I was able to use the entire building and felt like I was at home, which made me feel very relaxed.There were tasteful vases placed everywhere, and the space was filled with a pleasant scent.The walls of the bathroom were made of cypress wood, and the towels were fluffy.For dinner, we were served home-cooked food prepared by a local mother, and for breakfast, we were able to cook porridge at a time of our choosing.The act of cooking porridge from the morning allowed us to take a closer look at daily life, which was a rewarding time.There are still some good points, but I think it would be better to be able to experience it locally.

I was able to enjoy my stay in a place rich in nature while feeling its charm. Also, the staff who welcomed me and sent me off were both very kind and pleasant.Just one thing, was it possible to reserve dinner and additional content from the website? I had a hard time figuring it out, so I'd like to try out different experiences next time.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience of the slow life in Japan: If you have the chance to visit the quiet village of Kumagawa-juku, just a one-hour train and 30 minute bus ride away from Kyoto, do. not. miss. it. What a breath of fresh air this charming town and stay were - stunning natural scenery, extraordinary experiences, and some of the most kind and passionate staff we have ever encountered. By day we trained as ninjas and painters, thanks to the recommendation of the Yao Kumagawa team, and at dinner enjoyed fresh and highly curated local specialties delivered to our beautifully cozy machiya. We spent the evening on a tranquil walk under the stars. If you are staying at Yao-Kumagawa, we highly recommend indulging in their cuisine: the information provided about each of the individual dishes prepared with local ingredients and historic recipes made for highly unique and engaging dining experiences we will not soon forget. Next time we will definitely try the cycling-to-the-waterfall, kayaking, and hiking experiences! Super grateful for our stay, many thanks to the Yao Kumagawa team!

It was a comfortable and relaxing stay.I was soothed by the plants and lamps decorated in the room, and I was able to relax in the lovely garden!I was also happy that there were many spots nearby where I could enjoy my trip, such as a cafe and soba restaurant near the inn, and Rainbow Line, which was 30 minutes away by car.The breakfast porridge was also delicious.I wanted to come again!
