the utterly beautifulest guest house i've stayed in in all of japan and probably the world.
the group who runs it also actively is reviving other (formerly) abandoned buildings, and creating extremely tasteful local workshops, cafés, galleries etc. in their place. there is a heavy focus on art and creativity, with a pleasant balance of old and new. retro vibes are strong however! so is the human touch.
breakfast at the similarly tasteful (Akubi) café is also super cheap and tasty
