Villas in Hagi

Self contained house opposite the river which was a plus. Good laundry area too. Old style house. Traditional sleeping too on futons. It is a 25 minute walk into the Old Castle Town area which was very interesting. Local ramen shop near to Old Castle Town was welcomed.

Plenty of space in the house - so easy to chill out after being in small hotel rooms Parking at the front TV with plenty of VOD options Brand new, had been operational only 6 weeks prior to our visit

The interior design of this renovated fish warehouse is wonderful. The Hagi pottery and glassware for you to use is beautiful. The shower has a powerful shower head and the endless hot water allows for hot water massage therapy after a long day walking and trying to get warmed up before bed. We appreciated the grey knit tabi socks to wear to bed. The lighting spotlighted the ceiling rafters and other interior features. You could hear the rain on the roof and the falcons keening to each other in the early morning.

We loved the house, the location, and the town! As photos show, this is a very traditional, lovely Japanese house, fully renovated with understated elegance, with 2 large tatami rooms, and western comfort in the master bedroom (two very comfy beds, armchairs and table) and bathroom (with ensuite shower); it has a charming front garden, and an orchard of the famous Hagi natsumikan at the back. The location is ideal, in what probably was temple grounds, 3 mn walk to a local supermarket, 5 mn from the spectacular beach, 10 mn from the merchants' quarter, 30 mn to samurai quarter. There is easy parking space for 1 (or 2 small cars). You'll see the iconic old wall with tiles every time you leave the house. Communication with the owner was fine, though he or she wrote in Japanese (easily translates with Google trad). The young lady who welcomed us spoke good English and could point out surrounding restaurants ; the house mainly caters for Japanese speaking guests, but they also have prepared recommandations in English. Hagi is a fabulous destination ; there is so much to see in and around the city, worth staying 2 or 3 days! We'd love to be back.
