Wonderful friendly lady runs this edge of town pension...so very welcoming....her smile tells you everything..comfortable room and surrounded by countryside so peaceful. ...I had 4 nights here and loved it.
It was bad experience. On the booking, I have indicated for 3 beds. However, she requested for extra charge when we check in. Tried to explain to host, but she refused to listen. Simple room, shower facilities is at level 1 and hot water stops at 10.30pm. Do note in case of late check in.
Room is away from town, so need to have a car to drive in. It is easy to go to blue pond from guesthouse.
The host is nice, kind and friendly. Their hired helpers to commnucate with the guest in mandrin. Also the place is easy to reach with the taxi in 5 minjtes from Biei Stn. And the owner can help to call the taxi one day in advance to pick you up.
Wonderful pension in the outskirts of Biei town. Host family welcoming and kind, and provided authentic and great Japanese home cooking made from homegrown and local ingredients. Highly recommended! The only downside is the distance from the station.
