Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Honshu

Good experience, very convenient check-in. The room is very clean, the bedding is very comfortable.

We spent a night at Shuji and his wife's house. We were very well received in a nice house arranged with taste and care. Breakfast was plentiful and varied. We recommend!

Yuriko is a wonderful and very generous host. She picked us up at the train station, even though we missed our original stop. She even drove us around the next day to visit the Hamada Museum and pottery shops. Her breakfast is wonderful, I highly recommend it. Her place is cozy and easy to feel at home.

The host speaks English very well and is very friendly. The area around the house is very quiet.

Chris went out of his way to make me feel welcome. If you are an English speaker, it may be that he can answer cultural and other questions about Japan. Chris was kind enough to drop me off at a swordsmith’s workshop nearby where I spent the day.

Chieri was welcoming and the perfect host. Together with her mother Kauri-san and beautiful WabiSuke, they made us feel at home and gave us a little experience of living within a Japanese Community which is what we were seeking. From inviting us to a local Sushi restaurant to allowing us to share her Tea Ceremony class, Chieri has made our short stay truly memorable.

One of the best places I've stayed, so peaceful and gorgeous and lovely in the shoulder season of may. Wako was generous in helping as needed and her breakfast was fantastic! The private onsen was just what we needed after hiking. All in all a mountain gem!

John is one of the best host I’ve ever met at Airbnb. He is very friendly, outgoing and enthusiastic. He and his wife are very nice. I also love his dogs. They are very cute.

The house felt just like home and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast offered at the accommodation was excellent and there’s free coffee and tea for guests to enjoy at any time. The location is great in winter being close to the lifts but in autumn a lot of the restaurants were closed and it’s far to the Hakuba center. It would definitely help having a car while staying here.

My wife and I stayed at Bears lodge for our ski trip to Hakuba and had a really great experience. Everyone was incredibly friendly and happy to help with anything we needed. They went above and beyond picking us up and dropping us off at the bus terminal on arrival and departure. I would describe this home as a bed and breakfast style stay. You will be around others in closer proximity than you would a hotel but everyone is separated for their privacy with lockable rooms and plenty of space (considering you’re in Japan). We also used the TA-Q-BIN delivery service to send our skis which they graciously accepted before our arrival and had them waiting for us in our room. The lodge is also very conveniently located in the center of echoland with plenty of walkable restaurants and bars around as well as in very close proximity to the bus stops that pick you up and drop you off right at the base of whichever mountain you are looking to ski that day. There’s also a secure dry room for skis.

Location was fantastic, right next to bus stops with easy access to ski mountains. Staff fantastic, always friendly, and very helpful. Room was very spacious, comfy beds, and plenty of storage space. Would love to come and stay again!

I stayed two nights this time. I was able to arrive on the street on the map I saw in advance, and there was a convenience store along the way, so I had a pleasant time without any inconvenience. The breakfast I had for two consecutive days was warm and warm, and it was a delicious and happy time to change the taste and menu. Thank you very much!

Best Airbnb! we stayed at their 200 yeas old farmhouse with wonderful rooms, a terrace and surroundings. Very cozy big house. We have had a BBQ dinner together with the hosts and they also served us breakfast. it was super great to stay there.

I was really grateful that you came to pick me up until late, and for the welcome tea, breakfast, and onigiri that I could eat on the plane. It was so delicious. I didn't think I'd experience a homely Airbnb in Japan, but I think I brought a lot of warmth from the trip. I should have left a review right away, but I'm sorry I didn't, and I hope you're happy with your dog. If I have to go to Osaka, I'll visit again:)

This little place is a gem and the hosts are amazing! Though you can’t ski in/out, the hosts will give you a lift to any resort for the day and pick you up. They can also drive you to the restaurants in Akakura town. You can even order dinner in and the food was delicious! I would stay here again if I was visiting the area in the future.

This is a living experience that adds points to the Karuizawa trip.The landlady is very kind. Because she had time, she offered to pick us up at the station, which was a big surprise before we arrived╰ (*°▽ ° *). The╯ check-in process was smooth. The landlady's English communication was completely ok. The car rental information and surrounding activities information provided to us were very detailed and accurate ~ When I encountered problems, the landlady was also able togive me a solution right away to help me get rid of the trouble ~ The house staff is a lovely short-term part-time student, very enthusiastic and polite, we had a pleasant chat and a deeper understanding of each other's culture ~ Although it is a pity that I did not see the aunt again after the stay, I am very grateful for the thoughtful service she provided to us.

Chiba is a beautiful area to see and Jo is a great host that is quick and responsive to any questions you have.

Great value and location, can’t beat it.

We had an amazing experience at Chiyako-san's home. The traditional Japanese-style room was spacious for the two of us, and she ensured that we were comfortable and warm despite the drizzling rain outside. We explored the area and enjoyed the onsen nearby. We loved the meals we had here! For dinner (which we opted in for at an extra charge), Chiyako-san prepared a spread of fresh vegetables and meat for shabu-shabu, which was delicious. The complimentary breakfast was really appetising as well! Chiyako-san and her family are really friendly and we had a lovely time chatting with them after breakfast. Suitable for anyone looking for a short respite in the countryside of Japan!

Staying at Aibiya was by far the best part of our month long trip to Japan. Yoshi and Seongmi are truly exceptional people, their hotel is wonderful and they made our trip memorable. We are fortunate we got to stay here and will definitely return!

Words cannot express how magical this place is. Chiyako is the kindest and most caring host. The food is outstanding and the whole experience was so much more than we dreamed about. Could not recommend more highly x
