Taijin is really friendly, and the breakfast is delicious. 老闆很友善,早餐非常豐盛、好吃!

여자 혼자 3박 4일 여행 다녀왔는데요, 유후인 숙소를 알아보다가 이곳을 알게 됐습니다 다케타시는 사실 알려진 관광지와 거리가 꽤 멀어요! 한번에 오는 교통편도 없어서 환승을 해야하구요 그치만 이곳에서 머문 하루가 너무 어마어마하게 행복해서 위치 정도는 가볍게 넘어가 줄 수 있습니다 타이지씨는 굉장히 친절하고 편안한 매력을 가지고 있었어요 저는 당시 많이 긴장한 상태로 여행을 하고 있었는데 타이지씨를 만난 뒤에야 여유가 생겼고 처음으로 웃을 수 있었어요! 제가 머문 방은 크고 깔끔하고 따뜻했습니다 욕실에서 작은 탕이 있는데요 거기 들어가 있으면 계곡에서 흐르는 물소리가 크게 들렸고 욕실을 둘러싼 나무 냄새도 너무 좋았어요 또 다음 날 아침 제 방 커튼을 걷어보니 보이는 풍경도 절대 잊지 못할 것 같아요 아침 식사도 입맛에 꼭 맞았어요 일본에서 사먹은 음식 중에서도 타이지씨가 차려준 아침이 가장 맛있었어요!!! 사진 소개를 왜 저렇게 했지 싶을 정도로... 정말 감동이었습니다 하카타 역에서 4시간 넘게 달려서 왔지만 후회 없는 하룻밤이었어요 저는 다음에 후쿠오카에 온다면 이곳에서 머물 생각입니다 다케타시는 인터넷에 소개가 잘 안 되어 있어요 잘 알려지지 않은 마을이래요 그치만 주변에 온천도 있고 산책 코스도 잘 되어 있더라구요 역에 관광소가 있으니 오셔서 조용히 머물다가는 것도 추천합니다 정말 제 여행에서 가장 기억 남는 사람, 숙소, 마을이었어요 잊지 못할 하루였습니다 너무 감동이었어요 감사해요!

Taiji's cooking and knowledge of food is incredible. He prepares the tofu, grows the shiitake, catches and smokes the fish, hunts the boar, brews the plum wine, ferments the miso and grows all of the veggies. He may even treat you to the elusive nukasuke pickle. Extra points for the bath and the trad hospitality.

It was the best experience in my life! Amazing view, delicious breakfast, very kind and helpful host! Everything was perfect. I love here's wood bathtub. Smells so good and healthy! I recommend this house. とてもおすすめできる民泊です。 田舎でのんびりしたい方には最高だと思いますよ! 夏は涼しいし秋は風景がすごく素敵らしいです。 夏になったらぜひまた行きたいairbnbでした! Taijiさん, pick up&drop off 本当にありがとうございました!! See you!

Warm welcome ,Very nice place It is a great experience and i really love food Taiji cook it was the great. Thank you very very very much.if hav the time i will come back. it was so happy to be stay

Taiji is the awesome guy. I use airbnb most time. And I definitely recommend this place for you guy. Great view, great environment. Sleep by river and listen the nature sound. On the other hand, Taiji is good at cooking. I also paid the dinner and the food was delicious. It ade me impressive. The most important thing, Taiji was very friendly, he made me feel comfortable just like home. The location is a little inconvenience for people to arrive if you don't drive car. Howerever you could make reservations first and Taiji would like to pick up you. Be careful, there are some bugs may get into the house.

일본 여행중 최고의 시간이라고 해도 과언이 아닐 정도로 휼륭하고 값진 시간이었습니다 공개하지 않은 내부 사진과 한적한 위치 때문에 걱정이 있었으나 의구심이 들 정도의 저렴한 가격과 호스트가 해주는 맛있고 정갈한 일본 가정식 그리고 온천까지 있어서 전세계어딜가도 이 가격에 누릴수없는 호화를 즐길 수 있습니다 이글을 보는 즉시 예약하세요 반드시!

寧靜小村,房東熱情款待,美味早餐。

The residential building looks a little bit old outside, but the interior is well renovated and clean. You will have everything you need and Ken is a kind and friendly person.

