Vacation rentals with breakfast in Minakami, Tone District

It was a great place.The host was very friendly and helpful.I would always recommend this place. Thank you very much!

今までの宿泊先ももちろん全て素晴らしかったのですが、何よりホスピタリティの溢れたご夫妻の対応には感激しました。清潔な室内、素敵な眺望のあるベランダ、ご夫妻のお出迎えと見送りまでしていただいて、、全て素晴らしくて感動しました。朝早くに手作りの朝食をお部屋まで持ってきて頂きこれまた感激です！しかも全部美味しくかったです！ご主人手作りのキャロットソースもとても新鮮で美味しかったですし、奥様の作られたおにぎりや、芋、肉料理も全てが美味しくて、、。食べながら泣きそうになっちゃいました。秩父に行った際は常にここを利用したい。とても素敵なお宿です！

寺澤 (Terasawa) was a very gracious host who had very kindly offered to fetch us, as her schedule allowed for it. Apart from that, her home was very clean and welcoming, with wonderful amenities. Despite the language barrier, she still gave it her all to check in on us and made sure that we felt at home. The hot bath I had in her home was one of the best I’ve ever had, and the traditional Japanese breakfast she meticulously prepared was delicious as well. If possible, I would definitely pay a visit back to Chichibu just to stay at Terasawa’s home again. 10/10.

I have to say that this is the highlight of this trip in Japan. Mitsuru san friendly welcomed me even I arrived early in the morning. He introduced his house and how he enjoyed his life living in country side. After some discussion, we decided to go somewhere deep inside the mountain that foregine travellers could hardly found. We had a delicious lunch and went to take a bath in an onsen that a solo traveller relying on pulic transport like me can never reach. What really inspires me is our conversation during the drive in his car which was so fruitful and informative （ I can only speak poor Japanese, but Mitsuru san would listen and gradually explain to me by his fluent English), which helps me to understand more in local life and culture. I have to express my deepest gratitude to Mitsue san（Mitsuru san's wife) for making a fascinating dinner using local food for me. I would greatly recommend here to travellers seeking for a closer experience in Japan countryside lifestyle !

这次的住宿让我们的旅行留下了难忘美好的回忆。 Masao非常热情好客，我们有幸与他和朋友Mii一同享用了地道的晚餐。Masao亲手准备了丰盛的铁板烧和我们从未尝过的关东特色——文字烧，配上清酒和茶，整个晚餐时光十分愉快。 家中准备了各种小游戏，我们一起玩得很开心。屋内还有钢琴、围棋和丰富的漫画等，都是为住客精心准备的，如果你感兴趣，强烈推荐来体验。 早餐也十分用心，有沙拉、煎蛋和美味的茶泡饭，Masao还贴心地准备了年糕甜点。 得知我们是首次来到日光，Masao为我们规划了行程，提供了地图和景点资料，还在入住前和退房后帮忙寄存行李，细节处处体现关怀。 家中洗漱用品齐全，茶水饮料、小吃游戏应有尽有。家中提供了旅行所需要的一切。房屋地理位置也相当不错，距离车站步行不到十分钟的路程，几分钟路程内可以找到便利店、自动贩卖机和美味的餐馆。房间也干净整洁，住宿体验很好。 这次由于时间有限，只在日光停留了一晚。在不远的将来我一定会再次造访，并停留更久的时间。期待与Masao在将来能够再次见面。

お風呂めっちゃきれいです！ 豪華なリビングも使わせていただけました！ インターナショナルなお話もきけます。 最初から最後まで親切にしていただけるので、おすすめです！

The highlight of our stay was the host, Masao-san, and his mother. They provided us with breakfast, which was included in the stay fee. They also offered to cook us Japanese dinner for a small price, which we very much enjoyed. We also enjoyed our conversations with Masao-san. The place is walkable from the nearest station, Tobu-Nikko station. The road to the accommodation is luggage-friendly. The rooms are on the second floor, so bringing the luggage up can be a challenge, but this was expected and we were well-informed. The checkout time (12 PM) is quite rare, allowing us to enjoy more of the house and Nikko town.

素敵なお部屋で、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。 ホストの方が描かれたアート作品がたくさん飾られていて見応えがあり、空間全体も清潔でとてもくつろげます。 なによりホストの方がとても温かく、たくさんお話ししてくださったおかげで、素敵な思い出がたくさんできました。 お食事もすべて美味しく、食材へのこだわりが感じられて感動しました。 日光へ行かれる方には、心からおすすめしたいお宿です！

Yumi and Brad have turned a tired hotel into a great little place that offers Western style service while maintaining the charm of small mountain village family inn. Room was Japanese style with a big queen size bed. Could easily sleep 5 people making the value very good. Breakfast was simple but filling. Great little bar downstairs with live music 3 nights a week. The best part of Yumi's place is the location. Right smack in the center of town. Not a lot to do, but it's a great place for a few days. Oh. And the skiing is world class! Just a short walk to the people mover and the hill is yours. Hit the hot spring baths around town after a ski and you will know why Japan is so magical! I'll be back!

Miho was a gracious and friendly host! We had daily homecooked breakfast which was delicious and hearty! The accoms was a 5min walk to the karasawa ski lift and the ski rental shop. It was certainly a pleasant stay!

This is the second year in a row that we've stayed with Rika and Greg. We came back because we knew it would be a wonderful weekend. Location is very close to Ishiuchi ski resort and a short drive from Echigo Yazawa station. There's a really nice onsen just down the street from the house. Rika/Greg have great recommendations for delicious restaurants nearby. The house fits two large groups comfortably with a big common area, nice kitchen, drying room, and a bathroom facility that works well for large groups. To me, that's all I can hope for in an Airbnb. What makes this place the best in Japan is Greg and Rika. They make you feel like family. Always good recommendations, always good stories, and always happy to help. Really looking forward to continuing our annual Ishiuchi tradition and see Rika and Greg next year.

標高1000m以上の場所にあり、夏でもとても快適に過ごせ、施設内もとても清潔で温泉も新しく旅の疲れを癒せます。 ウッドテラスで朝食を食べられ、朝食も美味しく緑があり最高の朝を迎えられます。 オーナーの方もとても明くる良い方で色々細かい所まで、気を使って頂きホスピタリティも完璧です。 自然の中でユッタリ休日を過ごしたい方にオススメの宿です。

Klabbe was of great help to us! incredibly helpful and accommodating!

今回は大人数で利用させていただきました。飲み会用の部屋やナイター組の早めの食事の用意などこちらの都合に合わせて段取りしていただき本当にありがとうございました。私自身は怪我で参加できませんでしたが、来シーズンは利用したいと思います。この度はありがとうございました。

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.

Great place and one of the friendliest host in Japan, would definitely visit again during Fall as the foliage would be breath taking. Be aware that if you don't have a car the closest grocery place is a convenient store and not a supermarket in case you want to make use of the kitchen.
