Very cosy home in a lovely village. Host was very hospitable and helpful during our stay. Sabao the cat is such a cute mascot of the house!

Our family had an incredibly happy and mermorable trip to Fukuoka, Hita, and Yufuin, made an even more special by our stay at your Imi Ola House in Yufuin. Our stay exeeded our expectatios - so cozy, comfortable, and perfect for creating beautiful memories. We are deeply grateful to you, Nirei, for your exceptional kindness and thoughtfulness. And we cannot forget Sabao-Kun, the a chic and adorable cat who brought an extra layer of joy to our stay. Though our time together was short, it was truly special and left us with such warm and happy memories. This is place we would love to visit again and wholeheratedly recommned to anyone looking for a wonaderful stay in Yufuin. Wishin you Nirei good health and happiness always, and we hope to return soon to experience thisamazing home- and see Sabao-kun and you - once more.

This place looks like you’re in a fairy tale!! I love everything about this place! It look exactly how it looked like in the photo, but even better when you see it with your eyes! We booked a night here during our visit to Kyushu, my only regret was not staying longer!! This place is so relaxing and peaceful. I highly recommend to everyone who is considering, trust me, you will not regret! Location: no issues for us since we drive. Plus point, there is parking space. I had to admit that the place was a little hard to locate, since goggle map doesn’t show the private housing estate I do recommend using google maps beforehand so you recognise the surrounding before driving over. For those who are using trains, it’s walkable from the station, even though it may not be exactly convenient with suitcase but it’s doable! Privacy: 10/10! The host did not interrupt or disturb during our stay except the time where she came out to speak to us. You pretty much paying for the entire space to yourself! Amenities: private onsen! It was such a great experience using a housing private onsen and the bathroom was really big & spacious. I do recommend bringing your own toothbrush & toothpaste! Breakfast: this was included and I was lucky to had a chance to try Nirei-san’s cooking. The Japanese breakfast was really delicious and the plating was on point!! Gochisosama! Room: you’ll get a full Japanese experience by sleeping on tatami beds! Really comfortable spacious as well. Cleanliness is 10/10! Host: she’s a gem! She’s so accommodating and friendly as well! I feel very comfortable speaking with her. There’s also a resident cat who was friendly and curious during our visit. What I love about this place is that the serenity of the place, very peaceful and you’ll hear the sound of the nature. So peaceful that I took a nap during the day! I did took a short walk at 7am and I love the surrounding of the place. I’m glad I chose this beautiful place to stay!

Not at all!

Loved our stay, everything about it was wonderful. Our host, who is the proud owner, is so charming, friendly and conversational - her English is perfect and her taste is impeccable. She truly makes you feel like a guest in her home, rather than you're crashing in somebody's house. Aesthetically, there are so many artful touches in the house, tiny details that make all the difference; a cool piece of art, or a curious painting that she's collected on travels of her own. The house is just beautifully designed (have I mentioned that already?) - modern with clean lines, but also eclectic and traditional in the same breath. Breakfast was a traditional Japanese breakfast, which was fantastic and fun. There's nothing not to like about this place - truly a highlight of our trip to Kyushu!

Absolutely nothing. We were only there for one night and i wish we stayed a little longer.

It’s my best homestay experience. Nirei, the host is incredibly welcoming and nice. She has the biggest heart and a beautiful soul! I feel like going home! Nirei speaks fluent English and she shares many life experiences with us. The place is very clean and location is great. Easy accessible to the main street. Homemade Japanese breakfast is very delicious. I highly recommend you visit Imi Ola House when you travel to Yufu! I’ll definitely come back again!

Probably our favorite stay in Japan :) Nirei was so nice and also was her house with beaufiful decor and a very cute cat. We enjoyed a lot talking to Nirei and the food she made us :). Thank you! Hope you visit us one day :)

Nothing :)

I liked everything in this house. It shouldn't be called a house. It's way beyond that. I would say everything was more than perfect. The host was very kind, friendly and lovely(we had such a lovely chat about Japan, Korea, life, education, and future, etc). I felt like I was dreaming in this house. A sweet dream. I was treated not just as a guest, but also a super special person. I would definitely visit again if I had a chance to travel to Yufuin with my precious people.

Nothing. Just an exceptional place. One of a kind.

I am very impressed with Nirei who is kind, courtesous and aspiring. We had some nice talk. First time to take a trip with my family to Kyushu, and the accommodation made them enjoy the experience in Yufuin-chō. BTW, the breakfast for two day morning amazed us in different way.

Beautiful house with tasteful decoration. My mom and I enjoyed the abundance of Onsen water. Breakfast was beautiful and delicious. Futon was so comfortable. Thanks!

nothing particular.

the owner is very kind and environment let us feel relax!