A very nice place, good for the price. Buses to Kumamoto Castle are quite close. And lot of restaurants near the apartment.

everything is good thank you i have fun!

I've been to Kotas place with my girlfriend on our Journey to Japan. Kota has shown us typical japanese life in his cosy, comfortable farmhouse. I was surprised about so much care and hospitality by an Airbnb-host. We have been hiking, eating, had some bbq with some of Kotas friends in his farmhouse. For us this stay really was one of our highlights on our Japanese Journey. This place is perfect if you like to get in touch with Japanese culture and people. Absolutely high recommended!

The host canceled this reservation 16 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

A lovely stay for experiencing the country side of Japan. The host Kota is very nice, he is willing to take us and show the traditional place of Japan, e.g. castle ruin, onsen, park, waterfall. Highly recommended for a stay in Japan's country side!

Kota’s house is in a beautiful, peaceful location and is a perfect place to stay if you want to feel apart of Japan. During our stay Kota welcomed us into his home, introduced us to his friends and shared many of the delights of the region. Kota provided us with information and personal opinions so that we could explore the area on bike and foot. Most importantly he is an Onsen expert who enjoyed showing us his favorite places to relax at the end of the day. We would strongly recommend his house to anyone who wanted to enjoy a beautiful part of Japan.

I am very impress Taketa city. The host and his friends are friendly and kind. If you are the one who like nature, Taketa is a good place to stay. I can drink water from the river, eat tomato from the garden. I love Taketa.

Host is very nice and communicative, prompt response to all of my questions. The place was clean, spacious, and cozy. Just the signal is weak but wifi is provided in house, recommended for road trip traveller.

Kota's place is a lovely traditional Japanese house that has a great view for star gazing at night.  He was a wonderful host and very accommodating. He offered us some delicious mushroom tea. Unfortunately he had to work so we didn't get to spend much time with him. But he has a vast knowledge of the area and gave us many wonderful recommendations for food and activites. My friends and I had a great stay. If your looking for a very traditional Japanese style adventure Kota's place is great.

Kota is a wonderful host that will give you a memorable countryside experience of Japan. We cooked together, planted plants in his organic farm and took photos under the stars. Kota knows lots of hiking trails and is very familiar with the area, so he can be a great guide and also give good advice. Something off the beaten track, would definitely recommend the experience.

Asuka's place is really nice! The room is quite big and comfy. The place in general is super confortable, clean and very well located; you can walk from the bus station, it takes 2 minutes. Takachiho is a beautiful city with many amazing places to visit around and fun activities to do; you should definitely go to the theater on the shrine at night! All hosts were very welcoming and helped us with recommendations. We really enjoyed our time in Takachiho, thank you for everything!

Near the bus station and Takachiho Jinjya which is very convenient for your trip. As the check in time is late, it is easier to plan tighter schedule before check in especially when you are not bringing too much luggage. Friendly service. タクシーを予約してくれて本当にありがとうございました!

オーナーの方が親切で観光プランまで考えてもらえたのがよかったです。

The guesthouse was adorable and really friendly! Our host struggled with English but still was able to recommend wonderful activities around Takachiho, as well as get us a table at the local izakaya across the street where we had the best chicken nanban I've had. Really warm and cozy, definitely recommend for anyone's stay in Takachiho!

I had a room in the local guest house. The owners were INCREDIBLY friendly. I could also tell that they took immense pride in their guest house. It was very clean and organized. It was also close to the Takachiho station. I highly recommend this place for your next Takachiho visit.

I think there can be no better inn to stay in Takachiho than here. The tidiness and detail-oriented design are very impressive. Takachino is also awesome. 5-star recommended.

Asuka is definitely a superhost. The place is clean, near and easily accessible. She also helped me to plan my next bus trip safely and correctly. どもありがとうございます!

We did not meet Asuka. The people that took care of the guesthouse were very friendly, although they did not speak english. The room was very big and clean.

사진만 보고는 많은 기대를 안 했지만 직접 가서 보니 엄청나게 좋았어요! 독채라는 부분도 마음에 들었고 청결해서 너무너무 마음에 들었습니다. 차가 없이는 가기 힘들것 같지만 다시 한번 꼭 가고 싶은 곳입니다.

