Monthly Rentals in Aoki, Chiisagata District

We had such a lovely time at Rentaro's beautiful and big house. As the other reviewers say, there aren't any photos of the very large western-style side of the house which includes a big kitchen, dining room and lounge. There is also a big giant bath-tub with a heater that can reheat the water. It is next door to a beautiful temple and quite peaceful. We had much more room than we realized. I would say having a car works best - the bus and train didn't run so frequently. But we used it as a base to explore bessho onsen, the venus line, lake suwa, kusatsu. Rentaro went above and beyond as a host. On our way to Ueda I left my phone in a taxi and he called the drive and arranged for it to be sent to the next hotel we stayed at. He was generous with towels and all the amenities at the space. We loved our stay here and there was even toys for our two year old.

Thanks for the one night and two days! We used the BBQ area. It was very helpful that the host lit the fire at the time of arrival. The toilet and sink were clean and easy to use. I'd love to stay again.

I spent a little week in Tomomi's adjoining house and it was a lovely stay. The house is spacious and comfortable. It was still cold outside , but the kotatsu , heated blanket, and oil heaters were perfect. A vintage home that makes it possible to feel the Japanese habitat of the 1960s. In the countryside with a nice exterior. And even if I didn't have a car, Tomomi was available to drive me.

Kim is an excellent host. Very responsive and helpful. She helped us contact some of the local agents and book some activities which was veey useful. The accommodation is conveniently located and clean.
