YUMEJI Vintage Villa

Position. Very near onsen and bus stop. The anciet style of the structure.

Breakfast outside the house from 9a.m. but it was really good.

the spirit od old Japan, the real experience

as a tall person, i’ve hit my heas couple of time, but this is not the Villa’s fault :)

very traditional Japanese home with air cond, heater, washing machine and dryer. Get the whole house to yourself with a upstairs sleeping area.

None

it was so beautiful and clean , all the furniture and plates were vintage and the all wood and bamboo structure had the most calm atmosphere .

The house is like museum. They introduced and explained everything about the house when we check-in. It is a perfect place if you want to stay in a real Japanese house.

We had a super nice stay! The house was clean and the bus stop makes the location convenient, specially because you can live as a local. The beds are confortable and the shower is very good. The breakfast was delicious and the host delivered it at our door on the day Café Frosch was closed. We would stay again!

Ken the host was supper lovely and went out of his way to give us lots of amazing recommendations. I will definitely be staying here again!

Sink area had a slight unpleasant smell but bearable.

Gorgeous old house that's very well preserved and full of artistic details, like decorations with kimono fabric produced in the area. It's very vintage, so treat this house gently, like it was your grandmother. The neighborhood is very quiet and residential and safe and non-touristy despite being very close to Kitano, Hirano, and Kinkakuji. The host is extremely nice and because I can speak Japanese, he spent like 20 minutes showing off every detail of the house and telling me about its history (it's over 100 years old!). He even sent us some recommendations for local vintage stores I might like because I told him I like kimono and vintage Japanese art. He is very happy to see foreigners appreciating old Japanese culture and eager to share about it. Despite the house being vintage, it's retrofit with a modern bathroom and one of the nicest showers I've found in these old homes. The bedding and towels were also very thoughtful and comfortable. If you want a very authentic stay that feels like a step back in time, this is absolutely the place to pick. Bless this host for preserving this history and making it possible for people to experience it.

Do not stay here if you have children, full stop. This house is a historical artifact and is very delicate and should be handled with care. Your brat will break something within an hour, regardless of how well behaved you think they are. If you're not willing to treat the house carefully and be patient with its age, don't risk destroying a piece of history and stay elsewhere.
