We stayed as a family. Surrounded by nature and free of unnecessary distractions, we were able to forget everyday life and truly relax. There is a walking path around Lake Shirakaba, so in the morning we enjoyed a stroll with our child while taking in the lake views. It’s recommended for those who want to take it easy without overpacking their schedule.

It was our first visit, and it turned into an even better weekend than we expected. After making the Reservation, we were happy to receive an email with recommendations for stylish spots nearby. It saved us the trouble of researching on our own and gave us peace of mind. They also share what to bring and other helpful details, so checking your email is a must. We had lunch at a galette restaurant on the way from the station to the Accommodation, then did some shopping and, after check-in, spent the whole time at the Accommodation. Check-in seems to be controlled by an automatic lock system, so you can’t enter until check-in time. (We arrived about 15 minutes early, so we waited in the car for a bit before checking in.) Sauna → taking our time cooking dinner → staying up late with wine. The next morning: sauna right after waking up, brunch, and coffee. We relaxed as if we were at home while enjoying a truly luxurious stay. The sauna was spacious and got properly hot, and the cold plunge was icy—incredible. (It snowed that day, so I think it may have been close to single digits in °C...) In the Room there were high-quality seasonings and natural wines available for an additional fee. We had no trouble cooking meals there, but if you want to make more elaborate dishes using lots of spices or herbs, bringing those along would make it perfect. Lastly, winter driving conditions made us a little nervous. There was snow buildup and black ice on the road in front of the Accommodation, so please be careful as it can be slippery. In winter, studless tires are a must—and having chains would give extra peace of mind. It feels like a place you could enjoy in any season—we’d love to come back in spring, summer, and autumn too!

We stayed here over Golden Week with our daughter’s family. We had originally planned a relaxing trip just as a couple, but right before the trip our daughter’s family said, “We want to come too!”—so we ended up visiting as a large group at the last minute. The owner kindly added extra beds for us, which we truly appreciated. Since our grandchildren were with us, we had a barbecue in the garden at night. The owner even drove us to go shopping. Everything was fully provided, including charcoal and the full barbecue set. While looking out at Amanohashidate, we enjoyed dinner under the bright moon and countless stars you can’t see in Tokyo—it was amazing. The interior was very clean and stylish! For us as a couple considering renovations—and for our daughter and her husband who are thinking about buying a home—the layout, Facility features, decor, and fixtures were all inspiring, so we took lots of photos. As expected from an owner who is an architect—the design impressed us deeply. When traveling with 2- and 5-year-old grandchildren, we usually worry about disturbing other guests, but since we could rent the entire house exclusively, it was very easy and we could truly relax and enjoy ourselves. We would love to stay again. Next time, I think it would be nice for just the two of us to unwind in this stylish home and enjoy an elegant getaway.

It was a midsummer stay, but the temperature was perfect even without air conditioning, and we were very comfortable! The space was spacious and luxurious, with an interior that showed great attention to detail—we were extremely satisfied!

I love the scent of wood when you first enter. The Room felt very clean, the towels were fluffy, and I had a comfortable stay. The weather was great, and the forest view from the large window directly in front of the bed, along with the morning sunlight streaming in, felt wonderful.

The cleanliness was impressive and I was very satisfied. I would have been even more satisfied if there were amenities like coffee and pajamas, but the owner was very kind, so I was extremely pleased. It is quite spacious, so it is recommended for use by large groups.

We had an extraordinary experience immersed in nature! Located halfway up the slopes, the view from the Room is breathtaking. We enjoyed a private sauna and outdoor relaxation in an unparalleled setting.

I stayed at Oito Bettei. Preserving the atmosphere of a historic merchant house, the accommodation has been beautifully renovated with tasteful interiors and well-equipped facilities. Once inside, it was surprisingly spacious and comfortable, offering a relaxing stay that felt like living there. The kitchen was fully equipped with stylish tableware and utensils, including two types of coffee beans, allowing us to enjoy freshly brewed coffee in the morning. Although we didn’t cook dinner as there was a delicious Chinese restaurant nearby, we prepared snacks using local black soybeans (just released that day), persimmons, sweet green peppers, muscat grapes purchased during our stroll through the castle town. Paired with wine we brought along, it made for a leisurely evening in a quiet environment without TV—perfect for unwinding from daily life. The provided tableware was also elegant; simply tossing fruits and cheese we brought with olive oil and salt available at the accommodation created an effortlessly chic dish. The facilities were excellent—the bathtub allowed for stretching out comfortably; toilets and sinks were available on both floors; hairdryers were conveniently placed throughout—making preparations stress-free. If I may suggest one improvement: providing amenities such as cleansing products, face wash, or lotion would be appreciated. There are no convenience stores within walking distance and shops close early in the area. It’s advisable to prepare your shopping beforehand. However, this slight inconvenience added to escaping daily busyness and enjoying simple yet extraordinary moments. The staff were incredibly kind and offered various suggestions for how to spend our second day or places to visit nearby—making it an enriching experience overall. Tamba Sasayama is filled with delicious food alongside its serene townscape and warm-hearted people—a truly wonderful place. This is an accommodation I’d love to stay at repeatedly—a perfect base for exploring Tamba Sasayama! Thank you for such a lovely time—I’ll definitely return!

