The rooms are large and the bedding is comfortable. It's conveniently located close to a train station and bus stop, so it's easy to leave during the day to explore the Miyazaki area. If you like nature, this place has great atmosphere with shoji doors that open directly to the outside. The building has a lot of character and is great for if you're looking for an authentic, classic-feeling building to stay in. The place is also a campsite and its structure makes it like a cross between staying at an inn and camping. There is proper bedding, electricity, and air conditioning, so maybe a bit closer to a glamping site, but you are right next to nature. I consider this a positive more than a negative, but it's probably a good thing to note before booking. I was wondering how the shared toilet and bath would be, but it was generally nice. The shared toilet isn't limited to those staying inside the building, but includes anyone camping at the place, but there wasn't a lot of competition during my stay, and things were kept clean. The shared bath is a single bath for personal use and people staying on the property take turns using it. It has both a shower and a bath, but everyone pretty much just used the shower during my stay. There isn't a lock on the door, but it's clear when it's in use, so it isn't too awkward. A washing machine is also available for if you have laundry, so it's very convenient.

The entire house is open and without locks. It's in a safe area without much worry about intruders, but that's something to keep in mind while booking. There are also lockers available to store your things in while you are out if you have anything you're worried about. The walls are thin and it's easy to hear other guests, so if you're a light sleeper, you'll want earplugs. You can also hear the nearby train, but it isn't that loud and doesn't run too often. I'm not sure if there are yukata or towels available. I didn't ask, but I didn't see any, so you probably need to bring your own sleepwear and towel.

Cool, old farmhouse in a beautiful setting with forest to explore.

Small changes to shared amenities could make this place fantastic for all types of travelers…..guest towels, hand towels and better hand soap/shampoo/comditioner, etc. Upgrade shared kitchen supplies etc…..all are functional, but outdated/cluttered.

We booked thinking there was bikes to ride Maybe fix the bikes or remove from add

Old house in the village near train station

Nobody takes care about that old house, so it is dirty, dusty, needed to fix. Next room to ours was rented by a bid family that had a loud party till midnight and didn’t react to any comments. It’s only one shower and toilet in the house and I don’t know why we were so lucky but one girl got thick in the toilet during all morning. A lot of insects inside but it’s ok for the village. The full experience was terrible.
