Monthly Rentals in Akaya Lake

Sayuri was one of the most helpful and outgoing hosts I've ever stayed with. For weeks leading up to the trip, she provided advice and recommendations and was always thorough and patient. The house is modern and clean with a great mix of comfortable memory foam beds as well as the option to sleep in the more Japanese style with mattes on the floor. Our kids loved the Japanese style while my wife and I enjoyed a more Western friendly mattress. The house is across the street from a bus station, grocery store, bicycle rental, coffee shops, and restaurants. everyone we encountered in town was warm and friendly. I look forward to returning to Minakami and this house.

Overall a very comfortable stay. The hot water supply wasn’t very good at the night we stayed and the owners agreed to fix it.

Nice and Cozy place. It’s good place for family and big group . It’s a beautiful surroundings and Outdoor BBQ was great during good weather. Zack is a nice guy. He is very helpful and supportive. He suggested us many activities and visiting places including restaurants.

I really liked this place. Set on a small river, this recently renovated house has 2 bedrooms upstairs and the lounge/dining , kitchen, bathroom downstairs. I slept in the lounge/ dining in a futon on the tatami floor - classic Japanese style. You could hear the river flowing outside. Very peaceful. You really need a car and if you are staying here. Though there is a bus stop 20 metres away, however buses stop in the late afternoon (my daughter got caught 3 kms away at 6pm when the buses finished). A very picturesque area, rural, surrounded by mountains. There aren’t any restaurants or supermarkets/convenience stores or even vending machines in easy walking distance. Though the restaurants may have been closed as I was there out of season. If you want a chill place to stay in the mountains (and you have a car) then this is your place.
