Monthly Rentals in Sakaki, Hanishina District

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.

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.

It was nice to have a very comfortable stay, such as flexible changing the number of people, polite explanation at check-in, and the surrounding facilities.

Toshi & Hiro are wonderful hosts, gave us a very warm welcome and good bye on the departure day, extremely friendly, excellent and timely communicators, willing to help setting up a dedicated itinerary (including detailed bus schedules), to Nagano and other attractions in the proximity of the city, based on our personal interests. Extremely well organized, with lots of helpful and relevant maps, locations, guidance and directions that are already printed. Toshi volunteered to make calls and identified a specialized store where we could purchase a traditional Shigaraki ceramic we fell in love with during our stay in Japan. The only regret we have is our stay at their beautiful wooden house (very well equipped for all needs) was too short. Thank you Toshi & Hiro for offering us a memorable experience, and we look forward to coming back!