물소리 새소리 가득한 멋진숙소! 온천도좋고 숙소도 깔끔하고 좋습니다 집주인 부부도 매우친절합니다 직접 만든 빵과 편백 나무 선물까지 주셨습니다

자연속에 물소리들으면서 노천탕에서 온천도 하고 힐링할 수 있는 펜션같은 숙소입니다. 다만 처음에 찾아가기가 어렵고 근처에 식당찾기가 어려워 재료를 사가지고가서 취사하는게 좋아보입니다. 주인아주머니도 친절하시고 좋습니다.

제가 다시 후쿠오카에 가게 된다면 반드시 이 곳에서 다시 묵을 겁니다. 정말 낭만적이고 아름다운 장소였습니다. 행복한 추억을 만들고 갑니다.

This was the best stay of my whole Japan vacation. The host 国治-San and his wife were extremely nice. He picked us up from Aso station, which is about 1 hour drive from the house. The scenery was so nice alone the way that we stopped a few times to take pictures. The house is in the quiet mountain, with a private onsen, and two open air onsens. We enjoyed them so much! The house was well equipped with AC, TV, and a kitchen. There is also a balcony that you can have breakfast at. We even got a bottle of sake as gift! On the next day, 国治-San spend the whole morning guide us around the museum and send us to the station. He gave a piece of a wood which was cut from a 200-year-old tree to each of our three kids. The kids were so happy and has kept it as their best souvenir from Japan. When we were at the station, our kids were already asking when we would come back for another vacation. I would definitely recommend this house to everyone that want a peaceful and relaxing onsen vacation. And we are already planning to come back for the winter vacation! 5-star is the highest rating of Airbnb but I really wanted to give a 10-star if I could.

Very clean house with relaxing onsens in the middle of a beautiful scinery near a river. The hosts are very friendly Highly recommended

Perfect, amazing, such a great and isolated place.

We stayed there for a night which was the highlight of our trip. The cottage was clean and tidy with Wi-Fi and the basic kitchen utensils. The environment was natural and peaceful. The host and his wife are very nice and friendly. We were comfortable staying in the house enjoying the sushi and sweet melon bought from the supermarket the host showed us. We have used both the house onsen and the outside onsen with a small waterfall nearby by during our stay. It was awesome especially the outside onsen with the nice natural scenery as bonus. Though our stay was only one night but was very enjoyable. The host gave us two pieces of small wood as gift. We would like to go there again in near future. We highly recommend this one for those travellers who like seeing nature beauty.

The place is in a very quiet town called Tsuetate. There are several public hot springs around, and they're all great especially considering Yoshiori's place doesn't include a shower. The place itself is huge! It's an older building but you're given a lot of space and great sleeping futons. Yoshiori is a very chill guy, nice enough to even remind me about leaving my car lights on through the evening. I would definitely recommend this place if you are interested in checking out hot springs around Japan.

The house is near the river, good view, fresh air and so comfy like you stay home. Beautiful small town. Ideal for those who like nature to relax, peaceful, good onsen and friendly people.

Nice Airbnb Visit next time and highly recommend to you

杖立温泉では今のところ唯一のAirbnbだと思いますが立地良く、親切にいろいろと教えていただきました。 家は広々と1人ではもったいないくらいでしたが暖かく心地よく過ごさせていただきました。 玉子もサービスしていただき湯煙で温泉玉子にして美味しくいただきました。 次回はぜひ友人や家族と訪れたいと思います。

新しい建物ではないですが、古い建物の良さが残った良いお家で、非常に旅行気分を味わえました。

What a dream of a spot. An impressive, multi-story, older Japanese home in a gorgeous little dense residential area of a beautiful, slightly off the normal tourist path onsen town. The town, Tsuetate, itself is full of soak-abilities without any of the fuss that normally accompanies onsen towns in Japan. Yoshiori-san, the host, was an absolute gem and incredibly helpful. Highly recommended.

