Monthly Rentals in Minamiminowa, Kamiina District

Thanks for hosting me Hideki! It was a peaceful stay.

We really enjoyed our stay with Miwa. Her son was responsive to messages, especially useful when we organised to have our bags forwarded and to change our plans slightly due to bad weather. When we arrived, Miwa gave us a warm welcome and took us on a a tour of the place. It was spotless clean and has a nice warm shower. As described, it is a traditional home, so perfect if you want to experience sleeping on a futon atop tatami mats. We visited the area to walk the Nakasendo Trail but on this particular day the weather was very wet and so we decided to rest for the day instead. The village on a Sunday is very quiet and many of the restaurants shut up shop early. Given the situation, Miwa took pity on us and brought us some lovely baked goods. We were made to feel very welcome and would recommend a stay here for anyone visiting the area.

1000 characters are simply not enough to describe how much I enjoyed my time at Yoshie's home, so I'll do my best to be brief. Firstly, Yoshie may just be the greatest host in the history of Airbnb. Her hospitality was immense. She took the time to listen to our itnerary, pointed out the locations we'd be visiting on a map and made suggestions on where to go and what to see along the way. She even helped us buy groceries at a local supermarket and even took us to a pharmacy to buy some essentials. She was very responsive and even checked in on us regularly to see if there was anything we needed. She was the highlight of our stay. The home was immaculate. The views of the mountains from the backyard were jaw dropping. Tatsuno is a small town an hour from the Nakasendo trail, an hour from Matsumoto, two hours from Fuji lookout points and has great local bars and eateries. I only wish I had 1000 more characters to tell anyone just how much of a gem Yoshie's home is. Thanks Yoshie!

I was very polite and I was able to use it with peace of mind. We would also love to visit you during the beautiful season of cherry blossoms in spring.
