This spacious maisonette-style accommodation is comfortable even for four adults. Mornings are especially memorable—enjoying coffee on the terrace while listening to the sound of the waves. The beach is within walking distance, and taking the picnic set provided in the cabin made our time by the sea even better. It was a relaxing stay that let us forget the hustle and bustle of city life.

I traveled to Nagasaki for a Golden Week getaway. Away from everyday life, I was able to fully enjoy a quiet, restorative retreat. The hospitality was truly exceptional—there was nothing to fault. The food was also outstanding. I thoroughly enjoyed the ingredients from Hirado, and every dish was delicious. It was my first time trying a morning sauna, and I could relax while watching the ever-changing sea view. At checkout, they even prepared drinks for our car ride home. It was my first time experiencing that kind of thoughtfulness, and I was genuinely moved. This Accommodation exceeded my expectations in every way, and I’d love to stay again.

Ever since I discovered Shukabura on an accommodation booking site a few years ago, I had been dreaming of staying here someday. The owner couple are friendly and down-to-earth. With just the right sense of distance, they respected my privacy while offering thoughtful care that anticipated every need. Not only the beautiful hill scenery, but also their warmth is a major reason this place makes you want to “come back home” again. Every piece of villa decor was so lovely I wanted to photograph it, and finding the charming little items placed throughout felt like a treasure hunt. The compact interior had everything I needed, and as someone whose hair tends to explode in the morning, I was genuinely impressed that there were even two types of hair irons provided. The cosmetics and bath/hair care amenities also smelled wonderful—I ended up lingering in the bath longer than planned. The local ingredients prepared for breakfast were all surprisingly delicious, especially the vegetables. I couldn’t stop tasting them just to check doneness—and even bought extra vegetables at a local farmers’ market. As someone who enjoys cooking (not necessarily claiming I’m good at it), I loved making my own meals while admiring the stunning view from the living room, making time spent in the Room truly special. This trip was a solo journey for self-care made possible by warm support from those around me. During my stay there were many rainy or cloudy days and strong winds, so it might not be considered “good weather” in general. Even so, there were sights I could only experience because of these conditions: a rainbow after the rain; layered clouds drifting by; a sky changing moment by moment; wheat rippling in the wind; and white buckwheat flowers swaying gently. This stay reminded me once again that Biei’s charm isn’t limited to sunny days. This was my seventh visit to Biei. The colors of the hills, shades of the sky, shapes of clouds, and growing trees all look different each time—no matter how many times I come back over time, there is always something new that moves me. Next time, I’d love to visit Biei in midwinter—still unknown to me—and watch snowy scenery from Shukabura. Thank you very much for such a truly fulfilling stay for both body and mind.

We stayed here with six friends during the Obon holidays. The interior was spacious and very clean—easily the best entire-home Accommodation we’ve stayed in so far. In the evening, we bought seafood at a nearby supermarket and had a barbecue in the garden. Everything was fully equipped, and we were able to enjoy our meal comfortably without any hassle. After that, we used the sauna and outdoor cold-water bath in the garden and had an amazing night. The only downside was that when we got hungry late at night, most restaurants were already closed early, and there isn’t a convenience store nearby. The amenities were as well stocked as a Hotel, so we had no trouble during our stay. We’d definitely like to stay again next time!!

All Rooms were kept very clean, and it was a pleasure to stay here! The pool was spacious enough, and with a jacuzzi and sauna, it was perfect not only for having fun but also for relaxing. The kitchen utensils were well stocked, which was very helpful! I’d love to stay again if I have the chance.

We stayed here because my child wants to pursue a career in planning for the future, and this place is amazing. There’s a terrace that seems made just for gazing at the night sky; at night we watched the stars, the moon, and drifting clouds together for hours.

The location is surrounded by nothing, but that also means it’s wonderfully quiet, and you can spend a blissful time surrounded by antique furniture. It’s a very distinctive Hotel with an outstanding atmosphere. Since the rooms are fully visible from the Lake Garden promenade, you may hesitate to approach the windows carelessly in light clothing after 9:00 a.m. Dinner is served at an affiliated restaurant in Kyu-Karuizawa, which also features a wonderful classical interior and truly delicious food.

The view of the calm Seto Inland Sea was breathtaking. Having a golf course right in front added excitement as I imagined playing the next day. Above all, I deeply appreciate the staff's kindness in bringing my husband's forgotten valuables to the station. We are truly grateful for your help and apologize for any inconvenience caused. We will definitely visit again!

We chose this vacation house in the Maoi area of Naganuma Town to get away from the city noise, relax in nature, and recharge. It had already been featured by various people on YouTube, so it fully lived up to our expectations. All we could hear were birdsong, insects, and the wind. Just watching the sky change—from sunset to twilight, a sky full of stars, and then dawn—made all our worries fade away. We stayed at Maoiq konfort, designed around a Scandinavian interior concept. The Louis Poulsen pendant lights in the double-height space were beautiful as they reflected again and again in the glass against the sunset sky. For me, unlike a Hotel stay, there’s simply no alternative to a vacation house where you can spend time privately and peacefully without anyone disturbing you—so I don’t mind a small difference in cost. Thank you for such a wonderful stay. Below are a few points that I felt would make it even better, from my perspective working in architecture and interiors: I would have liked an interior roller blind since the entrance door is glass. Similarly, vertical blinds on the living-room windows facing the double-height space would be helpful. It would be best if there were dimmer circuits for the lighting switches. I’d prefer outlets by the bed to be on the center side; there was nowhere convenient to place my phone while charging. The bedside light is positioned too high and falls into your line of sight when lying down. If Scandinavian design is truly the concept, I’d like to see floor or table lamps added. I wanted lower-level lighting overall. (Downlights on the double-height ceiling don’t feel necessary.) To enjoy stargazing at night, I wanted an on/off switch for the lighting that illuminates the white birch trunks across from the terrace. A luggage rack would be appreciated—I didn’t want to bring dirty suitcase wheels indoors.