This was one of the coolest airbnb stays I've ever had! All the accommodation in Kurokawa Onsen is quite pricey so this was a great find! Yoshiori was very helpful, he met us with his car and took us to the parking space right next to the river. What a cool town, there's hot spring steam coming out everywhere next to the river! The house is huge and the room is comfortable. We had a very restful night after spending a day Onsen hopping in Kurokawa Onsen. Yoshiori was so kind he provided everything we could ever need and even two eggs so we can try out the Onsen steamer right outside! Btw he is one of the few people in japan that speaks good English! Awesome experience! Highly recommended :)

Wow wow wow. This was definitely a great experience. Yoshiori was very kind and very very friendly. Online communication with him was very prompt, although talking face to face were a little hard as we needed to use iPhone translation mostly. Anyway, his helpfulness went to the level that he literally spent half an hour showing and explaining all the things we could use in his house, that was very nice. The selection of tea (10+ choices, e.g. mint, jasmine, etc.), green tea, ground coffee, the eggs we could steam outside! It was really a local experience.

We had an amazing and lovely stay at kaoru's place. Kaoru responded to our queries very quickly. We had a difficulty to find the place, but kaoru guided us accordingly. You would not regret staying at this house, host parents are warm and friendly. We were travelling with 3 small kids (under 3yrs old), host parents were very accommodating and also, kept our kids entertained. We love everything about the house, from amazing view with overlooking mountain, river and the rest areas with beautiful garden and flowers. The house is so beautifully decorated, cosy, clean and unique as well. Dinner experience was unforgettable, sitting next to the old Japanese kitchen/fire with the music on. I definitely loved the musics chosen by the host Father, mostly are the old American folk songs, it was played using an old vintage player. To us, it just seemed so relax and food prepared by host Mother was so tasty. We really enjoyed our stay and hope can visit the host parents again!

Maison traditionnelle dans un cadre très reposant ,fleuri au bord d'une rivière , acueil chalereux et repas exceptionnel. Adresse à retenir si vous visitez la region

Great experionce living in Yamato Cho. Kaka san and Chichi san hosted us feeling at home. Thank you

A real Japanese experience you never get from staying in a hotel. Hosts are wonderful couple. They are friendly and nice. House and bedroom are spacious. Their cooking is fantastic! Make sure you try everything they place on your table.

Kaoru's parents were fabulous hosts helped and arranged everything around our stay. Delicious japanese/western breakfast was included and we also ordered dinner once. We were actually part of the family during our stay

This is an excellent traditional house and the hosts are very kind and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a wonderful time and would love to have stayed longer.

The best Airbnb experience I had! Beautiful traditional Japanese house, which is 160 years old! You can find a traditional bath and fireplace inside. Moreover the garden is very well done. The hosts are amazing, very kind, very happy. You can have a homemade dinner and breakfast, just perfect. I strongly recommend it! Le top du top! Cinq étoiles pour les hôtes, gentilesse, générosité, adorable. La cuisine est délicieuse et faite maison! Maison typique japonaise de 160 ans, un petit paradis. A faire absolument! ありがとうございます!

Our stay here has been exceptional. The hosts have been amazing, they are such beautiful kind people that we sincerely hope to meet again. This has been the best part of our visit to Japan! Thank you so much for making us and our family feel so welcome. We will miss you ChiChi and KaKa!!! Highly recommend to stay here.

Very nice host! We changed the meeting time twice during the day because of the bad weather, and the host happily complied! Cozy traditional Japanese house with delicious breakfast! The kid was not noisy at all so no problem about that.

Our time at Yu's was fantastic: they are a very sweet and friendly family who go out of their way to help you, like bringing you back and forth from the Kurokawa onsen area (as the house is located 15 mins away by car). During our stay, the other guests' kids woke us up both mornings. Not much to do about that but perhaps letting the guests know that there are some other people sleeping would have prevented this. Other than that, we loved the atmosphere and the time there :)

쿠로카와 온천안에있는 료칸은 너무 비쌉니다. Yu 상의 숙소는 쿠로카와 중심지에서 조금 떨어져있어 가격도 저렴하고, 매우매우 친절하고 행복한 가정을 이룬 Yu 상의 가족분들이 차로 데려다주셔서, 전혀 불편함없이 너무 행복하게 보내다 갑니다! 저녁에 밤하늘 가득 떠있는 아름다운 별들도 볼수있고 너무 조용하고 한적한 100년의 전통을 가진 호스트께서 셀프 인테리어 하신 집에서 꼭 행복한 하루를 보내시길 추천드립니다! 어머니와 함께 너무 편히 쉬다 가서 꼭 여름에 다시 Yu 상의 집에묶으며 쉬고싶습니다!

