Cottages in Hakusan

This is a stunningly beautiful old Japanese-style house a short walk from Tsurugi station. The architecture and decorations are amazing, and it seemed like every room had a great view of a garden. I really enjoyed my stay there, and appreciated the chance to experience a traditional home. The host is very sweet. Some things to note: * There's now a lock on the front door, so no need to carry your valuables with you or inform the host when leaving. * There are no chairs in the entire house. Be prepared to sit on cushions on the floor. * Baths aren't allowed, but the shower works fine. If the hot water isn't on, the controls are in the room with the sink and microwave, on the back wall by the towels. * I couldn't find any spoons; if you plan to eat food from the store, you might want to bring your own plates and utensils. * The bedroom next to the living room only has an overhead lamp. I had brought a nightlight, and found it extremely helpful in this situation. The flashlight on your phone would also work. If you can deal with the lack of chairs, I highly recommend staying here for a glimpse into Japanese history.

Awesome location, nice size room for the money. Felt so private and cozy. Very close walk to the train and you'll pick up your keys at the station upon arrival. Very easy! Employees are really nice, you are in a small town so please be respectful and plan ahead. If you want to do the BBQ it is done by the host to plan accordingly when scheduling.

The Japanese host was incredibly kind and welcoming. She was even willing to communicate through WhatsApp, so I updated her when we were at the airport and shared our live location — she kindly waited for us until night. The house had everything we needed — a washing machine, Wi-Fi, hangers, laundry detergent, body soap, shampoo, kitchen, plates, cups — so we only needed to buy fresh ingredients for cooking. The Lawson convenience store was just a short walk away, and we could also walk to the train station and the town center. If we didn’t feel like walking, there were buses and taxis available — very convenient! Staying there truly felt like living in a traditional Japanese home. The neighborhood was extremely clean and peaceful — it felt like a truly authentic Japanese experience.

It was in a quiet area clean washer and dryer in the unit and a little fridge

The girl from the staff was soooo kind and helpfull. The room was bigger than we thought so that was so nice. There is a bus stop in front of the house too, so i would recommend It if you are doing the same kind of holidays as us.

In a terrific location a little bit away from the crush of tourists during the busy time and a little more local feeling. Loved the authentic atmosphere, garden and pottery. Beds were very comfortable. Art and design. And so close to the spectacular river and blooming cherry trees.

It was very easy to pick up the keys from a separate location that was enroute to the stay from the train station.

Charming home, very well taken care of, near town center, excellent
