Taiji, Higashimuro District : locations de vacances

We had a wonderful time in Atashika. Hisashi was such a warm and lovely host-- always available but also left us our privacy. Our time in the village was just perfect. Ocean, mountains, beach, kind people, peace! (We traveled with our toddler and teenager and both were very happy!)

What a beautiful place! We would highly recommend this temple stay. The hosts were responsive and helpful. The experiences offered at the temple, like sutra copying, meditation and the morning porridge teachings were all informative and well done. The temple itself is beautiful and the setting by the river with surrounding gardens is very peaceful and calming. It was easy to get a taxi out to the temple from the Katsuura train station. The accommodations themselves were spacious and i especially loved the beautiful old ink drawings. The mattresses were comfortable and the full kitchen was really handy to have as well. If you have a chance we would highly recommend this experience!

We had a lovely stay at Yusuke's spacious home in Shingu. There was plenty of room. The location makes it easy to get around the beautiful town, and the access to bicycles was a plus!

Six of us spent two unforgettable nights at Doratei in Ryujinmura, Japan — a beautifully renovated traditional house that seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern comfort. The open-concept, fully functional kitchen turned meal prep into a lively, social affair — moving from stove to table was effortless, making every meal a shared experience. The bucolic surroundings were a dream to explore at our own pace — winding trails, lush greenery, suspension bridges and the warmest locals. The mix of tatami mats, shoji screens, and sleek modern touches created a cozy yet stylish vibe. A special highlight was meeting Lee, an awesome storyteller who introduced us to his farm family — the goats, ducks, and chickens were an absolute delight! 🐔🦆🐐 If you’re looking to discover the quieter, more authentic side of Japan, do take the road less travelled to stay here 😌

This was such an authentic Japanese home that really felt like we had found a hidden gem. It has so much character from traditional architecture to it's peaceful garden outside. Beds were comfortable and each room came with its own heater making it a cozy experience. It was incredibly peaceful inside without hearing any cars or even noise between the rooms. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. Kitchen was great as well.

Kenji's home was spacious and incredibly clean. It was exactly as described. When we arrived, we met Kenji's mother who showed us how to enter the place. She also walked us through the home and demonstrated how to use the hot water and A/C unit. She was incredibly helpful! My partner and I stayed in Shingu to hike the Koguchi-goe and Ogumotori-goe trails for two days. We started our day by walking to the nearby bus stops and traveling to the trailheads. Because of the home's location, we were also able to finish our days at local restaurants. We plan to stay here again in the future!

I can’t wait to come again and stay longer. That is all that has to be said about this acommodation. Beautiful location, the space outside and inside is amazing. Felt like at home from the first second I arrived. Also the host is amazing, friendly and very helpful.

Great place in Katsura and host is great!

It's a very nice house, clean and convenient for who is doing the Kumano Kodo trail. The place is perfect for a short stay, the bus stop is 3min away. But be aware if you're planing to go to town the last bus to get back is at around 17:30. There is a restaurant near by but hours doesn't help much. Motoe has you covered as she has filled the house with snacks and drinks to buy at a reasonable price and also kindly offered to take us to the nearest supermarket. It is a great place to spend the night.
