“Highly recommended! Such a unique and warm experience :)”
+Amazing multi course meals for breakfast and dinner each day (the sushi is truly exceptional and the best food we had on our trip), super comfortable and spacious living area (the sauna / bathtub room was wonderful and so relaxing), and warm and enjoyable conversations with our hosts and a drive to and walk around the bamboo forest where local history was shared, made this an unforgettable experience on our trip!
−We liked everything:)

“Cozy and clean with kind hosts”
+The couple who ran the bed and breakfast like inn were warm and accommodating. Since you are staying in their home, it felt like you were staying with a great uncle. There was ample space for the four of us. The owner drove us to the train station in the morning and to lunch.
−Food is traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast that my family had a difficult time stomaching. Be prepared to be staying in someone’s home.

“Unforgettable and truly unique experience.”
+Staying here felt much more like being welcomed into someone’s home than checking into a hotel. The atmosphere was warm, genuine, humorous and deeply personal - something that is incredibly rare to find. The dinner was simply outstanding. Satoshi is an exceptional sushi chef, and every dish reflected his decades of experience, precision, and passion. It was not just a meal, but a thoughtfully curated journey through Japanese cuisine - without a doubt one of the most memorable dining experiences we have ever had. What made our stay even more special was the early morning tour. Being personally guided to the bamboo forest and surrounding areas before the crowds arrived was something we would never have experienced on our own. Seeing these places in such peace and quiet gave them an entirely different, almost magical atmosphere. Above all, we would like to thank Satoshi and his wife for their incredible hospitality. The way they welcomed us, took care of every detail, and shared their home and culture with us was truly special and deeply appreciated. This experience will stay with us for a very long time, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for something authentic, personal, a
−Some say it’s a bit outside the crowded area of Tokyo with its night life and pulsing atmosphere. While we felt this being the magic of this part of the town, as you get to see a second, very beautiful face of this amazing city. Nothing to take away of any of the 11 out of 10 ranking points.

“Superb experience from beginning to end.”
+The dinner was an experience. Satoshi is an outstanding sushi chef and besides an incredible dinner and breakfast, we were treated to a comfortable room, bath, and a ride to the bamboo forest in the morning. It felt warm and welcoming and the entire family had a wonderful time.

“A glimpse of a sushi chef who’s been working on his craft for 40 plus years and being able to live in a Japanese home.”
+I read that in a lifetime you only get to meet around 80,000 people. What I loved about this property is that it’s a home. It’s not a hotel or villa. It felt like a true authentic ryokan and experience from someone who does not travel much. The sushi was impeccable and one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life. In one night and day, I’ve tasted over 30 different dishes. Each carefully selected dish reflected what a Japanese person would eat. From puffer fish to seasonal sushi (fatty tuna made me tear up how good it was), and grilled fish to firefly squid. I’m not a drinker but the homemade Japanese plum wine Jell-O shot was pretty good. This is a highlight of my trip and will remember this for decades. Doing the math and booking a separate hotel and separate omakase would have been more expensive for two people. If you’re a fan of the Japanese culture and raw fish dishes it’s a 10/10.
−This area isn’t as close to train stations as other hotels. However we were able to take a bus. If you have a lot of luggage plan to utilize other transportation methods. I personally will budget a taxi if I get a chance to stay here again.

“The most incredible and authentic stay”
+This was the most amazing stay in Japan. The room is truly beautiful. An amazing almost home stay, authentic Japanese experience. We loved staying here and loved the owners. The area was quiet and beautiful, and felt more local and less crowded. Run by a really kind couple who went over and beyond even driving us to the Golden Temple on and to Arishiyama at 7am and shown around. The food prepared by the most amazing chef was the best we have ever had. The sushi was incredible. Thank you for everything!
−Nothing - everything was amazing

“Ein Abenteuer in Japan - mit herrlichem Essen”
+Die Gastgeber sind unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das japanische Frühstück der beiden ist eine Wucht und hat uns sehr gefreut. Wir hatten auch einmal ein Abendessen, das außerordentlich gut war. Es stand dem 2 Sterne Koch den wir auch besucht haben in nichts nach!! Unbedingt ausprobieren!!! Das Haus ist über 100 Jahre alt und wir wollten dringend japanisch wohnen. Das durften wir hier :-) vielen Dank!!
−Naja...es ist ein bisschen weit ab vom Geschehen. Mit Uber/Taxi 20 bis 30 Minuten. Dafür aber ruhig und nahe dem Goldenen Tempel. Die Ausstattung ist schlicht aber funktional. Man sitzt natürlich auf dem Boden! ;-)
