“Great people, great breakfast and amazing views!”

The stay was excellent! 10 stars to the owners the man and woman were super nice and welcoming. I wish I stayed there longer.

Can’t remember such a heartwarming stay and caring hosts. ❤️❤️❤️ felt like at a loving home. Such a lovely place to stay after all the rushing towns and crowds. Cannot thank enough to the owners for the perfect stay at a traditional japanese house. Wish them all the best.

Amazing place. Amazing host. I would give 11/10 if possible. Love the breakfast.

“Stay here for a taste of authentic Japan”

This is a lovely, traditional minshuku (and what might appear 'dated' in other settings is charming here - who doesn't love a pink bathroom!). 2 adults and 2 older teens stayed here for 2 nights in order to experience a more traditional side of Japan. It did not disappoint. Sleeping on futons is not for everyone, but was embraced by the family. We were the only guests while we were there, so the bathroom was only shared by our family. The bathing space (traditional tub which was (WONDERFUL) is separate to the toilet, and there is a two-sink vanity unity in the verandah area. Water and a welcome soup on arrival were appreciated. Our host was warm and welcoming to 4 very hot and sweaty travellers. The hospitality extended to driving us all to the train station on our departure morning - which was greatly appreciated during a heatwave. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance (but be warned that the sashimi moriawase at Yamamototei may still be moving....) Hamanabo was our favourite. We rented bicycles at Bentenjima beach (ebikes available, and for 6'7" husband) and we cycled to Kanzanji-cho on a very good cycle path, with a dip in Hamana-ko at the beach where there are changing and toilet facilities.

The location was very beautiful and there were lots of places to walk with our dogs and take in the nice scenery. The Flat was large and the kitchen was well equipped.

“I had an amazing stay at this place! The space was spotless, tidy, and had a warm, welcoming atmosphere. What really sto”

It was very comfortable. Well prepared and clean.

“Really loved this highly memorable place, a totally different experience and a great resting spot.”

Wonderful kind friendly owners, happy to let us check in early and gave us a lift to the station. Totally different experience being in a fishing village. Delicious miso provided on our first night. Loved the deep herbal bath. Super spacious family room. Generous supplies of everything you could need. Great to have a big couch and enjoyed the views.

Takahashi Kashibuneten (also a charter boat service) is a rare and classic minshuku in the true sense of the word. Stay here to experience what travel was like back in the Showa era. I will visit again!

Very clean. The room was pretty big and had a chair and table, which was nice. Everything was clean (:

“High recommendation”

Such a lovely place and host. Owner get me to railwaystation without asking. Good breakfast at nice atmosphere.

“Great!”

The staff was very kind! Warm welcome. Keen on helping in whatever you need.

“Great quiet location and spacious room.”

Spacious room looking on to the lake. Lovely quiet area for a walk at night. Free bikes for rent so you can go see what Hamamatsu has to offer. Top bloke that runs it and is so helpful. The clam miso soup on arrival was great.

“Close concact with Japanese style of living”

Everything here feels like 50 years back. Old but very clean. Save the ticket to use a timemachine. The owner is a warm-hearted man who can speak some English. Welcome soup tastes good.

“Perfect escape from the city buzz.”

Location was unique. Peaceful to get some writing done. Free bike to use. Owner super accommodating.

Nice and comfy room. They provided asari miso soup when I arrived which was perfect.
