Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Yabu

Our stay at Tayooka was at the English style double-story house. It was an elegant and well-kept house with 3 fully-equiped studios on the ground floow. We had our pick of the three and chose what suited our needs - a place to cook and chill with separated quarters for sleep and chill/dine. The design was the traditional Japanese style with modern luxuries that allowed us to make good meals with all the kitchen provisions. Attention to details was very evident. All that we could possibly need was provided for. There was an onsen pool down the corridor, and it was well-supplied with alll the luxuries needed for a good soak and laundry if we so need. We had a great time recuperating from our drives, hikes and photo-trips around the region. In the morning we had the luxury of making drip coffee with the beans roasted by our hosts. Delicious coffee indeed. Sipping it on the balcony watching the four terries of the owners at play in the garden below.

The hostess lady is from Taiwan and speaks Japanese and Mandarin, so that was very helpful for us. She was also very helpful providing information on the castle ruin and local attractions and restaurants. When we asked her if there was any place we could rent bikes to ride along the river, she offered her own bikes to us. We really loved staying here in Takeda. It's quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Everything we wanted in a small Japanese town experience.

Fresh facilities the living area is very spacious and the outside dinning area is very cozy. Located just 3 minutes drive to the Ritsuunkyou lookout to see Sky Castle (Takeda Castle Ruins).
