Beautiful surroundings (rice paddy fields and farms, shinto shrines), convenient location literally next to Oto JR Station. Nice traditional Japanese style house and talkative owner.
I very much enjoyed my stay here! Yuji is a funny and accommodating host, he gave me a lot of recommendations for all over Japan.
The Samurai Guest House is a living museum of Japanese carpentry. The stay there opens our eyes to the Japanese suburban life.
