Had a wonderful stay in this guest house. Well upkeep traditional Japanese house ( we are frankly a bit worried to dirty or mess up the place, it is so clean and well kept 😅), wonderful host, sumptuous food.The lady host made great effort to make our stay as comfortable as possible which we are very thankful 🙏🙏🙏Location: it is a bit far from the train station. A 5 mins taxi ride will cost you about 1800 yen. It is almost impossible to flag a taxi at the taxi stand beside the train station. You have to use the GO/ taxi app Japan and order one.There is a bus stop about 100m away but the frequency is low. After 5pm, there is no bus at all.But we are there for trek, so walking is not an issue. Only challenge is the day when u have luggage with you.There are a few super cool dining places just less than 50m away. We don't have a chance to try them but they look so good.

A guesthouse in a good location for sightseeing, within walking distance from Ishibutai Kofun. There is also a bus stop nearby that connects the station, although the frequency is small. The room was an old-fashioned tatami mat, and the food made with local ingredients was delivered to the room. Asuka hotpot for dinner and breakfast were both delicious.
