Amazing guesthouse!!! The hosts, a couple whose names I forgot to ask, are the loveliest of people. They're extremely helpful and have all the insider tips you could want. The guesthouse itself has everything: several seating areas, games, a sofa to look at the beautiful tree, and much much more. I hope to be back soon!

The hosts were very friendly and helpful and kind to our children; they made the stay feel like a family visit. We loved the big room with comfy beds and a tatami breakfast area. We also liked the onsen-style private bathroom. The breakfast was delicious and different every day. The location was in a small quiet street close to the bus- and train station, and for the people with more stamina even within walking distance of the old town and central shopping areas.

one of the best places i stayed at. The staff was so nice, even helped me with the different attractions and my suitcase. Very patient, helpful and nice. They had free tea, coffee, snacks etc. The location was so good, its lines with markets right downstairs which i didnt expect at all. Only regret is that i didnt stay there longer, but they were booked which i understand as the place was amazing. Totally recommend!! Very clean and lots of facilities
