Santari

The house is clean and comfort. The owner is very nice and helpful.

Super clean property, very kind and hospitable host, breakfast carefully prepared above and beyond the ordinary, great value. If you do not stay here while traveling this area you are missing something great!

The host kindness and hospitality

The highlight for sure was the host Kazu, he was so welcoming, friendly and kind. He made us feel at home straight away which we really appreciate. The room was really comfy with plenty of space and the lounge was cosy with a fireplace. Each day breakfast was exceptional. Kazu had tips on what to do in the local area. Everything was super neat and tidy which made for a great stay. The location was a great place to base ourselves for snowboarding, sahoro about a 20 minute drive and tomamu close to an hour. There is a supermarket across the road and shintoku is a 10 minute drive with more restaurant options. I'd highly recommend staying here and hope to do so again. Thanks Kazu

Nothing

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay with an extremely gracious host. The guest house is modern with a cozy feel due to the wood burning stove in the common space. The breakfast was outstanding and unique. The location is in a tiny town which we used as a base to ski Sahoro (20 minutes) and Tomamu (50 minutes). Especially nice was the fact the host made reservations for us at a few of his recommended restaurants, and drove us so we could enjoy alcohol. We would definitely return.

Beds were quite firm but that is common in Japan. I wish there was a coat rack at the entry for ski jackets so we had more space in our room. A storage cubicle in the room would be nice to store clothes (we had to leave everything in suitcases on the floor).

The host was very friendly and made very useful recommendations on places to visit and food to try. He also provided a flight of Japanese whiskies to try. There was also a quaint wood burning fireplace that kept us toasty during our stay in Dec. This is a very comfortable and homey place to stay.

Apart from a small supermarket and a restaurant within a stones throw, you will need a car to reach other places of interest.
