Cheap hotels in Aira

The owner was super nice, spoke English, let me use his bike, and picked me up! The wife was super fun and nice too! She was really inclusive and also did a great job accommodating my stay! Being able to explore the city with the bike made my stay a lot more fun and exciting, as well as cost efficient!

very cozy, lots of ways to keep warm in the cold weather. beds were clean and comfortable. kitchen had coffee and tea. television room was very cozy. lots of space.

This has been the most amazing (1 month) stay for us at any kind of rental property for several reasons. The house has both, a traditional Japanese flair and the most modern amenities. The furniture, fixtures and appliances were all of high quality brands. The kitchen, bathroom, bathtub, toilet, water dispenser, air con, TV etc, even the beds were great, although we have back problems and are very picky regarding that. Everything was spotless, as if newly built. Inside the house it was very calm, Wifi worked well and we had everything needed to cook and stay comfortably. The surrounding area is calm and breathtakingly beautiful, with traditional homes and lovely gardens—like a picture book. If you look at the area in Google Maps Streetview you'll know what we mean. Of course Aira has many attractions, but the one that inspired the house’s name is even right nearby: Japan’s largest tree at the local shrine-a mystical, beautiful place. The above alone makes this a very special place and even though it's obviously in the "country side", it’s unexpectedly convenient even without a car: the bus stop is only a 3-minutes walk and even the airport shuttle stops there, so we could arrive directly from the airport. A supermarket and farmers’ market are just a few meters farther, and a convenience store is about a 5-minutes walk. There are also lovely cafes and unique restaurants. We often see "the owner is nice" in reviews. In our case, the landlord was genuinely kind and caring. We felt welcome and looked after throughout our month. We’ll keep the details private, and of course every stay is different, but the owner's warmth truly made our time here special. We will come back for certain!
