Loved the location and the landlord couple. A car is useful, but it worked just fine also without. Mind: late autumn to early spring are really cold.

“Sadly disappointed.”

The main house looked very nice, but I cannot comment as we did not stay there.

“Had great time the host has been kind to me helping me out ☺️”

“You get a deep sense of history and living atmosphere of older times”

Beautiful house with beautiful tokonoma, tatami and and amazing look from inside the house to the outside; the hosts explained the historical background of the house - we were deeply impressed; hosts are also experienced with Japanese tea ceremony; just sitting there and watching the beautiful interior is a moment where you can grasp a bit of Japanese older times; the hosts were extremely welcoming and friendly; sitting together with them was a moment of ichigo - ichie;

“Novel stay in an accessible yet historic place”

It was very traditional and the hosts were very welcoming (: We got along well in English. The property itself is a bit of a marvel and the facilities were quite reasonable. The bath is sizeable. Cleanliness was perfect! There was not a hair out of place. The walk from the station is about 10 minutes. Even in heavy snow most of the road was clear. It’s very easy to get to and from Tottori if you observe the schedule. I recommend the walk to Hamasaka station. There are places to eat in that part of town and we caught the bus to Yumura Onsen for a very pleasant day trip. It was a very comfortable stay. I recommend it greatly

This rambling old guest house run by the delightful Mr &Mrs Fujita gave us a traditional and unique Japanese experience. We used the house as a base to explore the region. I would recommend renting a car as restaurants etc are in the next town.

“Ideally located, price competitive”

Clean and location

“Traditional home stay with helpful owners”

Owners were very friendly, communicating in English and French, arranged for us a tea ceremony (with a short notice). We enjoyed our stay very much.

One of the best places we have stayed. Fantastic owners who could not have made us feel more at home. The room was very comfortable and a beautiful space. We had a view of the garden which was lovely

“If you want to have the feeling of a real Japanese traditional home, this is perfect.”

Suich a beautiful and historical Japananese home. Felt like we were experiencing history.

incredible friendly hosts, very traditional ryokan, we got suggestions and all our questions got answered, very interesting history of the ryokan, quite comfortable

“Amazing and very special stay at this authentic Japanese house of the most wonderfull host and hostess. Thank you.”

The best stay in Japan for us. So much hospitality, beautiful authentic Japanese house and a lovely garden.

The owners were very kind. Mr. Fujita picked us up at the train station, brought us to the supermarket and to a really nice top hill view site. The guided tour of the house was really interesting. It was only one night stay but we felt at home.

“Outstanding hosts. Historical house”

Wonderful hosts. Very nice house. However, we stayed in an annex that is on the other side of the street that has not the charm of the main guesthouse.

“The hosts were outstanding”

Wonderful hosts. Excellent property. Shame we couldn’t stay longer. Our host even called ahead to ask a restaurant to open to cook us a meal as we arrived on a quiet night. They were so wonderful and made the stay really welcoming. Thank you

The couple who own the house were very kind and friendly. The building is a beautiful, old Japanese house and is a unique place to stay.

I was treated like family. Thank you very much for everything! Never forget!

We felt like visiting family, because Mr. and Mrs. Fujita vere so kind, they took care of us in warmhearted way. Food here was amazing, we also went to a tea ceremony which I will never forget, it was beautiful. House is wonderful and sorroundings as well. We wish Mr. and Mrs. Fujita all the best and lots of health. Thank you very much for everything. :)

I really loved the kotatsu, it was pretty cold weather and kotatsu provided much comfort. The room is spacious, you have kettle and tea. Wifi was working well. It was a nice stay overall and a cool experience of staying in a traditional old house. There is also a parking next to the house, which is very convenient if you travel by car. The elderly couple who own the place were very welcoming and kind, gave us advice where to get dinner and groceries, as there is not much in the town itself. We also got coffee and snack for breakfast.

“A heart-warming homestay with a very nice host”

Host of the property is very kind, warm and friendly who is making sure we are ok. We stayed during the snowstorm in Dec/2022 and the host informed we can take our time for the check-out while waiting for the snowstorm to clear.
