Fantastic hospitality, great location
The cottage is in a very walkable location. We visited in April with a family of 5 (2 kids, 2 parents, 1 grandparent). We opted to rent a car for our entire stay due to driving to Nasu. We easily walked around town, including visiting Shinkyo bridge and Toshogu Shrine by foot. While there isn’t parking at the home, there are 2 free lots 2 min away, so it was easy. Yoshiko-san welcomed us, provided breakfast items each day, and offered to do laundry since the washing machine has had recent issues. She washed and dried a load for us. One tricky thing is that the bedroom fits 3 single futons, plus we had 2 futons in the living room, where the table and sitting area would be. Thus, we had a small dining table and 4 chairs in a narrow space in the middle of the home. For a group of 2-3, it isn’t cramped. We managed just fine with 5, but if you’re used to larger spaces, it is tight for groups of 4-5. One surprising thing is that most of the restaurants in the area were closed Sun-Tues even when labeled as open on Google Maps. Don’t miss the cheesecake at Meiji no Yakata when in town. Yoshiko’s hospitality and kindness are unrivaled, and we would be delighted to stay at Fu-sha Cottage again, particularly for a couple’s trip.
