Seto is truly a beautiful village. Very soothing. It is also a place known for ceramics, so you can find nice shops to buy unique works. Walking through the neighborhood was very relaxing because you can walk through the neighborhoods but also go to a temple further afield. We were lucky that no one was there so there was a powerful and peaceful atmosphere where I enjoyed silent meditation in the meantime. A little further on you can follow a walking path through nature. I can also say that I had a delicious meal in Seto. I can recommend "Little flower coffee" for brunch/lunch, "Kyogokuen" for dinner, and "Cats Cafe Nyanyanya" for a fun experience in a cat cafe where you can give and receive love from these angels and enjoy an iced tea.When I arrived at this Airbnb I was really surprised. Of course, I already knew to some extent what it would look like when I made the booking, but I was even more pleasantly surprised when I arrived. A very beautiful traditional Japanese house with a nice hip rustic style on the second floor. It smelled like fresh wood so it was very relaxing. In this airbnb there is also a bar where you can enjoy a small snack, sake, coffee, etc. The staff also helped us well, even though there was a language barrier, it did not stop us from understanding each other and getting help. get it when it was needed.It was very neat and you got everything you needed. From neat showers with shampoo, conditioner, soap and skin oil that all smelled wonderful and felt really good. But also a toothbrush that was waiting in the room with towels, a lovely room spray and a coffee and tea bag. On the second floor there are also sinks where you can brush your teeth but also heat water and choose between roasted green tea or green tea. There is also a reading area with comfortable bean bags. The beds were also heavenly!There is also a nice garden linked to it with hammocks. When I lay down in it, I fell asleep a few minutes later.I have no negative points. I had previously hoped that I could stay there longer. So I hope to come back there in the future.

Guesthouse "Masukichi" in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture is a super cozy guesthouse with a bar counter and a large garden! Close to Ghibli Park, super convenient for visiting shopping streets, pottery studios, cafes, etc. around Seto City!This guest house tourOur motto is “Travel like you live there”!About 30 minutes from Nagoya on the Meitetsu Seto Line! I stayed at the unpretentious Guest House Masukichi in my home town of Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, and it felt very homely and I highly recommend it.

If you plan to visit Ghibli Park, I recommend enjoying a few days in the city of Seto, which is 35 minutes away using public transportation. We had a great time and would have liked to stay longer.
