Reviews
Just beat. This house is roomy warm and beautifully decorated with the owners artwork. Coffee provided.
If I could give this place 6/5 stars, I would! The place was so clean, spacious and has a unique aesthetic to it with handmade ceramics. Bath was really nice after a long day and the bed was really comfortable too. Ion was really responsive and offered great local recommendations. If we are ever in Tajimi again, we will be sure to visit again!!! – Couple from Melbourne, Australia.
I stayed at Kintsugi House for four days and had an amazing time and stay there! It was the best valued Airbnb I’ve stayed at in Japan, with amazing space both downstairs and upstairs with a beautifully set out lounge and kitchen, and two large bedrooms upstairs. The decor was beautiful, with amazing ceramics from local artists on display and attention to detail in all the furnishings. The location was perfect for exploring Tajimi, including amazing restaurants and shops close by as well as access to the local station and Nagoya. The host Ion gave great local recommendations and was super responsive when we had questions. Ion took us on a tour, drove us to a local gallery, visited an artists studio and provided local advice in buying ceramics. We would definitely book here again in Tajimi and staying at Kintsugi House just added to the overall experience!
