Have the chance to experience the local the guest house culture in Mima was fantastic. If you enjoy nature, quiet and peaceful environments that's the perfect place! The boys are also so sweet! Michiyo-san cooks delicious and tradicional food. It's also an incredible opportunity to learn an practice the guest house. The community in Mima is really kind and friendly. I love it and definitely want to visit them in the future.

It was a very enriching experience! Michiyo san is an amazing host and housekeeper. Yoshiho san was in a work trip most of my stay so unfortunately I didn't get to interact much with him. Michiyo san went up and above for me. With her little actions I could tell she was making her best to make me feel comfortable and making sure I enjoyed my stay. Foods were delicious, sometimes simple but always enough. And I had plenty of time to chill and explore. The people from the town are also very friendly. I would do it again!

I had a wonderful time in Mima. During my short stay there was an art festival to get a glimpse of the guest house culture with Kyogen theater, traditional dances and Hanabi :) Yoshiho-san and Michiyo-san are very welcoming and Michiyo-san is a great cook. I hope to come back for sakura ! ありがとう

I had a very nice experience, I really enjoyed being able to immerse myself in the guest house culture. The people of the city were very warm and always looked for a way to help you. The house is very nice, I loved the area and the family is excellent, the children are very loving and always in a good mood. I highly recommend doing this experience if you want to learn more about their culture and eat the delicious food of Michiyo.
