Farmstay vacation rentals in Honshu

This place was great and the owner was really accommodating. I only regret that we couldn't have stayed a bit longer and gotten to know everyone better, as we were only there for a night and we were out most of the day. Next time we're in Fukushima I'd love to stay here again.

This place was absolutely amazing. Super spacious, comfortable, and just a short walk from the train station. The views were phenomenal, and taking the bike around the community was a highlight. Just be ready for a few hills (you’ll feel in shape after!). The beach is right in front of the property, and the night views are unreal. There are some awesome local food spots and cozy cafes nearby. The host and her family were incredibly kind and welcoming, and their home is beautiful. I’m already looking forward to planning another trip here. I’d absolutely recommend staying if you get the chance.

Scott and Noriko were extremely friendly and welcoming hosts. We loved spending time with the cats and enjoying such a peaceful and serene accomodation to end off our first trip to Japan! Would recommend to all

10 out of 5 stars...wow! Out of bounds customer service!!! The property was amazing, peaceful, and sureal. The hosts were so accommodating and made us feel right at home. We highly recommend Ren-Est to anyone who wants a nice, relaxing stay in the mountains of central Japan. We will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The house is adorable and gives you a good feel of Japanese home life. It has everything you could need. It is very walkable to konbini and restaurants. The hikes and nature nearby are lovely. My son and I enjoyed the garden (fun for some no-too-tricky hide and seek!). Would definitely stay here again!

I stayed here to focus on some work on my laptop, and it was perfect — super quiet and private, with almost no one around. There weren’t any supermarkets or convenience stores nearby, which was a bit inconvenient, but it wouldn’t have been a problem if I had a car. Since it’s pretty deep in the mountains, next time I’d like to come with a car or a bike! The Wi-Fi was great too — I got 76Mbps download speed on the Fast speed test, so everything ran really smoothly. I’d definitely come back! 🫶❤️✨

Communication went smoothly, so I was able to quickly resolve any questions. Thank you!

This time, I wanted to enter Hottarakashi Onsen with my family, so I stayed! The children were looking forward to seeing Min Min, and it was nice to see them smile when they saw the children they had adored. We had so much fun!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Very comfortable and quite a large house. It was also nice that there was a yard that we could hang out in. We also love that it was only a 10 minute walk to the entrance of the snow monkey park, which made it really easy to go see them. Lots of great little restaurants within walking distance as well. Great communication from Daniel And. We will definitely recommend this day to someone trying to enjoy a smaller area outside of Nagano and next to nature.

Fully equipped, fully equipped, and full of BBQs, pizza, table tennis, and karaoke! It was very fun in a cozy space with music without worrying about the surroundings!

Just very 癒された. This is a place that made me glad for hustle and bustle, because how else otherwise could I know to better appreciate the calm I found here? Open-air woodfire onsen. Ikebana and art with explanatory labels in every room. Well-organised library of great reads. A washer-dryer that really does minimise creases (Sharp pls bring this model into SG pronto). An entire fridge section dedicated to chilled glasses?? Come on. Ryunohara provided every modern comfort with more thought and love than my ex-husband could muster. Please do yourself a favour and order meals because Dana is an incredible cook. In chillier weather they'd have a small heater warming your back as you eat; it's good for humanity that such genius was not put to evil. Neither 1000 characters nor my 2-night stay are enough. Although building cairns and generally zoning out at the nearby riverside was plenty enough for me, I will be back - either for a retreat, or with a car so I can explore the wider area.

staying here was a major highlight of our trip! we truly enjoyed satomi’s home and the beautiful farm she maintains. The food she prepared was delicious and homemade (breakfast and dinner). Satomi spent time talking with us about the farm, japanese lifestyle, and much more :) her positivity and humor was wonderful. she even picked us up from the airport. If you are looking for something to do, there is an additional cafe 30-40 minutes walking distance from the house. it was near a pond and had wonderful tea and desserts. we would love to stay again if we returned to the okayama area! thank you satomi!

My second stay with Tomoyuki since two years ago. Everything went beautifully as expected. The weather was not cooperating on one of the four days but that allowed me to stay in to enjoy this vintage tradition home and felt the tranquility it presented itself on a rainy day. The hike nearby was kimochīi (feeling great). The izakayas recommended were subarashī (wonderful). Tomo introduced me to spend a day at Mashiko. The famous pottery town was preparing for the upcoming Golden Week event and I appreciated "the calm before the storm" time strolling the quiet town. Some keepsakes were bought. I look forward to another visit soon, maybe in a different season to appreciate the range of activities available around the area.

Lianne is a super friendly and responsive host. The place is cozy as your own home with the great pellet stove.

If you are looking to wake up to the view of Mount Fuji, look no further - this is the perfect place that gives you a good bang for your buck. The house is clean, well maintained and amply stocked with amenities. What we particularly liked (apart from the stunning view) was the abundance of kitchen utensils and pots & pans that made it a breeze for us to prepare dinner with the ingredients we purchased from a nearby supermarket. Location wise, the house is conveniently located near the various iconic lakes surrounding Mount Fuji, all of which are less than 15 mins’ drive away. There are also variety of eateries, convenience stories and supermarkets nearby. I would highly recommend this and look forward to staying here again in my next visit.

Junko’s place is beautiful and incredibly well decorated. Every aspect is taken care of to make you feel cozy and welcome. Junko was very kind and welcomed us with a ride from the train station and a tour of the place. The place is located in a very beautiful part of the country, with lots of temples, shrines, and scenic routes nearby. We also were able to easily do daytrips to Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka.
