Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Ayabe

Ima-ya is located near the rice fields where the owners grow rice. Beyond the rice fields is a forest in which there is a Fox temple which the owner Tutsuji took us to on a walk around in the afternoon.There were many birds who are encouraged by the rice farmers as they help keep pests away. This is a quiet place close to nature with good food and a traditional style of Japanese house. It was an authentic experience of Japanese rural life. The hosts Nom and Tatsuji are very friendly and accommodating.

Twinkle Villa is truly a gem. Getting to spend many days in this lovely, lovely house in the charming rural environment was pure joy and adventure for a city dweller like me. Even cycling to the supermarket was so much fun :) The house has everything you'd need: spacious rooms, well-equipped kitchen; living area with fire-place, and gardens - with incredible view of the trees, farmland and mountains. There are very good restaurants nearby with unique offerings. The hosts are kind, very responsive and extremely accommodating. Thank you!
