We started our maiden trip to Japan with a 2-night stay in Furumaya House as those were the only available nights during our 2 weeks in Japan.  And what a treat that turned out to be!  

Sayaka and Nicolas are respectful, kind and hospitable hosts - they generously shared their home and life journeys with us and made us feel welcome m from the moment Sayaka picked us up at Ayabe station. 

Sayaka was a great chef and we had the most amazing breakfasts and dinners here.  The meals really set high standards for the other Japanese meals we had in Japan thereafter.  The sushi and onigiri made using “Nico-rice” was heavenly.  The kids had the chance to learn how to make tamago-yaki and sushi rice.  I love how Sayaka made use of fresh produce from their farm and the region for all the meals.  

We will love to return again some time soon.  My wife and two kids have so much fun in Furumaya House.  I still have to win a soccer match with Theo, their lovely son and we would have much to explore in the lovely region.   My daughter penned in the guest book that she “enjoyed every moment” of her stay and my son really loved the peaceful countryside.  

We will be back.  Till then, please take care, Sayaka, Nicolas and Theo.

Lovely countryside stay with great hosts and delicious food!

When my husband and I decided to go on a trip to Japan, I knew that I would want to spend some time in the countryside and get away from the big cities for a few days.  I learned about Furumaya from a friend who used to live in Japan.  I am so glad that we went, because staying at Furumaya House was my favorite part of our Japanese vacation.

Sayaka and Nicolas were so welcoming.  Before we arrived at the home, we attended a traditional tea ceremony with a tea master in town.  Then, we were able to spend the rest of the day relaxing while looking at the beautiful countryside.  

The dinner that Sayaka cooked was the best meal I ate in Japan.  Everything was fresh and local (almost all the produce from her farm!!).  It was absolutely delicious and I also loved the Japanese bath I took after dinner.

Breakfast the next morning was also fantastic.  I had the Western style breakfast and my husband had a traditional Japanese breakfast.  Both amazing.  I would recommend this trip to anyone!



Favorite Part of Japan

What a lovely stay at Furumaya!  It was a perfect stopover for two nights in the Kyoto countryside;  a perfect break from touring Tokyo and Kyoto.  

It's a beautiful location, and Sayaka and Nico could not be better hosts.  Sayaka is also an excellent chef, and the breakfasts and dinners were fantastic....both in taste and presentation.  To be honest, I would have paid twice as much just for the food!

Very highly recommended if you want to have an experience in the quiet Japanese countryside.

Lovely stay at Furumaya

Furumaya House was hands down the best part of our trip to Japan! Sayaka and Nicolas are wonderful hosts. Their home is clean and cozy, and they go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. I strongly recommend asking Sayaka for a Japanese cooking lesson. She's a fantastic teacher and an even better cook. Her food was some of the best we had in all of Japan. I also strongly recommend asking about the tea ceremony. Great learning experience and lots of fun. Can't wait until we can go back!

Beautiful stay with wonderful hosts and GREAT food!

Best part of our trip to Japan. The food was perfection. Everything is local and delicious. Order the french toast for breakfast. My 6yo's are telling everyone is was the best part of their whole trip. Sayaka and her family are so welcoming. We highly, highly recommend staying here. 

Best part of our trip

Sayaka and Nicolas are just a wonderful, friendly couple. They were welcoming and helpful. Great experience, great place. The meals were very special. 

This is all I have to say, so this last sentence is just filling up the illogical character requirement.

Lovely Rustic Homey

My husband and I enjoyed a perfect five nights at Furumaya as part of our honeymoon in Japan. After the hustle and bustle of touring Japanese cities, Furumaya was a peaceful place to relax and experience true Japanese country life. The surroundings are absolutely stunning. Although we didn't do many day trips, the four days passed surprisingly quickly simply enjoying the view, napping, writing in our journals, enjoying great food and drink, and visiting with our wonderful hosts. Sleeping with the open air and only the sound of frogs provided great rest compared to our everyday lives! Sayaka and Nicholas are the most warm, hospitable hosts and we really felt like a part of their family during our stay. 

We would definitely recommend booking the breakfast / dinner package, as Sayaka's homemade Japanese meals were some of the best we had on our trip. It was so special to eat rice and vegetables grown right on the property! My husband is a vegetarian and Sayaka was able to accommodate this no problem with non-meat meals that were creative and delicious. The house wine and draft beer was also wonderful. 

Although we rarely wanted to leave the guesthouse, the local onsen (public bath) was a favorite activity. Overall, a truly memorable travel experience!

"At Home" in the Japanese Countryside

Near the end of our trip we wanted a pause in the Japanese countryside. Even if there was the possibility to do plenty, we stayed peacefully at Furumaya, and enjoyed its beautiful surroundings. The place is authentic and we could discover what it is like to live in the countryside. We also met a wonderful family who took very good care of us. The food was truly beautiful and excellent: Sayaka is a great cook.
We stayed mainly at the house enjoying its peace but  had a tea ceremony with a nearby master of tea: that was also en encounter and an unforgettable experience. We would recommend without reserve to stay at Furumaya. We stayed there three nights but would have enjoyed it longer. Thank you Sayaka, Nicolas and Theo.

A Life experience 

Beautiful people, wonderful place, great service and excellent food! The owners Sayaka and Nicolas are just great hosts! We've really enjoyed our stay there. It's place to see if you go to Kyoto préfecture!
J'adore ❤

Wonderful place to stay

Sayaka and Nicolas are very nice, open, interesting and interested and above all so welcoming. I have never met anything like this.Their old house is beautiful restored, the views are splendid and pacific, the meals are overwelming in looks and in taste. We will certainly love to come back, it’s the Japanese countryside at its best.

The most perfect stay in all senses
