Monthly Rentals in Otaki, Kiso District

Anju’s place was a major highlight of our 3 week Japan trip. We stayed for one night while hiking the Nakasendo and it was one of the most welcoming, lovely experiences we’ve ever had. Anju was so communicative and responsive, and she helped us out a lot when we had to check in later than expected. The home is so beautiful and your bedroom window overlooks an exquisitely beautiful bridge and mountains. Also her mother has an incredible restaurant and the family runs a beautiful cafe, all very close-by. I only wish we had more time there so we will 1000% be coming back on our next trip to Japan.

We did have a great stay here. The location is ideal for the Nakasendo walk. We had ideal day for walking through villages from Magome to Nagiso among blooming cherry trees and through cedar forests. Narai town was also wonderful for a day trip. What an atmospheric place. So great access to these places. That said, the accommodation was rustic and charming. But, as it was early April, the heating was not quite adequate in evenings and mornings. Also, though there were stools in the dining area, you will need to be happy to sit on the floor as there is only one bean bag chair. Beyond that, kitchen facilities were fine and shower was great. The host was really fantastic and helped us immensely when my friend lost his credit card. So, all in all, a great stay, but be prepared for a bit rustic and maybe a bit cold if it’s early or late in the season.

Beautiful spot and lovely house. Would stay again.

We had a truly wonderful stay at this amazing Airbnb. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful. The house itself was spotlessly clean, beautifully designed and felt spacious and homey for our party of 6, which included three adults and 3 children. The children had ample room to play both inside and outside. The house was fully stocked with kitchenware, toys, towels and laundry soap. Highly recommend.
