Most important matters - Please be sure to read -

You need a "key box code" to enter the room

You can not enter the room without knowing the "key box code".
(The security code of the key box is not listed on this page.)
Please note that you can not enter the room just by knowing the address.

The "key box code" will be notified after the procedure of "fill in the Registration Form".
Other than that, it can not be obtained.
Please note that we can not answer about the code for security reasons even if you make an inquiry by phone or email.

Please be sure to complete the Registration Form before check-in

Japanese law (Article 6 of the Inn Business Law) requires the recording and preservation of guest lists.
It is similar procedure to the check-in procedure at the front desk of the hotel, and is carried out at any private lodging, too.
You will not be able to stay until you have registered all guests. We do not accept refunds.
This is not our own judgment. We are instructed as such by the administration.
Especially for foreign guests (except those living in Japan), when we asked for a passport, if they refuse it, we have a duty to tell the police about that.

At our shop, we do it on the WEB in advance and devise so that you can check in smoothly on the day.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but thank you for your cooperation.

We need the following information of all guests.
●Name
●Nationality
●Address
●Job
●Passport number
●Upload a photo of your passport

※The key box number will be displayed on the completion screen after registration.
It is also indicated in the "confirmation email" returned after registration is completed.



Important!
If the representative (applicant) and the person actually staying are different, or if you cannot meet other members until the day, please send the above URL for registration to group members, and then register each one separately.
If you are a representative, please be prepared to register information for all group members responsibly before check-in

About the correct address and route

The correct address may not be listed on the facility introduction page.
Since the guest house is a "personal house", for reasons of personal information protection and crime prevention, the branch number of the address may not be written or the map may be out of position.
For detailed address and access to transportation, please check the URL below.

Important!
In the case of a hotel, you can usually go to it if you know the address, however, Guest House is in most cases, a room in a general condominium or an ordinary house in a residential area.
There are various features such as the road facing the building is a one-way street, the front entrance is the entrance to other stores, and the correct entrance is behind.
if you accidentally break into an unrelated house or store, you may be caught by the police for trespassing.(It's a different story to my house, but it's a true story.)
When using a guest house, be sure to check not only the address but also the directions, entrance location, and entry method.

When booking, please be careful not to make a mistake in the number of people



Children over 2 years old are charged the same as 1 adult.
Please report the number of children correctly.
For children under 2 years old, please send us an email with a photo of your ID that shows your date of birth.

If excess is found after check-in, additional fee will be charged for the extra person x number of nights x double
If you make a mistake or change the number of applicants, please contact us immediately.

We charge a cleaning fee

In addition to the accommodation fee, our shop will charge a cleaning fee of regardless of the number of guests and the number of nights.
If you stay with a large number of people for consecutive nights, you can keep costs down.

The number of intermediary sites that handle private lodging, such as Airbnb and Rakuten Vacation Stay, has increased, but please check carefully as the cleaning fee description method and payment method may differ depending on the site system.

Not limited to our shop, there are many cases where a separate cleaning fee is charged for "Guest House", so be sure to check before making a reservation.

POINT!
Cleaning costs alone cannot be judged. Self-catering is a big cost cut!
If you have a small group of people and you only stay for one night without cooking, the hotel may be cheaper.
However, the strength of the guest house is that you can use the kitchen.
For example, when you want to enjoy crab pot in Hokkaido. If you buy crabs at the market and make your own hot pot, it can be cost cut of thousands of yen to tens of thousands of yen depending on the number of people.
The driver can enjoy alcohol and don't worry about the last order time.

Please confirmation of email reception settings

Once your reservation is made, we will send you more detailed information and a notification email required for your stay.
Be careful with the settings so that emails are not considered spam.
The email contains very important information, so please read it carefully.
If you do not receive an email or have questions about the content, please contact us before check-in.

In particular, there are a lot of cases "We were able to receive at home PC, but noticed later that we could not receive with smartphone and tablet."
Please check in advance whether you can receive emails with your smartphone etc.

Even if you can receive email on your home PC ...


There is a case in which you notice later that can not receive it by smartphone.
Important!!
Be sure to share information with all members!!
If the actual guest is different from the representative (or applicant), sometimes, there is a case that the your representative do not send a email of us to other members. In that case, other members have not even been informed of basic information such as "address or room entry method".
We also have a life, and we can not respond immediately 24 hours.
There is even the possibility that you can not go into the house all night long, for example, if you arrive late in the middle of the night.
If you are a representative, please be sure to give information to all group members.

Please check if the information is for a hotel you reserved.



We manage multiple guest houses.
In very rare cases, due to system glitches, etc., we may accidentally send you a private lodging information email that is different from the one you planned to stay.(In some cases, such as two rooms in the same apartment, the contents are similar and it is easy to get confused.)
Since it is operated by an individual, it is not possible to use a strict system like a hotel or check many times with a large number of people. Mistakes can inevitably occur.
(We are doing our best, but we tend to be understaffed in order to keep accommodation costs down. I think it's the same with any guest house.)
If you think something is strange, please be sure to contact us and ask questions.
The understanding and cooperation of the guest is essential for private lodging.
