Great location - Nagata was a perfect area for getting away from the crowds. It’s close to the beach and a secluded valley. I felt like I had an authentic stay in a traditional Japanese home - using the Japanese toilet (which didn’t smell at all) and sleeping on futon and tatami. The host also prepared the bath for us and it was really nice especially after long hikes. Coffee and tea were provided, and the washing machine was also a plus.

    “It was one of a kind experience I have to say. During the pandemic, the host only accept one group per night and since I was a solo traveller it was a little spooky at night. It was really dark all around too. The house is very well-maintained....”
