Holiday rentals in Hyuga

The host was very kind, kind, and very accommodating to our wishes. The house was also very clean, very quiet outside, greenery, and a peaceful view. We had a barbecue with our friends this time, but we had a very elegant time without worrying about the eyes of the people. We'd love to stay again if we get the chance.

We travelled as a group of five (one couple and one family of 3), and Shinya’s place was perfect with two self-contained units. The grounds were peaceful and beautiful in Autumn, and his mother’s sponge cake was a wonderful breakfast. He gave us local recommendations of places to visit and restaurants to try. The kitchen is also well equipped for eating in. We had a very restful and enjoyable time there.

This is a fabulous luxury stay. The space has been outfitted with the highest attention to detail. The experience is marvellous - Victoria can take you on a tour of the temple and give a bit of her husband’s family history. It was a little tricky to find initially (buy putting the temple in as the destination put us on the right track) and Victoria was in constant communication. It is within very close proximity to the Takachiho Gorge and a wealth of natural beauty. If you just want to chill the area is rural and very peaceful. We had the first night to ourselves and then shared with a very respectful group from Taiwan. Can thoroughly recommend.

Wow! This was a fantastic stay! Thin-san was an incredible host. The house was perfectly prepared for our family, even down to the bed linens and pajamas for my three kids! The fridge and pantry was well stocked for us - oh my goodness, the strawberries were delightful and the eggs and bacon for breakfast was perfect. It was lovely to have to not think about getting groceries. Thin-san shared very clear and proactive directions and instructions about the property which was very helpful. Thin-san said upon booking that most people always wish they stayed longer, and I can totally see why - this place is a gem! Thank you for a WONDERFUL stay!!!! We can't wait to be back!

Such a beautiful spot, the rooftop made it feel like we were staying in a treehouse. Fully equipped kitchen was a plus too. Kaori (Isao's daughter) was a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend and would stay again if ever in the area

We were greeted by the hosts upon arrival, and they thoroughly explained to us all of the amenities. We decided to go for the BBQ rental service for 3600 JPY (2 ppl); the host sets up the charcoal grill for you at the desired time, and his wife can help wash the vegetables if needed. They also offer breakfast, but we decided to opt out. The shower had ample hot water, albeit a few bugs (to be expected from an outdoor shower) We ended up having a great time eating Miyazaki wagyu purchased at a butcher recommended by the host :) The bedding was also quite cozy even if they weren’t actual beds. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking to do a pit stop in Yamato, especially if you’re on the road to Mount Aso / Takachiho afterwards.

This is the second time I have stayed at this Airbnb. Masahide-san is an excellent host. He is friendly and helpful. The location is peaceful with good access to Aso and the surrounding area. One of the most wonderful places I have seen in Japan.

Good place to enjoy Japan countryside
