Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
The guesthouse is so charming and the hosts Yuko & Gabriel are so nice and accommodating. Gabriel who is the chef is so attentive in preparing a great breakfast set suitable for Muslims. They also provide free shuttle to and fro Kiryu station which is much appreciated. Definitely will stay here again! :)
Can I say everything?! Yuko and Gabrielle are wonderful hosts and Yuko patiently helped us with our future plans, guiding us from afar long after we had left. The food is delicious, the house is sublime. The most beautiful place we stayed in 2.5 months in Japan, so thoughtfully decorated and very comfortable.
Everything about our stay was really excellent with good food, a great wine cellar and friendly hosts who went out of there way to make you feel comfortable and at ease in what is basically is their own home.
Access to a washing machine was an added bonus as we had just completed soem long walks so we needed to rest and refresh.
This was an amazing place to stay. The host is warm. Very well informed, and generously spent the day showing us around. It could not have been better. I highly recommend staying here- it’s. Beautiful!
An amazing temple to relax and recharge. Even the kids were impressed and enjoyed their visit. The outdoor bath under the 100-year-old tree with Zen garden was wonderful and the area extremely quiet and peaceful. Opening the inner courtyard garden was a great start to the day. And the MOST COMFORTABLE futons we have slept on! Kitchen utensils were fully supplied. (We went out to eat so can't comment on food) Check out the activities on their home page.
Gabo and Yuko were the best host we have encountered in our trip this time. Gabo may look burly but has such gentle mannerism. And he’s an excellent chef - try the ravioli ! Yuko was always ready to offer assistance and advice. They readied new e-bikes and helmets for us free! We cycled everywhere around kiryu which was so much fun. Train station is a short walk from okiya.
This is the best guest house I have ever been! Yuko and Gabriel are great hosts. They are very kind and warmful. The place is very nice: a traditional Japanese house renovated with respect and taste, with modern comfort. Gabriel is also an excellent chef making a delicious cuisine from Spain, Italy and Argentina, together with very good wines from Argentina. Finally, the place is very well located, in a quiet place a few hundred meters from a Mega commercial center, the train station, and various other shops and restaurants.
