Shokudō Minshuku Satoyama

Western Honshū


Satoyama has a spectacular countryside setting. The Japanese-style rooms have mountain views and strong wi-fi, though neglected shared bathrooms. The English-speaking owner cooks decent meals and there is a free-use clothes washer. The mountain-hugging road to Satoyama is flat and easy on a bike; it's walkable, but unlit at night. Look for the white house, blue noren and red banners.
