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 ❤️

The owner is welcoming and enthusiastic. The meals were home-cooked, and quite delightful. The owner helped us facilitate a side trip in the area, very kindly. It's a remote rural location, which has its own beauty.

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 :)
