The best guest house in all of Japan. Beautiful and quiet surroundings, not too far from the center of Osaka, about 20 minutes by train. The house has a true Japanese atmosphere with a common area for talking, cooking, and relaxing. For those needing more privacy, there are self-sufficient rooms available with their own kitchen and bathroom. An invaluable and surprisingly under-advertised aspect is the hospitality of the host. His approach to each guest is amazing. He organizes communal food events, morning mountain walks, visits to local restaurants and temples, and trips to public baths and onsens, including my favorite, the new, very relaxing, quite large onsen complex, Sauna Kukka, where you can spend the whole day healing your body and soul. Every day brings something different, even more interesting than the previous day. If you don’t have your own plans, it’s no problem, you can't get bored there. I spent 2.5 months in this place and am already planning my return next year. One of the best places to experience Japanese culture up close, from its local side. A very ZEN place. Vibes 10/10. Cheers!
