Monthly Rentals in Kyotamba, Funai District

This is my first time in Japan, and meeting the lovely yumi and harufumi at haruya in these two days was the best experience of this trip. This house and the owner and everyone I met are different, kind, warm and sincere. You can feel it from their smiles. And I was very lucky to join their yoga activities, which allowed me to meet new friends. By the way, there is also the lovely lily. This is awesome! You can feel the attention to detail of Yumi and Farufumi in the house. You can hear the sound of the stream, the sound of the leaves swaying, and the sound of various insects chirping at night. It really slows down time. I will come back with my loved ones if I have the chance!

Shun gave us a warm welcome at check-in. He’s incredibly friendly and took the time to show us around the house. The home itself is spotless and beautifully maintained, offering an authentic experience of staying in a traditional Japanese house. The surrounding nature is stunning, and the village is peaceful both day and night. You can hear the nearby river at night, which we personally found soothing and relaxing. The house is conveniently located just a few kilometers from town, where you’ll find plenty of restaurants, cafés, and shops. It’s also a perfect base for exploring the nearby area, including the charming fishing village of Ine. Highly recommend staying at Shun’s place for a serene and genuine Japanese countryside experience!

We stayed for two nights and had a lovely time in Nose, with Shohei and Mami as the perfect hosts. The guest house was immaculate and well cared for. We enjoyed the beautiful breakfasts provided each morning and had the most amazing dinner made by Mami. The bikes were a great perk - we loved riding those around the rice fields for hours in the nearby village. Hiking up the mountain above the guest house to see the shrines and temples was also an unexpected surprise. This area is full of hidden gems and the kindest people - highly recommend!

My partner and I stayed at Twinkle Ville for two nights. It was a wonderful and relaxing time. The house is spacious and charming! There are nice touches around the house to make it feel like a home, such as books to read and cute decorations. We decided to take advantage of the large kitchen (very rare in Japan) and cooked our meals here. We brought our own groceries, including oil and spices (make sure to check the listing to make sure you have what you need). Older houses like this in the countryside can get quite chilly in the winter but there were heating units and well space heaters to keep us warm! Plus the blankets in the bedroom are very warm as well. Hopefully we’ll have a chance to stay in the future, thanks again! ありがとうございます~ Becka and Chris
