Monthly Rentals in Japan

Perfect stay - 100% recommend! We wish we could have stayed more as the place felt very homey. Anshang was very responsive and prepared a lot of brochures to help us prepare our visits on Shodoshima.

Loved staying at the secret base! This was the last place I stayed during my trip and I’m so glad I did, it was in a peaceful area far enough away from Tokyo to get a feel for the local area but not too far that going to Tokyo regularly isn’t doable. The room was spacious, clean, and the outdoor patio type area was nice to sit at during the rain or at night. Emiko the host is one of the most friendly and attentive hosts I’ve ever had her staff were kind and I felt like they actually cared thank you SPICA staff! Keep in mind the station is about a 15 minute walk on mostly flat ground but Emiko has bikes to use if needed. From Kawaguchi station to Shibuya station is about 30-40 minutes keep that in mind if staying out late for when the trains stop running. I’d also recommend Akabane an area just a 4 minute train ride from kawaguchi it’s a beautiful area with lots of restaurants and shops. I’d love to stay here again next time I’m in Tokyo!

Haruka and Tomoya san’s place is the place to be if you would like to experience the true yakushima nature. Not only the surroundings of the accomodation but the people you are surrounded by and get to interact with day to day really was the highlight of the trip. We had the best time learning to cut sashimi and talking to the family over the dinner table together. Haruka san was super responsive and helped us above and beyond a regular airbnb host - helped us find a rental car, and made restaurant bookings for us since we didn’t have a phone number. Truly grateful to have met her. The location is convenient with a car, 5min drive to Anbo (the port, restaurant and a supermarket). Also, 9min drive to Jomon Sugi trail bus stop, 25min drive to Hirauchi Kaichu Onsen (highly recommend and the family will be able to tell you when the low tides are during the season). It was a beautiful slow living experience and would love to be back soon!

This was the best stay we made for this trip in Japan.Mr. Mino proactively reached out to provide detailed trip and check-in instructions prior to our trip.Especially on the day we checked in, because of the bad weather and traffic conditions of Mt. Fuji, missed the morning to Mishima bus and change to transfer to the Shinkansen from Mishima in the afternoon.Mr. Mino continued to follow our itinerary, helping to plan every optional ride and appease our anxiety.Finally arrived to check in at 10 o'clock that night with the enthusiastic knowledge of Mr. Mino.The following two days, Mr. Moin was keen to help introduce, book local food, and transportation arrangements according to our needs until we left smoothly.It was a very nice experience, thank you Mr. Mino.The only regret is that this time our itinerary is too tight to stay in this wonderful and meaningful historical building to enjoy and hope to visit again in the future.
