"Pros: The most amazing location - it's in the middle of the woods and next to a river - the location is simply amazing! Wish we stayed there longer.
The smell of the pine trees, the forest and the river is probably the highlight of the stay.
The location is very peaceful and you can see the stars properly if you go for a night walk.
Well equipped - small kitchen with all you need for cooking, fridge, TV.
Short drive to Tairyuji Ropeway
Cons: The host provided the wrong code to the key locker box, it took us 2 hours of trying and messaging the owners before we could open the door. We were tired when we arrived and frustrated when we couldn't open the unit. Because there was no reception at the location we had to drive back to find a cellular signal to exchange messages. The owner didn't reply quickly which added to the frustration. 2 hours later we finally got the right code and managed to get in. This was the only major downside of our stay, otherwise it was amazing.
Minor things to keep in mind, but not real deterrents
- no WiFi and no Cell coverage in the area
- no convenience or grocery stores nearby" ~Max
