It was a wonderful stay, a nice experience in a Japanese house. Mama and Papa are so kind and generous, very welcoming, and the place is so cosy and charming. I'd happily come back and stay here! ๐๐ค
Un lieu splendide pour rencontrer dโautres voyageurs et se reposer. Ce qui rend ce lieu encore plus mรฉmorable est Papa & Mama qui sont toujours lร pour vous avec beaucoup dโattention. Nous y avons passรฉ six jours, la chambre traditionnelle รฉtait parfaite. Un lieu qui restera gravรฉ โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ dans notre cลur lors de notre sรฉjour de un mois au Japon
No sรณlo es la experiencia que supone dormir en un futรณn, sino la amabilidad y la servicialidad que brindan. Tuvimos un problema mรฉdico y gracias a ellos lo solucionamos enseguida. Nos llevaron en coche hasta la estaciรณn el. รบltimo dรญa... increรญble de verdad. Nos hicieron fotos de recuerdo que luego nos mandaron al correo. No os arrepentirรฉis.