The Facility was impeccably clean, and a wonderful fragrance filled the entire Room. The location was excellent, and during the evening BBQ, we were moved by the sunset sinking behind the sea with Mt. Fuji in the background—it truly helped us unwind from everyday fatigue. Despite being along the coast, the private feel of the location is outstanding. We would love to visit again in summer.

I stayed in Building B, Jihākayā. I love it so much that I’d like to stay long-term. When I finally got to stay at Sachibaru a year and a half ago, it was also in Building B, and I liked it so much that I kept thinking, “I want to go again,” but the timing never worked out and a year and a half passed. Last time, Hamabe no Chaya was being renovated, but this time I was able to have breakfast there! You could spend the whole day there. Of course, Yama no Chaya is wonderful too. I’ll do my best to find another chance to stay again.

Unfortunately, the weather during our stay was rainy, but we were able to relax so comfortably in the Room that we hardly noticed. The living area with an irori hearth was filled with natural light from the large windows, creating an open and inviting space. We enjoyed meals and watched movies on Amazon Prime, spending peaceful time together at our own pace. The Takigawa beef dishes were also delicious and very satisfying. Although it rained, we could still stroll around the grounds and enjoy matcha at the teahouse as well as a tea ceremony experience, which our older family members especially appreciated. The upstairs bedroom also had large windows with a great view, allowing us to spend a quiet and luxurious time. The bath was designed so the window could be opened fully, and it was memorable to soak comfortably while listening to the sound of rain. On our way home, we stopped by a nearby sightseeing spot, Shiraito Falls, which offered a spectacular view as well. This time we unfortunately couldn’t see Mt. Fuji, but next time we would love to visit on a clear day and enjoy a stay while taking in the view of Mt. Fuji.

My family visiting from overseas stayed here. As soon as they arrived at Tenku, they were impressed by the beautiful views, and they were also happy that the outdoor bath has a water heater, making it easy to use. Although the building isn’t very large, they were impressed by how comfortable and well designed it is. However, the bathroom felt quite small. They were surprised by the small bathroom, but throughout their stay they kept saying, “We want to come again.”

Regardless of whether you’re vegan or not, everything served was incredibly delicious, and I felt soothed from the very first bite. It’s the kind of flavor that makes you understand what “deeply nourishing” really means. The natural lavender herbal bath in the Room was wonderfully calming—just as comforting as an Onsen. The peaceful atmosphere was lovely; I wished I could have stayed longer. Thanks to the owners’ warm personalities, their natural, unpretentious hospitality felt like the very best kind of service.

I’ve stayed at several Accommodations that welcome dogs, but this was the first place where I never once felt restricted “because we have a dog.” Surrounded by nature, it’s a truly soothing space for both people and dogs. I was amazed by the huge 1,200-tsubo lawn garden and even a pool where people can swim too. I was genuinely happy to be able to relax and let my dog roam freely. And I was surprised to be able to enjoy an Onsen in Chiba. What’s more, our Room had a luxurious open-air bath carved from a massive stone! Being able to enjoy the Onsen at any time without worrying about others was the best. Another great point for us was having a two-bedroom layout—an absolute must for our family. I never imagined traveling with our dog could be this comfortable, free, and luxurious… It truly was an amazing time. A wonderful Accommodation where both dogs and people can forget everyday life and fully unwind—we’d love to visit again.

The location from the Room, the spaciousness of the bath, and the staff's hospitality were all excellent and very satisfying. I would love to use your services again in the coming years. Thank you very much.

I often saw photos of this Accommodation on Instagram, so I assumed it was all about being “Instagrammable”—I couldn’t have been more wrong. A pure white, otherworldly space where you can truly escape the everyday. And the view from there goes without saying—absolutely breathtaking. That much comes through even in photos. From here, I’d like to share what I noticed about its true quality. Everything is meticulously cared for. It’s not just “white”—it’s a warm white that gently envelops you, and that really moved me. Not only the amenities, but also the bath salts and even the hangers—there’s attention to detail everywhere. You can feel their philosophy of making no compromises and offering only carefully selected items. Because of that, even things I would normally overlook made me genuinely happy. And inside the fridge were complimentary items… again, full of thoughtful choices and impeccable taste. There were many other delightful services as well. Personally, I was especially happy to find delicious natural wine—it’s been a long time since an Accommodation impressed me this much. This is an Accommodation I highly recommend not just for “Instagrammable” moments, but for anyone seeking truly high-quality time.

The Room was very spacious and comfortable—almost too big for our family of four plus our dog. Soaking in the Onsen while looking out at the ocean, our dog and kids had a great time running around in the large grassy garden. At night we enjoyed fireworks and watched a movie together in the living room, spending a relaxing and peaceful time away from the Golden Week crowds. The dog amenities were also fully provided, which we truly appreciated. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

The owner was incredibly kind, kept in touch frequently, and was very friendly and approachable! The villa itself was wonderful, and the view was amazing! We were able to relax and enjoy the island at a leisurely pace! We’d love to stay here again the next time we visit Ishigaki Island!

We stayed at the accommodation to celebrate our grandson's 2nd birthday. The spacious layout was more than enough for five people, and we were thrilled with the large outdoor area. The barbecue facilities, bath, sauna, and open-air bath were all spotless and perfect. The couple who welcomed us were incredibly kind, making our stay very pleasant. At night, we even enjoyed a snowy (sleet) view as a delightful surprise—likely the first snow experience for our grandson. Thank you so much for everything!
