My family and I had to wonderful stay! The house was very clean and included all the necessities! The location was ideal, within walking distance to many great places to eat, including a nearby 7-11, a nearby grocery store, and a short walk to the train station. The host was very accommodating and helpful and responded immediately to my requests! My family and I look forward to our return!

Dear Nina,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We’re truly happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay and found everything comfortable and convenient.
Your kind words made our day — thank you again!
We’d absolutely love to welcome you and your family back anytime.
Until then, please take care and stay well 😊
Warm regards,
Billy / Yayoi Hotel
The owners are very friendly, attentive, and quick to communicate. The hotel itself is off a Main Street and near the bus station and train station. It’s a few minutes by taxi to Sunshine City, which has amazing food and shopping. The hotel is quite spacious with three bedrooms. We had a party of 8 that fit quite nicely. One room has two Western beds, while the other two rooms have traditional Japanese beds. There’s a dining room, full kitchenette, futon (that also can double as a bed), two showers, a bathroom on each level, tv, free wi-fi, and a washer & dryer. It’s literally everything you could need!There’s also an e-scooter rental next to the property. A short walk and there are many restaurants (ramen, udon, Tex-Mex steakhouse), and a 7-11. Walk a little further and there’s more shopping, including two boba tea places (both good), many restaurants, and a grocery store. Keep walking and you’ll run into a really nice area with bustling city life. Outside of sightseeing and specific neighborhoods for shopping, a 7-17 minute walk could get me absolutely everything my family and I needed (medicine, water, meals, groceries, coffee, etc.). Worth noting: the water pressure in the shower heads are wonderfully strong. No issues with water pressure when two folks are using both showers and running the washer. Overall: AI have included some photos of interesting places within a few minutes walking distance, & sushi from a local grocery stores for under 1,000 JPY.

Hi Phil,
Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review!
Despite the inconvenience, you graciously accepted our suggestions and even gave us such a positive review - we truly cannot thank you enough.
We are incredibly grateful for your understanding and generosity regarding the construction noise during your stay.
When you visit Japan again, we will be fully prepared to welcome you with the best possible experience.
Our entire staff looks forward to hosting you again in the future.
Best Regards,
Yayoi Hotel

Clean rooms, in-unit washer and dryer, location is near 2 train stations, convenient stores, grocery stores, other supply stores in a short walking distance and very easy to communicate with the host. Super happy to have stayed here.
For our group of 5 the size of the unit worked out very well. There was room for all to eat at the same table. Kitchen was well stocked (but I would prefer ceramic dishes/mugs over wood looking plastic ones). Location had good access to restaurants and grocery stores within 15 minute walk.Note that second floor bedroom is accessed by a steep staircase (narrow treads) with no handrail.

Hi Tom,
Thank you so much for staying with us and for taking the time to write a review on VRBO. I’m glad to hear that the house size and dining area worked well for your group.
I also truly appreciate your private feedback regarding the amenities. Your suggestions are very helpful for us. We will definitely look into adding trash cans and towel bars to the bathrooms. Regarding the dishes and the shower mat, we will work on replacing them with more comfortable and microwave-safe options to improve the guest experience.
Thank you again for helping us improve our home. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
Best regards,
Billy
