古き良き 昔の日本人の生活が味わえます

ほっこり農村生活が味わえます。 囲炉裏もあり 火の暖かみを感じながら そこで地の野菜や肉を 自分達で焼いて 食事も楽しめました。 古民家なので 快適さはホテルとは 見劣りしてしまいますが、 本質的な幸せを 感じられる宿です。 この辺が 評価の難しいところでしたが、 そう言った生活を楽しめる人にとっては それも味、ご馳走となります。 トイレが外にあり 11月中旬の京北では 夜厳しかったので その点だけ参考まで 設備欄を4点にさせてもらいました。 が、古き良き日本人の生活 あまり便利に近代化せず 残して欲しい宿です。 オーナー夫婦もとても温かく 親切にご対応していただけました。 一軒貸切なので、 また暖かい季節に 大勢で行っても楽しいかな？ と感じられました。

A personal experience of rural Japan

If you want to get a glimpse of rural life in Japan, this place is hard to beat! Beautiful old home and a wonderful host/hostess. Sitting around the fire drinking tea was a highlight. The fire is open on all side, creating a social place that is personal and meaningful. Food and drinks in homemade ceramics is also a highlight.
