"Pros: -convenient location Takaoka Station about 7 mins walk Restaurants about 3 mins walk (options limited though) Supermarket to buy ingredients about 10 mins walk -toilet and bathroom very clean, with a bath tub -kitchen utensils enough for cooking (pot, fry pan, knives, rice cooker, kettle, plates, bowls, cups) ☆my family appreciate this a lot! It didn't provide seasoning or oil though.You can go to the nearby supermarket for shopping. -a washing machine -beautiful old Japanese style house with comfortable tatami. Some comments here said there were dusts, but I found none during my stay. It was very clean. Cons: -Some instructions are only in Japanese. If you don't understand Japanese, you may have a little problem figuring out where some utensils are or how to use some facilities. -The main room is next to another smaller room, which makes the space too large, so the air-conditioner heats it up very slowly. It may be better if there are doors(?)or curtains to separate the rooms." ~Annie

"Pros: Modern, spacious, and clean property. Great value for money, and a quite unique offering for families in the area of Takaoka. I expect coming back 2-3 times annually. Cons: Nothing to dislike!" ~Christos
