We stayed at this facility for a university club training camp (originally, it was recommended to approach and book through a different route, not through this app).
Even though it was a last-minute reservation with no days left before the training camp, they handled it with all their heart and energy.On the same day, we received warm words and support for a successful camp, making it a memorable trip.Also, I was very interested to hear the history of the Kiyomizu residence and to be guided around the sights of the area.
The futons and linens were very clean, and the kitchen and toilet were easy to use.The kitchen refrigerator and microwave were free to use, and there was also a full set of dishes.Breakfast and lunch were nutritious and delicious, and I was especially happy to have warm rice and miso soup in the morning.The room with the sunken fireplace also had Jenga and card games, and we had a great time.The bedroom was also adequately heated.
It was a comfortable facility that was easy to use, and I was able to have a warm interaction with the two owners, making it a good camp that will be remembered.We also had a good time touching history and thinking about the beauty and depth of Japanese architecture.Thank you again for everything.

Typical Japanese flat floor with a sense of history, very spacious room, many rooms, suitable for everyone.You can grill, the kitchen is fully equipped, there are many toys for the kids, and there is a large field behind the house with a good view.The host is American and more enthusiastic.The shortage is close to the road, of course, there are not many road cars in the countryside, I don't know if the electricity load is too large, and the power is cut several times, although it was restarted in about ten seconds.
