Top Hotels Near Residence of Watanabe Family in Sekikawa from AU$233

"As returning guest here, every time I have to give it a five stars!! The service started already way early than check In, arrange dinner time, special requests; on the day of arrival it seems every person at reception knows about your preference, good cookie in the lobby and guiding to the room is also kind and helpful; snacks besides hot spring; dinner is highlight, well prepared and perfect presentation! Feel the warm heart of the chef and taste of great local food and rice! The waitress at restaurant is at top class every time I visited, last year celebrated my father‘s birthday and this year with others. Breakfast full of selection. What a memorable experience! We also meet the owner of the hotel, daughter of the founder, she just sits behind a small desk in the lobby, greeting guests and I hope I can be also as energetic as her when I am at her age! "

"Words cannot convey how beautiful both Murakami and the family who own this apartment are!!! Communication before arrival was prompt and Taiko even dropped any plans to pick me up at the local station saving me money on further transport. Over the 2 week period i stayed here this family made sure i was fed and clothes were cleaned, inviting friends and family around for both food and Karaoke has been hospitality i never knew was possible. Please dont hesitate to stay here and when here if you have the time, try to get to know Taiko the apartment owner. I did and will never regret it!!! I am now on a Youtube video walking the mountains and learning to forage for organic vegetables. In all honesty when it was time to leave i couldnt help but shed a tear or two, this family have truly welcomed me with open arms which in turn opened my heart to them. Simply outstanding people"
