    Nope.

    Wonderful location for visiting Matsumoto Toge and Onigajio. If you fancy walking, it takes around 15min to walk to Kumanoshi (by passing through the tunnel. The walk was fun) and Odomari train station. Moreover, the key value is the sweet, wonderful staff in the guesthouse. The father, mother and sun are all very hospitable and considerable. I had a very good time staying there ☺️ The environment is clean and facilities are all well maintained. 2-3min by walk to be at laundromat if you need to. Btw, the cheesecake they offered while checkin is really delicious!

    Amazing host family. If you're looking for a quiet place, it's definitely worth staying. Close to two train stations that let you visit other places of the region.

    The owners are so enthusiastic and helpful, and treated us like family. Even though we were only there a short time , it was a very special stay . The location was great , close to restaurants and the ocean . It was very clean and comfortable and excellent value for money . I would highly recommend this place, we loved it and would have loved to stay longer and get to know the people better .

    A bit tricky to find, Google routed us there the long way, if you're coming by JR train, get off at Kumanoshi station, not the Odomari!

    Spotlessly maintained, beautiful retro/modernist features, lovely, helpful hosts! We were greeted with complimentary cheesecake and cofee, given all sorts of helpful advice on getting into town, where to eat, routes for hiking and offered rides to train station. So kind, and such a dramatice and memorable location.

    For myself everything was fine. One noticeable thing was that the toilet in my room didn't have a washlet. You can hear a bit of sound from the road outside, but it's not very loud, even when the road is wet.

    I'm not easily excited, but this is probably the first time I give a 10 out of 10 (and would give it 11 if I could). The staff is really exceptional (even for Japanese standards), very polite, very kind and very considerate. The building was built in the 70s (it's been a family business ever since) so it got the flair from that time (even the faucets on the washbasin in the bathroom seem to be from that era). Everything is well kept and working without problems. And of course verything is clean. It's located just next to the two tunnels leading towards the city, so it's conveniently accessed by car (be sure to slow down when exiting the tunnel or you'll miss it). By foot it's 20 minutes and only one of the tunnels can be used - I'd recommend a taxi. For foreigners: The staffs English is a bit limited, but it's sufficient for basic communication. If you want an authentic stay with the kind of atmosphere you might have seen in an older movie: This is your place to go.

    The owner's family is so cute and they are helpful with all kinds of question. The room with balcony is perfet to.see sunrise. However the room rate on booking.com is much higher and it is better to book with the guest house directly.

    Nothing! There were some comments by other guests about the noise from the highway. I can only say that I'm a light sleeper, but I slept like a log. The secret is earplugs. Do note that there's nothing fancy about this place, and it's 100% authentic and very Japanese.

    This place is just a stone's throw away from world-class attractions. The hosts were extremely warm, helpful, and sincere. They really just want to make sure that we have a great time. We had such a wonderful time basking in the nature here.

    Nothing!

    The family was so friendly, kind and generous. They picked us up and dropped us off at Kumanoshi station, took us to the supermarket to buy dinner and gave us home made cheesecake and juice when we arrived! We stayed in the family room, which was a separate building above the main building. We had a fantastic view over the bay. The walk around the spectacular coastline (Onigajo) started just across the road.

    The owners are incredibly friendly and greeted me with a home made cheese cake and orange juice. Yummy! I am on a cycle across Japan and we talked a lot about it. We managed despite my broken Japanese and the language barrier. For my departure at 5am they woke up early to see me off and take a few pictures. I was also given a self-made trinket of the guesthouse mascot, which is now attached to my bike to my remaining journey. Thank you so much! It was a pleasure staying with you.

    The place is just above a relatively busy road during the day but it was not much of a problem, especially considered that it is very calm at night.

    - The host family is very welcoming and cheerful. That was heartwarming! - Very nice hiking places and sightseeing sites are accessible easily by car.
