사카야 한지로

beautiful and welcoming inn

We enjoyed our stay in this picturesque, lesser known part of Japan. We were welcomed by Hanjiro, and even though our Japanese language skills are limited and likewise with his English, we communicated through his pocket translator and got to know one another. It was so wonderful to hear all about his love of music and see that many musicians had played at his house and stayed there. We enjoyed an impromptu jam session with Hanjiro and his friends as my son is also a musician. The accommodation is shared style, with your own private bedroom. It was meticulously clean and the futons were comfortable. We ended up feeling like old friends by the time we had to leave in the morning and we were sad to go. We would definitely make the trip out there to visit again.
