A family of four used it as a base for sightseeing from around Minamiaso to Takachiho Gorge.It takes about 45 minutes by car to Takachiho Gorge.We headed to Takachiho Gorge while enjoying a drive through the mountains.It is assumed that you will be traveling by car, but there are local supermarkets, convenience stores, hot springs, and restaurants around the inn, making it convenient, and it is also very quiet and has a nice atmosphere.The room I took care of was spacious with two Japanese-style rooms, and I was able to enjoy drinking in the room 😀The owner has renovated it himself and the interior is clean and stylish.The facilities are state-of-the-art, including air conditioning and motion sensor lights, and the toilet also has a washlet.The bath does not have a bathtub but a shower room, but considering that you will be using the hot springs, it is enough!!For breakfast, I had bread made with red beef, and it was delicious!Even if you toast it in the toaster and eat it as is, it has a dark beef flavor and is delicious, but the jam that comes with it is even better♪There was also a coffee maker, and the combination of delicious coffee and bread was the best.The owner, Stefano, has a very nice personality and I would definitely use him again 😊

This is a very authentic Japanese countryside. The whole environment is relaxing and comfortable. The accommodation space is large. Our whole family can sleep on the Japanese tatami together. It feels very fresh and is an unforgettable memory.

The equipment is very smart and high-quality. It can be seen that the boss is very attentive to every detail. There are thermosensor heaters in the bathroom and toilet, and there are wireless light switches. I really recommend staying overnight and experiencing the local atmosphere. style

Loved this place! Stefano was very proactive and extremely nice with us, he gave us really good dining recommendations and also gave us homemade bread which we all loved, especially my 2 year old daughter! She was obsessed. The rooms we had came with a microwave, fridge, Smart TV, Dining table, Toilet room, and bathroom. Water heater was perfect for this cold weather. The A/C and heater work perfectly. Additionally, the common area and the rooms are beautiful.P.S. My daughter misses the bread and the apple spread.

A home stay accommodation is not really called a guest house because the owner builds it and divides it into rooms for guests to rent out. The owner lives in a room upstairs. The ground floor and upstairs have approximately two large rooms, which can be divided into four smaller rooms. As far as the eye can seeAnd then take shifts because we stay in one big room. And then there was another room that couldn't be opened. It should be a large room of the same size. The owner is very skilled at decorating the house himself from wood. And make it into shelves, room dividers, and other things that look simple but very chic. Because the room has limited space. Therefore there is only a refrigerator in the room. The central area must use a microwave. coffee maker Shared hot water kettle But there is a hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, and liquid soap. It was quite dark when we arrived, so we were only able to get pictures of the room, not the outside and the surrounding area because it was very dark. It's a rural, quiet, completely dark place. It's often a good idea to come and relax quietly.

Saboji is of the best accomodations I've stayed so far in Japan. The owner is very friendly and helpful. The place itself is clean, well-maintained, well-equipped with coffee machine/toaster and has the amazing view of the mountain! I love the tatami room and I had the most comfortable sleep ever. Bonus point for the fresh and delicious bread that the owner makes and gives to us everyday. Highly recommend Saboji for those who want to chill in a countryside with the picturesque view and yet still experience 5-star hospitality.

It was my first time here, but it was a private vacation rental facility run by an Italian owner and was very nice.

Great view and host and a good amount of space with a tatami mat floor to boot. If you're looking for a contemporary Japanese stay experience, here's the place. Good bathrooms too, no bathtub but shower blew my panties away. Great stuff.
Would've given it a 5 stars if there was kitchen sink, but it's cool.

It was my first time to stay in a guest house, but I'm glad I was able to stay here. We stayed with a large family of 8 Japanese people (including children), and the owner was very nice and kind. The taste of the rooms, which incorporate foreign design and ease of use into a Japanese private house, is also wonderful. We had a great time on our first family trip in a while. thank you very much. I would definitely like to use it again when I come to Aso.
