So lovely to get out of the city and spend few days at this B&B. The premises are located on the edge of the city a little way up the mountain so the area is semi rural. To get there from town you pass rice paddies (currently in varying stages of the autumn harvest) and apple orchards (with some late fuji apples still on the trees). The premises were very quiet. Such a blessing to be somewhere with no noise or light pollution and no traffic passing by. Although a little out of town (about 3km from the railway station) the host very kindly collected us and drove us back to the station for arrival and departure. In between we hired electric bicycles and once again the host was extremely helpful, driving us into the rental place and arranging the bike hire which would have taken us much longer due to our lack of Japanese. He also arranged for us to have the bikes overnight (which is usually not done) and to park them at his premises. I am gluten free and the host was able to provide a gluten free Japanese breakfast and dinner every day we were there. For me this took away all my anxiety about where to eat, as it has not been easy finding gluten free food in Japan. The food was delicious and often more than I could manage in one sitting, however the host was happy for me to take leftovers and keep them in the fridge in our room. Highly recommend this place for anyone wanting gluten free food for breakfast or dinner and a place that is comfortable and quiet.
