Reviewed Nov 24, 2025This house is absolutely perfect, stop searching and book this house. You will not regret it. This is the real Japanese home deal, the hosts were amazing. Detailed checking but never disturbed us during our stay. The owner has so much pride in his home and you can tell this home was built with love. Perfect for Children and family.
I wish we had stayed longer!!!!!

Reviewed May 1, 2025Kotorian is a wonderful holiday destination. It was a pleasure meeting you meet Ogawa san and his wonderful wife who made our stay extremely comfortable and memorable. We felt connected with the rich heritage of this 130 year old home and also felt part of Ogawa san’s family. Overall, it was a dreamy stay. Also, The Koi pond and garden which have been designed by Ogawa san will win your heart the moment you step into the property.
Since there is a lot of greenery around the house, there were several bugs and insects like spiders and roaches. This is unavoidable as the location of the property is as such but This did not stop us from having a lovely stay.

Reviewed Aug 23, 2024今回２回目の滞在でした。前回近くに用事がありたまたま見つけたお宿でしたが、絶対また来たいと思うぐらい気に入って、今回は特に用事もなく観光目的でもなくゆっくり滞在したくてリピートしました。タイムスリップしたような昔話に出てくるような昔の建物ですが、立派で、清潔感もあり、各部屋に庵主（管理人さん）の心遣いが感じられ、毎回到着時にあたたかくお出迎えしてくださり、今回は桃や葡萄や和菓子、冷たいおしぼりやお茶までご用意してくださってました。至る所に生花が飾れセンス良くお掃除もとても行き届いていて気持ちよく、お風呂が特に最高です。穴場としてあまり知られたくないぐらいです。またリピートします！

Reviewed Oct 10, 2023It's a very beautiful, big and clean house in Japanese style. Exactly was I was looking for! It looks better in reality, than on the photos. The owners are very nice! They even brought us lot's of fruits. I would like to come and stay there again! Thanks a lot!

Reviewed Jul 2, 2023We liked everything! A beautifully restored traditional Japanese house, even the smallest, simplest details had been attended to. Very clean, almost spotless. Managed by a lovely older couple, we couldn't have had a more wonderful stay. Plenty of room for a couple or even six people, which we intend to do in the future by bringing our sons & their wives on a future stay. Although there are no nearby restaurants within in walking distance, there is a 7-11 just five minutes away. Plenty of good, ready-to-meal options there (unlike in the US) or you can acquire the ingredients & make your own using their full kitchen which has all the necessary accruements.

Reviewed May 30, 2023The house itself is impeccably designed down to the smallest detail. It is both traditional and modern in its own unique way. It boasts a traditional Japanese garden that the owners could easily charge an entrance fee for. At the same time, it is a relaxed country idyll with lots of nature to explore, with chickens, fish and a wealth of natural wildlife. If you are after experiencing traditional Japanese home life, you'll struggle to find a better place (says my Japanese wife).
I have never had trouble to think of ways to improve a house. But with Kotorian, I am really struggling. The fridge can be a bit noisy, but that is nitpicking. It really is as close to a perfect vacation home as we have ever had.
