A spacious private room in a modern, well-maintained home with Japanese & British hosts in the mountains near Tokyo. Easy access from central Toyko, historic Kawagoe and to local hots springs. The area features hiking, temples, rafting, an outlet mall and BBQ spots! Recently, our area featured in the NHK series 'Journeys in Japan' as 'Okumusashi' and our bed and breakfast features towards the end. You can access this by googling the name of series and area!

The space
★A two story, six-room house, guests are free to use the first floor and garden.
1F: Two Japanese style rooms divided by sliding doors for one to three adults. In one half you have a large table and low chairs on the floor where you can relax or work. The adjacent tatami room is for sleeping. The futon will be laid out for you and put away daily. You can fall asleep to the sound of the river and wake up to bird song. The first floor toilet is for guests use only. However, the dining/living room, kitchen, bath/shower room are shared.
2F: This is private but, if you need to sleep in beds, there is an extra guest room with two single beds. If you would prefer this room, please let us know.

During your stay
★We love interacting with guests and helping them to make the most of their time with us. We have done quite a lot of domestic travel and we are happy to share our experience. We want our guests to enjoy our area, which is not usually in guidebooks.
★On weekends or national holidays, if we are available, we are happy to drive you around in our area.

Other things to note
★Please contact us to discuss arrangements for breakfast and dinner.
★It is not easy to eat out for dinner in our area as we live in the mountains. Depending on your estimated arrival time, please discuss your dinner plans in advance. We may eat out together or you may want to go to our local hot spring where you can also eat dinner.
★Under new regulation (2018 June 15th ~ ) , we are requested to keep photocopies of guests' passport, if coming from out side of Japan.

Where you’ll be

Hanno, Saitama-ken, Japan

★Our house is near many hiking courses. About one hour hike takes you to a peak where you can see Mt. Fuji on sunny days. There are some noodle restaurants there where you can eat and enjoy the view. There are many hot springs in this area too. Also, you may want to extend your journey by going to Chichibu or Kawagoe by train. We created our own F B page to post photos of places to visit in our area. Please type Bunny and Bears' Bed and Breakfast to find us. Booking is accepted only through Air BnB.

I like to spend time with my guests
I (Japanese) and Stewart(British) lived in Tokyo for 10 years and loved living there. There were so many exciting things in Tokyo. But, we also wanted to have more space including our own garden, so we moved here a couple of years ago. We also happen to work in this area. Since then, we have been creating our own garden space, and making our house as cozy as possible. It has been very exciting to do so. Of course, we miss certain things in Tokyo, but, we do love living here. When we moved in, we could not believe how nice this area was from a city boys' point of view. We love to share our area with guests. Hope to see you soon! When you contact us, please introduce yourself a little bit to us! We would love to get to know guests better before guests arrive here! 生まれも育ちも都会ですが、縁があって数年前に飯能に引っ越してきました。飯能は、都会から1時間ちょっとの割には、とても自然が豊かな所です。広い庭を持つ事が出来たので、ガーデニング楽しんでます。 旅行が好きで、20代の頃には、ワーキングホリデーでカナダのトロントに1年半いました。最近は、もっぱらアジアが中心ですが、年に数回旅行しています。写真を撮るのも好きです。料理、そこそこします。ベジタリアンクッキングが主ですが。パンやマフィンを作るのは結構得意です。ゲストには、友人宅に来たように、くつろいで頂けたらうれしいです。時間が合えば一緒に温泉でも！ イギリス人のスチュワートと一緒にAir BnBをやっていますので、週末のプチ留学（？）にもどうぞ。 ご予約頂く際には、少しで構いませんので自己紹介もお願いします。どのようなゲストをお迎え出来るか楽しみにしています。
