Your accommodation is located in the tranquil town of Kosaka. Typical for traditional Japanese houses, there are so-called “washitsu” rooms, i.e. rooms with tatami mats as flooring and the so-called futon, instead of a Western-style bed. Depending on availability, you can choose between a Japanese or Western-style room.
