Homestays in Yoshino

I really liked staying in this house, was perhaps a little too big for one but it was very relaxing ! and also the owner was very kind

Very beautiful place. The facilities are very nice and clean. The hosts were very kind, we had tea and water bottles awaiting us when we arrived. Thank you for a very relaxing and pleasant stay !

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Shogo's home, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. This 150-year-old historical building, offers a charming blend of tradition and modern comfort for a memorable stay. Shogo, the owner, was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout my stay. He went above and beyond to ensure that I had a comfortable and enjoyable visit. Not only did he provide excellent recommendations for local restaurants, but he also made reservations on my behalf. The location was nice and easy to find if you go by a car, with the added bonus of having an onsen and a supermarket nearby. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere.

Our family stayed here for one night on New Year’s Eve, and we could not have chosen a better place to be for the occasion. From the start of our stay until the end, this was a truly exceptional experience. The hosts picked us up on the train platform and drove us to the house. We stayed in a gorgeous and spacious room, which was perfectly warm. After slipping into our yukatas, we were pleasantly surprised that the hosts prepared an elaborate shabu-shabu dinner for us in a special room, to celebrate the New Year. Aside from the delicious food, the hosts also explained every single element of the meal in detail (from how it is prepared to how it should be eaten). We had amazing sake to go with the food. We have never before received such amazing attention and service during a meal as we have here. After dinner, the hosts prepared a traditional Japanese bath for us and kept it warm the whole time by burning wood, while we took turns bathing. We had heated futons to sleep on, and we felt extremely relaxed (but still in a celebratory mood) when the clock struck midnight. We were particularly grateful for the hosts’ time, given we had arrived a bit late after spending a long time in Nara earlier in the day. They stayed up with us and took excellent care of us, and we never felt rushed. We are incredibly thankful. In the morning, we could choose a time for breakfast at leisure. The hosts prepared yet another fantastic meal for us, an amazing traditional Japanese breakfast. Homemade, very tasty, and informative. There is a lot more we could say, but seeing as space is limited, we especially want to mention the beatiful courtyard in the middle and the modern bathroom. The surrounding area was also peaceful and very pretty, and we enjoyed walking to the station in the morning, seeing the architecture and nature in the countryside (though the hosts again kindly offered to drive us, we chose to walk for the experience). A wonderful, unforgettable stay. Thank you!

We loved our stay here, everything about it was great.

The location is beautiful and quiet, and the hostel is always clean. The owner is really friendly and kind too, I would recommend being able to speak some Japanese so that you can get to know him. My suitcase wheels broke on the way to the hostel so I had to carry my suitcase all the way from the station. When I arrived drenched in sweat he said I should have called him and he would have picked me up; the very next day he drove me to a 2nd hand store to buy a new one.

It was a really nice stay with an extremely nice and friendly host lady. The house is very nice, very clean and elegantly cared. Surely a place to return!

Fantastic host, he gave me recommendations for dinner at a scrumptious place and waited for me at the property aligned with my timings! Great facilities for the toilets too, and very easily located by the directions given by the host!
