Farmstay vacation rentals in Tōkai Region

Yuki and her guesthouse are wonderful. I was hiking the Kumano Kodo and Yuki offered to pick me up from Koguchi and drop me off the following morning, a 30-minute drive. On the way she stopped at a supermarket so I could get some groceries as the guesthouse is fairly isolated. The conversation both ways was great, Yuki is a very nice and interesting person. When I arrived at the guesthouse (which was quite spacious and had a lot of amenities considering the price), there was a basket of fresh, homemade bread waiting. The Japanese-style shower was great. I was there in early spring so it wasn't a problem then, but there were mosquito nets over both beds for the summer. Great great great person and stay. Thank you!

A rural retreat, off the tourist path, but easily accessible by train from Tokyo. We were keen for some rural Japan after quite a few stops in urban centres. The house is in a quiet, unspoilt setting. You can do short walks from the house that can include views of Mount Fuji down the valley. There's other places you can pop into too, such as the Owl Cafe or the wonderful deli/shop at the petrol station up the road. The house itself has kept its rustic and traditional appearance and features, while also having very functional equipment, from Wifi to everything you'd need for cooking. Some great places to read and relax in, from the garden to by the wood burner. We did not have car which was fine - it's just 6 minutes by taxi from the station, but a car would allow you to explore further afield. Ryo the host was very helpful with answering questions rapidly and clearly. I would highly recommend!

Amazing stay! Thank you so much to the hosts for such a caring, enriching, and memorable experience. We feel so lucky that they shared their unique home and life with us.

Nach 14 Tagen Tokyo und Kyoto haben wir uns auf Osaka ..ruhiger und eher typischer Japanisch sehr gefreut. Makota hat uns vom Bahnhof abgeholt. Kontakt war sofort herzlich und unkompliziert. Unsere Unterkunft Gästehaus 2 war wie gebucht. Einfach , keine Betten, Matrazen oben auf einer Empore , Aufstieg mit steiler Leiter. Fußbodenheizung., einfache Küche, herdplatte, Backofen….Toller Gemüsegarten. Eigener Schrein. 4 Gartenstühle…was ich bisher nirgends gesehen habe. Altes traditionelles Haus. Fahrräder vorhanden. Bahnhof zu Fuß 10 Minuten weg. Sportanlagen und Park in der Nähe. Viele Läden und Lokale. Umgebung schön. Makoto und Frau geben Infos, man kann gemeinsam kochen und essen, Onsen und Tempel besuchen, im Garten mitarbeiten…. Ich wäre gerne länger geblieben. Sollte ich wieder nach Japan reisen wohnen wir wieder bei Makoto und Naomi

Staying with the Kuchu family has truly been the highlight of my trip to Japan. The family is lovely and eager to help with anything, Yuki is very knowledgeable and flexible in his timings and the area is a beautiful local mountain scenery filled with antique houses in perfect condition. The meals served with the family were also perfect and the children were very friendly. Just be aware that the location is quite isolated so be sure to have a car or follow the bus timetable well, however I think the isolation contributes to the charm of the place and Yuki is always happy to help give you some instructions ! Amazing experience overall !

Absolutely gorgeous place with very welcoming hosts. We had a great time and we were served delicious dinner and breakfast after we took a bike ride around the neighborhood to see the gorgeous local temples and vistas

We really enjoyed our stay here! The house is adorable and gives you a good feel of Japanese home life. It has everything you could need. It is very walkable to konbini and restaurants. The hikes and nature nearby are lovely. My son and I enjoyed the garden (fun for some no-too-tricky hide and seek!). Would definitely stay here again!

Byron was very friendly and communicative. Met us on arrival and gave helpful instructions about the house, area, and local shops. House was lovely and homey. Great kitchen and bbq, comfy futons, and spacious sleeping areas

The house is with great view of Mount Fuji. You can enjoy the view of different times on the bean bags of the common place. We really enjoyed ourselves during the stay. The host is very responsive. He also provides free shuttle service from the JR station and the free bikes. Very helpful and friendly!

We had an amazing time staying in this authentic Japanese traditional house that blends classic charm with modern comforts. The place was really clean and well kept, and you can tell Xian Jie, the owner pays attention to all the little things, which made it feel really cozy. The best part was definitely the brand-new private onsen—such a nice way to relax and made the trip way better. I highly recommend this place, and strongly suggest booking the optional dinner and breakfast to fully enjoy the authentic Japanese hospitality and cuisine made with local ingredients. This stay offers a perfect blend of tradition, comfort, and luxury for an unforgettable experience. Thumbs up👍

Hiro is een hele vriendelijke, snel reagerende en attente host. Onze aankomsttijd was een paar uur verlaat en dit was geen enkel probleem, we werden nog steeds persoonlijk welkom geheten. Eenmaal in het appartement waren alle verzieningen zoals beloofd en vooral het bad en de authentieke inrichting maakte ons verblijf een geweldige ervaring. Daarnaast had Hiro veel leuke lokale tips. Van harte aanbevolen!

An interesting farm stay with all amenities. A pushcart for the luggages which is unique. Definitely a great place for a large group.

The house was lovely, probably the nicest of the 4 we rented during our stay in Japan. Comfortable beds, all the amenities we wanted. The view of Fuji from the decks really make it. Communications with the host was great, they were responsive and friendly. We also hired his car which allowed us to explore further afield and visit more places, which I would recommend. There are restaurants and a supermarket within walking distance however and the lake is only 10 mins walk. I would definitely stay here again if we come back to Fujikawaguchiko.

男性4人でゴルフの後に利用させて頂きました。 とても親切にご案内頂き、ホスピタリティはとても良かったです。 またお邪魔したいと思います。

Simply put: Hidden gem. Only 3 minute walking distance to/from Hida station. The host literally picked us up in case there was no taxi available (in fact he dropped us off for our departure too!). Extremely comfortable bed, right at the center of Hida, surrounded by great restaurants, super safe I mean the list goes on. Best part? 3 fully charged e-bikes to tour around at your own pace. There’s 1 bathroom for shower/hot tub. And another just for the toilet. Multiple heaters around the house in case you can’t handle the cold during winter. Kohei prepared a list of activities and restaurants to visit. Even though we only stayed for 2 nights we had enough time to visit Takayama’s old town (MUST DO!!) only 10-15 minute train ride from a station which is literally right by the Airbnb location. BOOK NOW BEFORE IT GETS BOOKED. TRUST YOU WONT FIND MANY AS GREAT AS THIS SPOT!! All the best to Kohei and his future guests…

Very lovely place, very friendly host. The kitchen had classical musical playing in the background, and the baths were very high-tech (auto-filling etc). Rooms were very spacious. Would love to stay here again!
