House is great. Not very close to the city center but not far. Parking is street parking so not applicable.

We stayed in this renovated traditional nagaya (row house), which has a very stylish design both inside and out. It’s a charming space, with a calm, minimal aesthetic. However, it’s worth noting that this is not a hotel but more of a self-service holiday rental (closer to an Airbnb-style stay), with limited in-person service or support. If you’re booking via Booking.com, you might assume it’s a hotel-style experience — it isn’t quite that. As for location, it’s listed as being 1.2 km from the nearest station (about a 12-minute walk), but in practice, you’ll likely need to take a taxi if you have children or elderly travellers with you. Due to the layout of the roads, taxis must take a longer route, and the fare tends to be around ¥1,000–¥1,200 — not just the base fare. The house is located in a quiet residential area, and taxis don’t regularly pass by, so you’ll need to use a taxi app. The property is described as having a “tea room style” interior, which is accurate in terms of decor, but there’s no actual tea ceremony experience provided. Similarly, while coffee equipment is available, there were only drip bags and tea packets, not fresh beans or any kind of curated drink experience. Just something to be aware of — though of course this is a matter of expectation. In our case, we booked for two adults and four children via Booking.com, assuming this was reflected in the booking. However, only the two adults were shown in the actual reservation (perhaps this was our oversight). At check-in, we were informed of an additional charge for the children — initially quoted as ¥48,000. To be fair, the host was flexible and kindly reduced the charge to ¥24,000, which we appreciated. Still, it ended up being a rather expensive lesson 🤭. This type of accommodation might suit younger travellers looking for a simple, authentic local living experience. However, if you’re expecting hotel-style service or clear and predictable pricing, this may not be the best fit.

“Big disappointment, capsules whereas we booked bedrooms.”
Hard to say what is nice as the whole place was such a disappointment and we were afraid one of us might get injured using the staircase down from the capsules. We liked to look at the garden, the bathroom is nice.

“Very high confort”
Very good place. Very clean and modern. Parking possible very close. We stay at 4 people but the appartment is for 6 or more. But the common space could be too small for more than 4 people.
