Okumakuharitei — Hotel in Chiba

I came to Makuhari for a few days and I ended up living at this guesthouse and all I can say it's a hidden gem. At first sight, the outside seemed to be bit worn-out due to the age of it and also some recent weather activities, however, the inside is nice, cosy and clean. The rooms are traditional Japanese and offer enough space for basic activities. The bath with its bathtub was a nice extra - I recommend a hot bath. The rest of the house (kitchen, bath and toilet) are narrow but functional. On the other side, I am 6'6" (200cm) tall, so basically everything seems a bit small for me. The garden is great and gives the chance to have a little party, bbq or relaxing time with friends or fellow guests.

The interesting thing about the house is the location. It appears a bit off the grid, however, once I was living there I realized how much I appreciated the spot. It's relaxing and quiet and offers a nice contrast to Japan's usual buzz. However, it's just a 5-10 minute walk to Makuhari Station and all the shops and restaurants around. The Makuhari Messe is not much further away, which is nice when you are here for business purposes and Disneyland is also not far away, which makes the guest house a perfect fit for families.

The best point about the house is the lovely family that made my stay special. They took great care of me and tried to help me whenever I had a question or when I needed something. The three kids are amazing and well-behaved and I never felt disturbed by the family's activities. We had a bbq once with the family and friends and I felt like a real part of it. It was a great and authentic experience. I also learned about the future plans for the house, especially the garden and I am more than excited! Future guest will have a fantastic time here.

I recommend this place highly to people that want to meet a lovely and interesting and also maybe a bit unusual (in a good way) Japanese family. However, if you are just looking for a quiet place to stay, this house will be also more than...

大晦日からお正月の２日間、友人達と８人で宿泊させていただきました。 前回は夏に利用させて頂いたのですが、今回ものびのび楽しく過ごすことができました！

今回も予約段階からLINEにてチェックインに関する説明やBBQの設営など、細かくケアして下さりとても有り難かったです。 こちらの予定に合わせて親切に対応して下さるので本当に頭が上がりません🙇‍♀️

食器道具は豊富に揃っているので、今回も基本的に食材だけ自分らで調達してBBQに臨みました。 そして前回も嬉しかった手作りパンもご用意くださり、ちょうど良くBBQ時に焼き上がったのでみんなで頂きました！ まさに実家に戻ったような温かみを感じましたね...✨️

そして古民家だからと侮ることなかれ、暖房設備がしっかりしているので夜でも寒さに震えて眠るなんて事はありませんでした。 こたつや大きくてふわふわ暖かいポンチョもご用意下さっていたので嬉しかったです。

朝方はお宿から歩いて５分程度の場所で初日の出を見ることもできましたし、その後みんなでお雑煮を作ってのんびり過ごせました。

今回もスタッフの皆様の隅々まで行き届いたお心遣いに感激しっぱなしで...本当にお世話になりました！🙇‍♀️ メンバーの中には今回が初めての宿泊だったメンツも居たのですが、皆口を揃えてまた行きたいと言っています。 我々のように大人数でのびのび過ごしたい方にはオススメのお宿ですのでぜひ！！！！ 本当にありがとうございました！ぜひま...
