Boutique hotel vacation rentals in Honshu

Great place to stay, felt right at home in the wooden lodge. Also very close to the train station. Yuki also responds to requests very quickly and even let us check in earlier. This is our second time to stay at the lodge and we specifically chose to stay here to just rest and recuperate for 3 days. The first time we stayed here was 7 years ago and we had a great time.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Arcsens. The hotel staffs are very friendly with good communications. The room is spacious for family of 4 adults and the bathroom toilet and shower are excellent. It’s in a nice and quiet neighborhood, but definitely far from the main attractions. Luckily there’s a subway station about 5 minutes walking distance from the hotel.

Very nice, peaceful location. Hosts are very responsive and nice. Kazuki-san is very nice and helpful and showed us around the town, however he does not enjoy customers who ask a lot of questions prior to the visit 😅 the house info is quite descriptive enough though. I’m an overthinker so I asked a lot of questions before 😂 Would recommend. Try to visit when there is no rain, so walking/biking around would be easier and more enjoyable.

We had the best stay at Shayne’s place. It is in such a great location. A short and beautiful walk around 10 minutes and you’re in town. Shayne was an awesome host, super helpful with recommendations and transportation around town. A really welcoming place, with a communal feel making it easy to make friends. Would definitely stay here again!

HOUSEHOLD is an absolute pearl! We spent two nights in the former Obi factory, discovering first the little details of the place, and later the closer surroundings of Himi town. The room we have stayed in was on the top floor and was wonderful—overlooking the misty Toyama Bay, we fell asleep to the sound of the waves and woke up to the morning sun. The food and coffee we were served were just impeccable, the recommendations for lunch and dinner were sincere and outstanding. We were able to go fishing one afternoon together with the owner Natsumi-san and had an absolutely great time! There is a huge kitchen to use (f.ex. to grill your caught fish), but there are many other things to do (library) and events (café, cooking courses, …) to attend. The entire team of HOUSEHOLD is very competent, funny, and incredibly kind.

Had a wonderful stay.Breakfast was also great, and the scenery, atmosphere, everything was perfect.

Really great place to stay. Staff were fantastic, room was nice and location perfect. To top it off, they have the best restaurant in town.

This place was a perfect accommodation for our snowboard trip in Hakuba. The air bnb is located steps to the chairlift of our favourite resort that we rode on our trip to Japan. The staff are so friendly and accommodating and serve breakfast every morning before you head out to ride. They offer a shuttle service everyday to whichever resort you want to hit in the hakuba area which is extremely convenient. They also offer a shuttle service to get dropped off and picked up in town if you want to go in for dinner as well as a pickup and drop off for checking in and out of the air bnb to get to your next destination. Having use of the full chefs kitchen to prepare your own meals was really great as well as the lounge where you can play pool and have drinks with all the other guests. Staying here was such a good experience and was super affordable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to end our snowboard trip. Cortina mountain is definitely our most favourite of all the places we went

I was looking for a hotel in Sumoto, and I found a hotel island (Shikano-Kaze) on Air Bnb The hotel is well cleaned, has everything you need, and the staff and owner are very kind. I would definitely recommend this place to enjoy Sumoto It is a hotel suitable for both short-term stays and consecutive nights, making it easy to travel to various places. The sea is also close, which is great! The exact address seems to be Sumoto Honmachi 2-2-2. It was listed as 2-2-33 at the time of booking, so you can definitely visit!

Comfortable beds. Central home. With elevator which is rare in Tokyo. The hosts are charming and very accommodating which is a plus to this accommodation. Recommended if staying in Tokyo.

We really like the place. It was cosy, clean, and most importantly — we woke up with very clear, beautiful view of Mt Fuji. On top of that, the room is spacious. Our daughter really likes the place too; it gives her more space to go around than any other accommodation in Japan.

Nice! Excellent

Kelly’s place came with many amenities and was within walling distance of the subway station and many other sights. I would definitely comeback again.

Great place to stay and was traditional. The host is very kind and helpful

Kelly was a great host, gave us detailed information for the arival and responded very quickly overall. Would recommend!

What a great inn! We were 4 adults in a Mount Fuji view room and it was perfect. The surroundings were beautiful. The host was very responsive. The bath was also amazing. Highly recommend.

The owner introduced me to Bai Bin very enthusiastically and picked me up at the station. The B&B is close to Sanshanbi.

Our trip in Shirahama this time really made perfect by encountering such a warm and caring host.The host is a gracious eldest and speaks fluent English and communicates very smoothly.On the day of our arrival, he personally drove to the station to pick us up, which made us feel full of kindness and peace of mind as soon as we arrived. On the way from the station to the homestay, the host introduced us to the scenery and must-go spots along the way, like a professional local guide.He will tell you "which famous spot is this side", "where to go a little further", and even if it's your first time in Shirahama, you won't feel lost or nervous at all.When he arrived at the homestay, he carefully explained to us the time it took to walk from the accommodation to various attractions, and thoughtfully prepared his hand painted map, which was very clearly marked, and it was as warm and practical as a treasure map. The room itself is also fantastic, the space is spacious and tidy, and the view from the window is stunning - the view from the whole of Shirahama is meticulously open.Every time you get up and open the curtains and see the picturesque scenery in front of you, I think this trip is too worthwhile. The host was very respectful of our privacy throughout the stay and was always ready to support us when we needed help.Can feel like he's not just taking this as a job, it's more like taking care of every traveler as a friend. All in all, this is a homestay full of people, and if you are planning to travel to Shirahama, I hope to have a comfortable and comfortable stay, and don't want to miss the local information and beauty, this is definitely the choice you shouldn't miss.Thank you so much the host for giving us such a wonderful and warm stay, we would definitely come back and recommend it to friends!

I stayed 2 nights at Utsumi’s place. He was fast to reply and came to pick me up from the train station. He and his wife are kind and helpful. They can give you recommendations around the area. The house is old but the room and the common shower room is very clean. If you have a big luggage it might be a bit hard to carry it to higher floors and reaching the house (it’s on top of a hill), but I didn’t have any trouble with a small luggage and a backpack. They also have washing machines if you need. In short, I was happy to stay there and meeting them!

We had a good stay and enjoyed!
