The place feels like home! Our family enjoyed our stay here as we were warmly welcomed by the owners. They were very accommodating and helpful during our stay. The location of the place was also near and convenient for people who will have skiing trips and onsen activities. The owners were kind and approachable. They gave recommendations on places you can visit as well as prepare your meals. Thank you so much for a memorable stay! We will go back again ❤️

We loved everything about our stay here! The location is very peaceful, the Japanese style room was very prettily decorated and spacious, and the Miyako and her husband were fabulous hosts. They were so friendly and helpful, and made us feel very well cared for. Miyako prepared delicious and generous meals for us that were absolutely beautiful. She was also a huge help with arranging luggage transfer for us as we began our planned hike along the Michinoku trail. And she and her husband offered to drive us to and from Hachinohe station at a very reasonable rate, which is a big help and big time saver because Hachinohe is very spread out.

I love how the space feels like coming back home, the owner is really kind, funny and I enjoy talking with him and other travelers. We sat all together and had some fun.time. The room I stayed in was a dormitory, the futon mattress was comfortable. I enjoyed the location as well. Even though it's a 30 min walk to the station, it's a really historical area and you will enjoy walking around. I highly recommend it!.

The house is beautiful and in a nice neighbourhood. We got a warm welcome and enjoyed the stay very much. The view into the garden was like in the picture - lovely. The tatami-room was elegant and cozy. We were happy to enjoy the hospitality of the host family. Arigatou gouzaimasu!

Lovely hosts! Dinner and breakfast each night were quite filling and delicious. Two private onsen in the basement that were just what I needed after a long day. Also a very friendly golden retriever named Bonta.

Eiju is super nice and quite knowledgeable about Japan! He was a great host and fun to talk to. He will always give you recommendations for your next trip wherever you're going. Also the house was new, clean and close to everything to do in Matsushima. Would stay there again and recommend it to anyone!

Lovely host with some English communication skills - expect a Japanese-English mix, though this ought not dissuade. Smooth check-in with a tour of the facilities. Most essential amenities provided. Facilities were clean. Local products can be bought at the Guesthouse including apple juice, original Japanese honey (made by the next-door family), and miniature instruments. One of us tried a shamisen lesson with the host for ¥3000, which was fun and interesting.

Oraphin and Taka (and of course the little one) are the most lovely hosts! Location is excellent and you are basically within a 10 min walk to all onsen and ropeways. One of the public baths is literally 20 seconds away! The space heater is also amazing and the first floor common space is always toasty :) Matsuo house is a must stay if you want a homestay-like experience in Japan :)

The host family is beyond lovely and the room super comfortable, even if a bit cold, which is to be expected in an old farm house. Breakfast was farm fresh and lovingly prepared!

The staff are very friendly and speak english. There is bar attached with a mixture of tourists and locals where I was able to learn a lot about the local area and culture. The surrounding area has a lot of natural beauty; with mountains, forests and lakes all reachable by bike (which you can rent). The hostel its self also has a common area and kitchen, which are very cosy in winter. The facilities and bedding is first rate.

The guesthouse feels like a homestay. It's Japanese style with a spacious tatami living room, but with beds in the dormitory, very comfortable sleeping quarters. The toilet is in the garage just next to bedrooms, but there's no sink downstairs. You brush your teeth in the kitchen. There's a small oven and microwave, and tea bags. It's convenient to the Samurai street, and the onsen (700 ¥) is just 5 minutes away.
