Vacation rentals in Arida District

A perfect stay. A real human experience made of kindness and sharing while generosity. Fumi and Toshi are amazing, welcoming, caring, and thoughtful hosts. We felt like we were visiting family. Their house is as described, very comfortable and cozy. Fumi's breakfast was delicious. We would be very happy to be able to come back. I recommend 110%.

Beautiful well preserved Japanese traditional house. Spacious and homey as described. There is a nice and quiet courtyard as well. Really love the citrus there. A convenient store is just within walking distance. Staying here is enjoyful and relaxing. Our host is always responsive and provided almost all amenities we need during the stay. Hope we would have a chance to stay here next time. Tips for height more than 175cm people, you should be careful about the beams over your head.

The stay was great, and junpei is an amazing host. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a place to stay near kumano kodo.

It was a very quiet place and I had a good time.

We only stayed for one night and we all wished we could stay longer! Tone and her whole family were so welcoming, and their cabin is so nicely designed with lots of great details. The setting is beautiful and quiet and waking up to the view of the trees was amazing. The breakfast was also a nice spread and the fridge was stocked with sauces and seasonings as well as good local drinks at a nice price. Would love to go back!

Six of us spent two unforgettable nights at Doratei in Ryujinmura, Japan — a beautifully renovated traditional house that seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern comfort. The open-concept, fully functional kitchen turned meal prep into a lively, social affair — moving from stove to table was effortless, making every meal a shared experience. The bucolic surroundings were a dream to explore at our own pace — winding trails, lush greenery, suspension bridges and the warmest locals. The mix of tatami mats, shoji screens, and sleek modern touches created a cozy yet stylish vibe. A special highlight was meeting Lee, an awesome storyteller who introduced us to his farm family — the goats, ducks, and chickens were an absolute delight! 🐔🦆🐐 If you’re looking to discover the quieter, more authentic side of Japan, do take the road less travelled to stay here 😌

I stumbled upon Koyasan as a destination for nature lovers, and couldn't be happier with my stay at Ryochi's tiny house! He is all the reason to trust a local over a chain hotel when visiting a place like Koyasan - rich with history, stories, and charm, where local recommendations really made the trip much more exciting. Ryochi was super responsive and proactive as a host, providing detailed recommendations on transportation options and things to do even before we arrived for our 2 night stay. He offered to pick us up at Koyasan station and ended up dropping us off even though we didn't expect him to do so. He really went above and beyond!! Upon check-in, he showed us the area with a map that contains useful annotations. We chose to hike the 2 famous trails, try out a local izakaya, and explore the temples - all activities that we roughly planned but were made 10x better with Ryochi's insights. 100% would stay again, and Ryochi will be one of the best hosts you'll meet.

I rarely get the chance to spend time with friends due to my busy work schedule. This time, my friends and I decided to spend a peaceful night together, and we found this place on Airbnb. To put it simply, everything we needed and expected for a group trip was there. The listing had detailed information, clear and realistic photos, and the host was incredibly responsive and cooperative. Everything was perfect!

It was very clean, the host was polite, and we had a pleasant time. We apologize for the inconvenience when checking out, but thank you for your kindness.
