Due to the location, there are more insects than in the city center, but countermeasures such as insecticides and insect repellents are taken.Some of the equipment is old, but I don't think it will be a problem especially if you are used to Japanese houses from the Showa era.The palm fruit speakers in the room are handmade and can be connected via Bluetooth, and there is a coffee maker so you can enjoy freshly brewed coffee.Because there are no lights in the surrounding area, the starry sky looks just like a planetarium even in summer, so astronomy buffs will love the location in the middle of winter.You can walk to the beach, but the slope is steep, and the parking area is also steep, so depending on the type of car you have, it may not be suitable.

Very nice place, a bit old but with character. The green and view is just amazing!!I was disappointed with the booking since we booked the entire place (on Airbnb) - 2 separate bedrooms, the owner said that the next day some more guests will come and we only got one bedroom. Which was really not nice. He said that if we booked the entire place it would cost twice as much - which is ridiculous and wasn’t even an option on Airbnb.So check exactly what you book!!

We reserved two rooms for a total of nine adults and children, including infants.I was a little worried because the reviews were so polarizing, but I really liked the inn.The kitschy, handmade interior gives you a warm feeling as you can feel the owner's taste and commitment. It's true that the building itself is old, but it has been thoroughly cleaned and washed, has good ventilation, and didn't feel unsanitary.There are a lot of mosquitoes outside, but there are many anti-mosquito products available, and if you use them, you won't have to worry about them anymore. I was able to have a BBQ in the garden without any problems.There aren't many lodgings (and cheap) where you can enjoy a large garden with a beautiful view of the sea and sky, or where everyone can enjoy cooking, eating, and having fun, so this is a place that I hope will continue to exist for a long time to come! I want to stay here again.I have an Instagram account for the inn, but it's difficult to get information about the facility, so I thought it would be easier for customers to consider it if I summarized it in highlights or had a website.⬛︎Equipment・Towels, hair dryer, shampoo, etc. are provided, but there are no amenities such as toothbrushes.・Washing machine, detergent, drying area, vacuum cleaner available・BBQ set available, charcoal set 1,000 yen・There is a kitchen, refrigerator, and some seasonings.・Air conditioner and circulator available⬛︎Nearby・As it is on a steep slope, people with children may need to put in some effort.・There is a bar at the bottom of the hill・Nearest convenience store is 13 minutes walk

I loved this house, it has a hippie vibe, everything is very simple but cozy!! The owner of the house is very friendly!! You just get there with your bags and food and what you need is there! Dishes, rice cooker, towels, everything is available! In the garden there is a nice space to barbecue or light a fire. If it's raining, he provides a tent for outside too!

the worstIt was noisy from the owner's conversation.The place is completely different from the photo I put here.Especially the toilet is the dirtiest.The water in the shower doesn't flow, but it accumulates, which is not what I expected.Please also take a look at the photo of the gas conroe I'm putting in now.I've included two photos.I keep things that I can't use so I can use them and get the money later.terrible#badplace #uncleaned #pathetic

It's not a good, comfortable place for rest and stay. The toilet smells so bad and the equipment is so old. There are a lot of mosquitoes coming inside, so you can't sleep well.Not a good or comfortable place to rest or stay. The toilets are smelly and the equipment is old. I can't sleep well because there are a lot of mosquitoes.
