Monthly Rentals in Toyooka, Shimoina District

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.

Worth every penny. Such a lovely experience with such a great host. His g food is delicious! Very rare to find a traditional house like this one, thank you for allowing us to stay!

Thomas is a very kind and considerate host. Thanks for the hospitality :)

Surrounded by quiet nature, it was a very good place to refresh.The air and silence at night were especially impressive, and I was able to fully enjoy the starry sky for a short time. However, it is a little difficult to access because it is deep in the mountains.There are many narrow roads and curves, so you may need to be careful if you are not used to driving. Also, there are more insects because of the natural environment.When I opened the window, cicadas and bees came in, and I was a little busy dealing with them.If you don't like insects, I think it would be safer to bring insect repellent. The weather wasn't very good this time, so I thought it would be nice to have board games available to enjoy indoors. There were some things that concerned me, but I gave it 5 stars because I hope they will be fixed.This accommodation is recommended for those who want to spend a relaxing time in nature.