The guesthouse is very comfortable with unique wodden interior. The host and her family is very helpful, patient and friendly. I enjoyed very much talking with them about Japanese lifestyle and craft. Hightly recommented for a unique experience in an traditional Japanese house.

A very good living experience! I am coming for hot spring in kurokawa, the distance from this house to kurokawa is about 15min by car. The host and hostess are very kind people, they drive to pick us up at kurokawa bus station and also send us back at the next day. We have a separate room, the bed is very soft and room is clean. It is an interesting experience to live in a local Japanese House. Btw, the baby is so cute^^

素敵なオーナー夫妻でした。子供さんも可愛らしく癒されました。 GWに利用させていただきましたが、確かに朝晩は少し冷えます。ナイロンパーカーなど、サッと羽織れるものがあるといいです。 タオルなども持参してくださいね。

位置稍微有点远,而且有一段楼梯,带重的行李的话不太方便。房东人挺好的,不过如果卫生弄得更干净点就好了。

Very kind and warm hosts with lovely baby girl. Would recommend before or after onsen hopping.

Murakami-san is a very friendly and patient host. He tries his best to serve his guest well and let the guest experience the traditions of Japanese cultural. We had a good talking while having dinner with his humor, it was fun and memorable. I will definitely go back to stay/visit him again. Highly recommand if you are looking to experience very traditional japanese lifestyle and get to know a new friend in Japan.

外国人のお客さんが多く開店以来3人目の日本人の宿泊客でした。阿蘇の中央の古民家一軒家です。今風のイノベーションされた建屋ないので、リアルな古民家を体験できます。 ホストは親切で人当たりのいい方です。話が盛り上がると止まらない時もありますのはたまに傷かも(意味深) 囲炉裏を囲んで皆でワイワイとご飯食べて楽しく過ごせると思います。

This is a very authentic experience, with a very warm host! Strongly recommended that you have dinner with him - it's a great experience. He has lots of stories to tell - his English may not be perfect but is certainly good enough to convey his warmth. He's a real farmer, and you'll get to eat the rice he planted (it's good). The experience forces you to slow down and appreciate life. There's a hot air balloon experience nearby if you would like it - it closes at 730am. The stillness of dawn is worth the early wake up tomorrow. This is in a village - so yes, expect bugs, midnight rooster conversations and don't forget to say hi to Tama-Chan, his adorable cat that will sit in your lap the moment you crouch near it. For those who feel creepy easily, it might not be for you. This is quite secluded, and certainly not close to the city but a short drive brings you to a clothing store, grocery shops and a laundromat.

If you want to this, I highly recommend this house. • To feel traditional & local Japanese living • Not to think your schedule • To talk to the host • To see many stars at night • To experience Japanese original culture • To feel great nature of Aso • To stay for a long days without thinking The host is very helpful. At dinner & breakfast, you will buy some food at supermarkets before arriving this house. You'd better buying food LESS than you'd like to eat. That's because the host serves some dishes besides you buy. Total dishes is too much. And, he don't tell you what & how many dishes does he serve. He just tell "I don't know. You choose." It's difficult to choose food. Because It's traditional house, they have no lock. Bathroom is newly!

最后没有入住。 去了之后看见两个东西比较震悚,一个是房间墙上挂满了先人们的遗像(也许是日本传统?)。还有就是没有任何取暖设备,三月的熊本晚上快零度了呀。。。

If you are looking to live a true experience outside of touristic paved tracks, this is for you. Yes, Legend of Otohime is an old, authentic house. It suffered from April 2016 earthquake (bathroom not operating). But it has the taste of legendary places and allows you to live an authentic traditional Japan stay. Murakami-san has kept his child spirit and he will treat you like the most important guest. I have enjoyed our discussions around the central fire. The non operating bathroom provided a good excuse to try onsens around.

We stayed for 5 nights over golden week and really enjoyed Mr.Murakami's 80 years ancient house.The location is perfect in the beautiful Aso countryside and his rice field is right next to the house. Mr.Murakami is a lovely host who made sure everything we needed. We had nice Japanese foods (as option), meat and vegetables are grilled over charcoal fire by the side of "IRORI" fireplace (open hearth) in front of us. He took us every night to the nice hot spring just 5 minutes by his car.We would love to stay definitely at here again and again.

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
