go to the cafe to get the key, which then turned out to be in the room door anyway. Earth floor could do with a little maintenance. I understand the basic aesthetic, but with 'potholes' in both the bathroom and kitchen area it is only a matter of time until someone twists an ankle or does other damage to themselves. Bathroom could have been just a little bit cleaner.

宿は無人で、おにぎり屋さんでチェックインしました

宿の入り口がすごく細い道で見落としそうでした。その日泊まるのは私だけだったらしく、入り口に「おにぎり屋さんでチェックインしてください」と書いてありました。 おにぎり屋さんでチェックインの時に口頭での説明を受けただけだったので、その後宿に戻ってから、電気のスイッチとかを探し回り、明るいうちに着かないと困るなあ、と感じました。 古民家を改造した宿で、設備的には何も不満はなかったです。

Great place and great location for a one night stay! Bit old fashioned and basic (common) bathroom, but it all adds to the authentic Japanese atmosphere.
