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！

We 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.

男女主人超友善的，還送了一盤草莓和和果子給我們享用，帶我們參觀房子。kotorian也太美了，每一個角落都適合拍照，基本上不出去玩，即便一陣天留在家裡也沒關係，因為裡面有一些日本傳統小遊戲，還有棋盤，泡一杯茶坐在走廊望著庭院。真是小橋流水人家啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊

本当は教えたくない明日香村の古民家のお宿

友人との4人旅で2泊しました。写真で見る以上に素敵なお宿でチェックアウトの日が名残り惜しく思いました。古民家の雰囲気はとてもいい感じで、囲炉裏端での食事も良かったです。スーパーが近くにあり食材の調達も問題ありません。一日の滞在ではもったいないので数日の宿泊をお勧めします。とてもよいお宿でした。
