I had a really great time! とてもよかったです!
This is a farmstay at a lovely countryside place run by the host Yu-san (and her grandmother and their dog Hachi). The place is quiet, spacious, and very comfortable. I enjoyed trying out garlic planting, and Yu's grandma very kindly drove me around on her mini truck to explain everything. Their command of English is somewhat limited (it helps to know a little Japanese), but they try their best; with the help of translation apps, gestures, and smiles all around, I don't think there will be any problems. The meals were delicious, including the kiritanpo we made together!
We arrived at the end of the afternoon (by car) and were greeted by the very hospitable and friendly hosts, and shown our lovely and very clean room. They cooked us a great (vegan) dinner, and after a good nights rest again a nice (also vegan) breakfast. This is a very good stop to consider when traveling to for example Kakunodate and around Lake Tazawa, and gives a great insight in life at a farm.
A special recommendation for using this site as I use many for traveling all over the world: the people behind Stay Japan extremely efficient, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
Dear Julia, thank you very very much for choosing this farm inn and the special recommendation.
We both very appreciate it. We hope you had a great time during your trip around Japan, and look forward to hearing back from you or your friends.
