The property was a Japanese style home. We got to experience the Japanese way of living. It was in a great location and a cute neighborhood. The owner is very sweet and she did have information in English. We were lucky to have someone that spoke Japanese with us to make things easier, but we could have gotten through the check in if we didn’t have a Japanese speaker with us.

The location was very good, basically at the town center. Our room was very big and comfortable, we had good air conditioning and clean towels. There was free sake and breakfast breads. Toilet paper was soft and the shower was cute, shampoo smelled nice. Felt like a home.

The owner was really friendly and helped me with anything I needed. Beds were comfortable and I had use of the kitchen to make dinner. Complimentary pastries were in the kitchen so you could take one per day for breakfast

I really enjoyed staying at Satomachi. It's geared up for hikers so don't expect luxury, but it has everything you need including a fully equipped kitchen. As noted in other reviews, the landlady is incredibly nice and attentive. It's right by the river and 5 min walk from the nearest bus stop. The place also seems to be a bit of a local institution. Everyone in town knew it.

We had a great stay. Especially if you're planning to do the Jomon Sugi hike this is a great choice as the bus stop is around the corner. We can recommend the breakfast and lunch box as well. The host was very kind and really helpfull!

The owner was very nice and kind to me and was very communicative. She's an old lady living downstairs but she would take time to walk upstairs to chat with me to make sure everything's ok and asked me about my hiking plan, though she didn't speak English and my Japanese is very broken, we communicated well with a translator app 😉 Staying in this minshuku in this village was simple yet lovely. The bath was a treat after hiking. Its close to the river and it's nice to stroll along even after a long day hike. I also liked that there's a kitchen. She also got everyone some lovely bread for breakfast, with coffee, tea and local shochu available on the kitchen bench. The kitchen and eating area were great for socializing with other guests. I would love to stay here again. ありがとうございます✨

It's located in a picturesque area and easier to get to if you don't drive. The lady who own the place is very friendly and accommodating. You can also order the bento for early morning hike.

Location is in the center of Anbo village. The older lady who was in charge of practical things, was really lovely and helpful. Room was clean. Guest House style with shower only from 16 to 22 pm. Guests staying in this place are usually going to hike. Because of that silence preferred after 22 pm.

Very helpful staff even though we arrived quite late, very sweet and charming lady who helped us order food for the very long hike of the day after (saved our day!). She also had many recommendations flyers about the hike, even though she didn't speak English, we appreciated this a lot! Great place to leave early for Jomon sugi 👍

The landlady was very nice and welcoming. There was breakfast and drinks provided that you could help yourself to.
