"The staff were extremely unhelpful and seemed unwilling to provide even basic information. The room was very dirty, and the carpet was absolutely filthy. We have been travelling all around Japan, staying at several different hotels, and this has been by far the worst experience we have had. Not only was the room unacceptable, but the level of customer service was also extremely disappointing. I would not recommend this hotel."

This property was absolutely epic. Extremely fast communication, gorgeous house and delicious dinner coordinated during a time when most things are shut. Mari and her team were so great. We regretted we didn't have more than one night to enjoy this picturesque village and perfect house. It surpassed all expectations. My group was 6 family members and we stayed at 8 different places all over Japan for a two week adventure and all 6 agreed this property ranked #1 of all. Can't wait to return and...

Miro Fushimiinari Tei South

Fushimi Ward

10/10 Excellent

My only complaints is the WiFi was extremely unreliable and would constantly cut off, and I wish there was a way to cover the sunlight from entering the bedroom in the morning. Other than that, I did love everything else about it and do recommend it. it's a whole house basically, definitely oversized for what I needed but no complaints there. Cold ac, too cold. Other than the wifi everything was great.
