Log House Hotel WOODDY: Watch Netflix in the large 100-inch private theater room
I had a very satisfying and fulfilling time in an environment surrounded by wood called a log house.

somos - In Tune with Nature
Great space.Whether it's the scenery or the charming town, everything is highly recommended!

302:Rocinante(馬) Private Suite
One of my most memorable stays yet. The host was so kind and not only drove me from the station to the house and back, but also showed me around the area. The house itself is the reason I wanted to stay there because it’s created so beautifully and surrounded by artworks made by the owner himself. I felt really cozy in my room, which was actually more like a small apartment, and loved admiring the view of the lake from the balcony. There are a few nature sites, shrines and a beautiful beach in the area but if you’re on foot like me, you’ll have to count on walking a LOT. There’s not a lot to do in the neighbourhood but it’s definitely worth a visit if you want to spend some time in peace and quiet.

Lovely room in rural location. delicious breakfast. Shinji was so helpful in booking us a rental car, sorting out ferries and advising us about our bikes. Thank you so much

Alpine Lodge in Hakuba, 2 share/double room #2
We had the best stay at Shayne’s place. It is in such a great location. A short and beautiful walk around 10 minutes and you’re in town. Shayne was an awesome host, super helpful with recommendations and transportation around town. A really welcoming place, with a communal feel making it easy to make friends. Would definitely stay here again!

HOUSEHOLD is an absolute pearl! We spent two nights in the former Obi factory, discovering first the little details of the place, and later the closer surroundings of Himi town. The room we have stayed in was on the top floor and was wonderful—overlooking the misty Toyama Bay, we fell asleep to the sound of the waves and woke up to the morning sun. The food and coffee we were served were just impeccable, the recommendations for lunch and dinner were sincere and outstanding. We were able to go fishing one afternoon together with the owner Natsumi-san and had an absolutely great time! There is a huge kitchen to use (f.ex. to grill your caught fish), but there are many other things to do (library) and events (café, cooking courses, …) to attend. The entire team of HOUSEHOLD is very competent, funny, and incredibly kind.

Panketo Lodge: Triple Room w breakfast, BBQ & Yoga
The accommodation is very well located, clean, breakfast is very good with a baggle or a homemade muffin every morning. Hikes are a short walk away

10mins to Hakata♦Residence with reception service
I was traveling with my mom, so I was most concerned about the accommodation, but it was so nice~ It was the same as the picture, it was clean, and if you put the towels outside, they changed them every day! It was a little far from Hakata Station (15-20 minutes on foot?) It didn't feel far when I walked around sightseeing! There are 3 convenience stores nearby (Lossone, Family Mart, 7-Eleven) and it was nice that they were open 24 hours. I was worried that Japanese accommodations would be cold in winter, but the heater works really well and the hot water works really well!! If you don't mind walking a little, I recommend this accommodation. The river view👍 from the balcony was also pretty.

Hotel 🏨Sumoto BC with 302 rooms has an excellent view, is close to Supermarket Naruka, and is convenient for sightseeing.
I was looking for a hotel in Sumoto, and I found a hotel island (Shikano-Kaze) on Air Bnb The hotel is well cleaned, has everything you need, and the staff and owner are very kind. I would definitely recommend this place to enjoy Sumoto It is a hotel suitable for both short-term stays and consecutive nights, making it easy to travel to various places. The sea is also close, which is great! The exact address seems to be Sumoto Honmachi 2-2-2. It was listed as 2-2-33 at the time of booking, so you can definitely visit!

A secluded beachfront hideaway in Fukugi trees!
Excellent location, on the beach. The room is very spacious and comfortable, the bathroom is spectacular. The cafe downstairs has great service, great hours of service. Only arriving at night was complicated as it is long from the bus station and obscuro. But everything perfect

CASA DUMAI OceanVilla NAKIJIN202 Sunset
The room was nice. The bed was big and comfortable, and so was the toilet. Parking was easy too. Do note that it’s quite far out so it’s nice and quiet but also limited in dining options especially at night. Overall, enjoyed our stay.

Superior room for 4 people _D6
It was difficult because the location was hard to find, but the accommodation was so nice ~ I'm willing to go back later

E6 Mt. Fuji location is great, next door to Hoshino Resort, and room 6 ply lake view side, new opening period
An incredible stay away from the tourist part of town with spectacular views from our room, the common spaces, and the outdoor deck. Because it is farther away from all of the tourists (which is great) and the town closes somewhat early, you will need to plan your meals accordingly if you don't want to hail a taxi or walk everywhere. But we did not find this to be a problem and enjoyed our evening strolls next to Mt Fuji in plain view :)

This was probably the most comfortable bed I've laid in... this capsule stay was amazing and I wish I was able to have stayed for more than just one night. The amenities were great. I would definitely stay here again!

NE6 Mt. Mt. Kawaguchi location is very good. Walking Oishi Park 3 minutes to reopen in December 2023 (Japanese-style room with 6 stacked lake view double room)
Thank you for the hospitality! The host greeted us upon arrival and explained the amenities and helped us to our room. The bedding was comfortable. It was peaceful and the reserved bath time was very enjoyable. Short walk to Oishi Park. We used the bicycles which was a highlight! Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Kelly’s place came with many amenities and was within walling distance of the subway station and many other sights. I would definitely comeback again.

Convenient for movement in the center of Wakayama.
The couple is very enthusiastic, pick me up at the airport to the homestay, and provided recommendations around the area. The location of the homestay is very good. It is within walking distance of the three walls and thousand tatami mats. Nearby bus stop to Shirahama Station is also very convenient.The room is very Japanese, you can see the sunset on the roof. I look forward to meeting you next time.

Sea Tigers
The hosts are very kind.There were many rooms, spacious, and I was able to relax in enough space for 10 people to stay.It is a private space with no people around, so there is no disturbance to anyone even if it is noisy.I highly recommend it.

505 JR3.5H, Car2H to Mt Koya.1.5H to Katsuura.
The host is very nice, I will drive to JR Shirahama Station to check in, will introduce lines and attractions along the way, hand painted map details after check-in, the room is traditional tatami, outside the window can see the sea, very good value for money.

503 japan style. Relief and relax in nature.
The host is a passionate couple, also wrote my Chinese name, hand painted a map of the spot for me, the view of the room is very nice, you can see the sea, the room is large.It was a very pleasant travel experience and will come back again next time.

Double Room in a lifestyle hotel with social vibe!
This space at Linnas was everything my wife and I could have hoped for. We stayed in Kanazawa for one full week, and we were so impressed by how convenient the location was. Everything in interest for us was within a 20-30 minute walk. Our private space was small, which is pretty standard for Japanese accommodations. The bed was comfortable, and we had enough space to access our bags when we needed to. It is important to note that the bathroom amenities (toilets, showers, shower/baths), kitchen, lounge area, and workout room are all shared spaces, but everything was kept very clean. The workout room was huge, and the kitchen was a real, fully stocked kitchen - much more so than the average “kitchens” found in the average Airbnb. Also, though shared, the bathroom spaces are very private when use, so no worries there. The showers are nice and hot too. If we were to stay in Kanazawa again, my wife and I would surely come back to visit Linnas. Thank you.

Had a wonderful time staying here for a few nights. The staff were friendly and even when neither of us could speak each others language they tried their best to understand. Their kitchen was marvellous and their shared spaces were beautiful.

Double Room Neagari F14
It was very clean and easy to stay, and the staff was very helpful.I had to consult with you before booking, but it was very helpful that they were willing to accept it. This time I really took care of you.Thank you very much.
