    I slept like a baby. Bed is really comfortable. The place is clean and relaxing. The host is really friendly and helpful. I stayed just one night, but I suggest to spend more days here. I'll be back!

    If I could give an 11/10 I would. The owner made everything so smooth, and assisted me wherever I needed help! Due to the bad weather I spent a decent amount in the guesthouse, and it was perfect. Great beds, beautiful designed and good coffee!

    The host was so kind and friendly. The room was spacious especially for Japanese standards. Everything was new, clean and organized. It is a 10-minute walk from the train station and downtown. I highly recommend this place.
