    Beautiful house, well decorated. Almost like a museum. The toilet is also well stocked with amenities. You really get the feeling that this is someone’s home, and everything is very personal. You can see how much love the owner has for this...

    The homemade breakfast is excellent value for money and something you do not miss. The host was amiable and provided a great place to view the cherry blossoms, the best ones I saw on my trip.

    Both of the host were very accommodating and helpful in getting many tips about Otaru and the location is close by all of the main streets attractions. Definitely have the home cook breakfast from Mayomi ! It was an absolute delight ❤️
