Tajimi Guest House

The interior decor is tastefully designed to every detail, surrounding nature is startlingly beautiful, and the host is warm and friendly.

A bit cold, and no bath in the room.

We were surprised to be offered breakfast as the property was described as not providing breakfast. The cost of 800 yen per person was very reasonable and the continental breakfast provided was delicious.

The property is advertised as having a shower but when we arrived we were advised that this was not the case and we would have to go down the road to the local onsen. This should have been pointed out in the description of the property. We are not comfortable using this type of bathing facility

So kind and helpful couple who runs this unique architectural place - higly recommended for cultural travellers!

Very friendly and nice place

Breakfast was great, host was able to accommodate dietary needs. The hosts were super friendly and helpful and had lots of recommendations for us. The room was even nicer than the pictures. Going to the bathhouse was a really nice experience as well. I would love to stay here for a longer amount of time again!

The room was spacious, with a large table, a pair of single beds, refrigerator, sink, and toilet room. The room is adorned with many hundreds of art books and magazines reflecting the owner's tastes. The sliding glass door to the back yard offers a pretty and peaceful view of nature. Free parking with plenty of space is just across the street. The neighborhood is very quiet.

The bait and switch: the room is advertised on booking.com as having a shower. It does not. When we arrived the owner met me and asked whether I liked onsen; and then went on to tell me that the room did not have a shower, and she was giving me two tickets (one for me, one for my wife, though we were staying two nights) to a local bathhouse that's about a 15 minute drive from the property. My (Japanese) wife later called the owner and spoke to the husband (rather that the wife who'd met me), and insisted on the shower. He went to an outdoor room in the back yard and set up what I'd describe as similar to a camp shower; he put a soft-sided basin on the floor next to a sink to which a shower hose had been attached. He set up a curtain around three sides of the tub. And that was the shower. It worked about as well as you might imagine a camp shower working. The second night we went to the local bathhouse, which was not close and which we didn't much appreciate either, though it was superior to the camp shower. The house itself is at the end of a cul-de-sac, and is in a very quiet setting. However the neighborhood is what I'd describe as light industrial, with no restaurants, convenience stores, or even many vending machines within 600 meters or so. You will have to be driving yourself if you consider staying here.

A lot of care and attention to detail went into this guest house and the hospitality

Could have been convenient to have a shower on site but the trip to the onsen every night was a treat too!

I liked how the family staff was friendly and not too pushy and let you have it your way. They helped by guiding through the town and given assistance by offering a taxi lift service or electric bike.

Lots of hilly roads that go up and down. Difficult to move around the area without any form of transportation. The guest house was good, but hope they can adjust where the light fixtures are placed.

Yumiko san was the best host one could ever have being in a new city. She was warm and very welcoming and helped me greatly during my stay. We had extremely interesting and warm-hearted conversations despite my lack of Japanese and her lack of English. I couldn’t ask for more. :)

Nothing I didn’t like!

Very beautiful garden and welcoming host, delicious breakfast!

No private shower
