The host was very kind. He gave us an impromptu tea ceremony for free while teaching us the roles. He insisted on seeing us off in person. Meanwhile the house had nice gardens and large comfortable rooms. Almost like a ryokan. The wifi didn't work but that gives extra time to work on developing your kanji calligraphy (hehe).

The location is not good if you don't have a car. It's also kind of hard to find. Look for a big car gate with a couple of lanterns. There's a buzzer next to it by which the owner will open the gate remotely for you.

Beautiful property, complete with a traditional tea house.

You should have a car to stay here. There are buses and trains, but it takes a few transfers.

This place is great if you are looking for an authentic experience in a fancy Japanese house. The tea ceremony included in the stay is also a nice occasion to learn more about Japanese culture.

The house is a regular house, it was not made at all to welcome guests. This implies several things that can be surprising, especially considering the owner does not inform guests beforehand: - From the room where we were, you have to go through the living room and the dining room to go the toilets, which is not ideal if there are guests in the living room and you want to go to the bathroom wearing your pyjama. - Walls are very thin and not soundproof at all, so you’d better hope not to have noisy neighbours. - Doors can't be locked, so other guests could go in your room when you are not there. - The most inconvenient thing is that there is a huge shutter at the entrance of the yard (which is not on any pictures, making the house hard to find), which can only be opened by the owner (I wonder why he doesn’t lend keys to guests). This means that you can’t go in when the owner is not there, so you have to let him know your schedule and try to make it match his. It didn’t matter for us as we stayed for only two nights, but for longer stays this could be a serious problem.

Love the Japanese style house, the garden, the tea ceremony, and the host.

Only one toilet for guests.

everything the kindest old man in the world I had the most beautiful tea ceremony and I learned so much I definitely will be back again I hope soon but the love and hospitality you feel while you’re there is amazing and the view is amazing as well the home is so beautiful and you can’t beat it for the price

It was a unique experience. We enjoyed the Japanese tea ceremony and the owner was very accommodating and friendly. Only thing was we got lost finding it, luckily the owner came and managed to find us :) my kids enjoyed it very much.

We got a little lost and there was a language barrier. Fortunately the owner found us :)
