“Satomi-san and her husband are incredibly kind, caring hosts! We felt so welcomed every day, and happily received many suggestions on what to do in the area -- we stayed a week, and there were many places to explore: onsens, pottery, tea, shrines, villages, strawberries, sake, seaside... Satomi-san suggested to us maps/itineraries of her favorite places, and even made reservations (the hosts speak excellent English in addition to native Japanese). Location is perfect, interactions rewarding, apartment very comfortable & Japanese, we woud love to be back! Kyushu is like its own country, and Saga prefectures with Takeo hub has everything -- without the tourist crowds, love it!”
“We stayed with friends & family, and booked both apartments on the third floor -- it was a perfect arrangement. Satomi-san and her husband are two of the best hosts we've met in our many months of travel across Japan over the years. They helped us coordinate the multiple parties' stays, gave excellent activity recommendations, looked to our needs in every way and even kindly helped us with our schedule/reservations for a future trip to Japan. What an amazing experience of omotenashi, genuine Japanese hospitality! We'll love to be back, and highly recommend staying here to all our friends and family.”
“Initially, I was pleased when the owner kindly allowed us to check in early on a rainy day.
The futon beds were comfortable. It seems difficult for me to find any other positive points.”
“An authentic Japanese house, more of a museum with mod cons amidst the pottery, furnishings of the past. There was masses of room and we loved it! It felt a privilege to be there. Highly recommended!”
“It was immaculately clean! A fantastic traditional Japanese home experience. Lots of lovely extras.. snacks/ tea/ coffee, etc, free continental breakfast. Would be great for a family of 4. A pleasure to self cater at because everything you could possibly need provided.”
