Vacation rentals in Maniwa

Alan and Reiko went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to ease certain travel pains. We were celebrating a birthday and they were kind of enough to arrange a cake from the mainland, they helped us locate a camera left on the ferry, they facilitated a bike rental, they gave us rides when we needed them, the list goes on. We were lucky enough to eat at their newly opened restaurant, and had the most incredible meal - probably the best we have eaten in Japan thus far! This is to say nothing of their lovely property, which is sublime. We stayed in the queen villa and were able to look out at the beautiful garden foregrounding the sea and sky. The historic buildings were breathtaking, with modern touches to ensure our comfort. I especially enjoyed the espresso machine in the mornings! I look forward to someday returning to this incredibly beautiful and peaceful spot, thank you Alan and Reiko for a memorable family birthday weekend!

とても快適に過ごすことができ、本当にお世話になりました。 室内はとてもきれいで清潔です。またキッチン用品など、よく整えられていて使い勝手が非常に良かったです。お風呂もあたらしく、十分リラックスできました。 またホスト様の細やかな気配りやご親切も本当に感謝でした。また是非利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました！

We had a great stay at Yumiko's guest house. From the start Yumiko and Shinichi were very responsive to any messages that we sent. She proactively reached out to us to schedule our check in, and was very flexible with how our plans kept getting pushed back due to various things like traffic and kids. She gave us great recommendations for the area. Our check in experience was great. Shinichi met us at the bottom of the stairs and gave us a tour of the guest house, explaining everything in detail. Yumiko and Shinichi provided us with various amenities that we did not expect, such as some snacks, water bottles, and a baby crib for our infant. The guest house itself was great, exactly as the listing shows. It was very clean and well furnished and was easy to start living in it. We felt right at home in this guest house. Overall, Yumiko and Shinichi made our stay at Okayama perfect. I will definitely be returning in the future and telling others about it.
