Kurumi House·October 2024

We came for 3 nights, stayed for 6. Toshi brought us fresh persimmons from his tree. The irori became our evening ritual. We'll be back.

Jen & Mike, Portland

Mugi Fields·August 2024

Kids (12 and 14) finally put down their phones. They collected eggs from Yuki's chickens every morning. Best family trip we've had.

Sarah, Melbourne

Stone Bath Retreat·January 2024

Woke up to snow. Bathed outside at 6am. Couldn't feel my toes, didn't care. The view was worth it.

David, London

Mountain View Cabin·March 2024·4★

Worked remotely for a week. Mornings on the veranda, afternoons in the village. Wi-Fi held up. Village held up better.

Only downside: the nearest coffee shop is 20 min drive. Bring beans.

Chris, Berlin

Riverside Kominka·July 2024

Swam in the river every day. Yuki taught us to make tempura with wild vegetables we picked. Simple food, best taste.

Anna & Tom, Vancouver

Old Merchant House·November 2024

The gallery ceiling is 4 meters high. Rain on the roof sounded like a concert. Gujo is beautiful in autumn.

Linda, Dublin