We had a very comfortable stay. The Room was well maintained and clean, and the ocean view from the balcony was wonderful.

Thank you very much for having us stay at your Accommodation. It was a 3-day, 2-night stay, and thanks to you, I was able to relax and spend quality time with my girlfriend. Thank you for your heartfelt letter. We will visit again, and we appreciate your continued support. Please take good care of yourself.

A perfect stay where you can feel the sea of Miura Moriso up close. All rooms offer ocean views, showcasing stunning morning and evening scenery that provided constant relaxation throughout our stay. While there are many pet-friendly accommodations, this one stands out for its cleanliness, allowing us to enjoy a worry-free time with our beloved dog. The well-equipped kitchen and amenities make it ideal for stays with close friends as well. At around 30,000 yen per person for this quality, the satisfaction level is incredibly high, and it’s a villa we’d love to visit again in another season. There’s also a meeting room with a whiteboard, making it suitable for small corporate retreats or workshops.

The unique, beautiful design was unlike anything else, and it was wonderful to catch the fresh scent of new wood here and there. The bath was spacious and open, so I could relax and take my time. The pool was smaller than I expected, but it seems perfect for a dip after the sauna! Spending a quiet night in such a clean villa made for a very satisfying stay. The only downsides were that the air conditioning on the second floor wasn’t very effective, making it uncomfortable to sleep, and I wished the kitchen had basics like salt and pepper, cooking oil, plastic wrap, and paper towels. Oda Sushi nearby was delicious, and there’s also a supermarket about 5 minutes away by car, which is really convenient. It feels like a villa you can enjoy at any time of year, so I’d love to come back. Thank you very much!

We stayed during Golden Week as a family of four. The Accommodation is new and the facilities are clean, so we had a fun and comfortable stay. One thing we noticed is that perhaps because part of the floor is heated, it would be nice to have indoor slippers. Also, there were many very fine fibers on the bath towels. They were washed cleanly, so it may happen during drying. In addition, the signal around the Accommodation was unstable, so we couldn’t check maps on our phones and it took quite a while to find the place. Since there are no signs, we should have taken screenshots or printed directions in advance. After arriving, we fully enjoyed the Onsen and BBQ, and it turned into a wonderful trip. The Hakone craft beer was delicious as well. Thank you very much.

We stayed here with six friends. In a word, it was the most memorable Accommodation experience we’ve ever had. The sauna and cold plunge on the terrace were truly special—an extraordinary time that made us feel at one with nature. At night, we relaxed while gazing at the stars, and in the morning, having coffee in the mist was pure luxury. It really speaks to you. It was a little chilly, but that only added to the comfort, and what stood out most was how much we could enjoy the crisp, clear air. With a large kitchen and a screen as well, our time together felt even more special. The space is spacious and comfortable, thoughtfully crafted down to every detail—you can really feel the owner’s care and passion throughout. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay! This place is packed with experiences you can only have here, so I highly recommend it for trips with friends or anyone looking to spend truly special time together. We’d love to come back!

We stayed for one night as a family. We had no contact with the staff; the door unlocked after we entered the code sent by email. The place felt very clean, with designer furniture and refined furnishings neatly arranged, making us feel like celebrities. The refrigerator was stocked with complimentary drinks and snacks, along with a Dolce Gusto machine and tea, so even without meeting any staff we could still feel their hospitality. It also seemed possible to use the washing machine, and even single-use detergent was provided. Above all, our child was delighted with the sparkling, stylish Room. From the outside, the rusty window frames gave it a somewhat run-down look, and that contrast made it even more exciting—an amazing experience.

It was my first time staying with Sanu, and I’d love to come back again. As soon as we arrived, the scent of wood greeted us, and the Room was clean and comfortable. We were able to relax with our dog on the raised platform area. Also, because meals weren’t provided, we could visit our favorite bakeries for breakfast, and choose between cooking dinner ourselves or eating out—so it felt like living there while still being able to refresh. It was a shame that the bathroom was small and there wasn’t space to put things in the washroom area, but otherwise we were very satisfied.
