Wonderful B&B! Owner was very kind and helpful, and spoke good English as well. Room was very large and very pretty with tatami mats, shoji screens, and very clean . The entire place was very cozy and comfortable, and facilities seemed very new. Japanese breakfast was very good. It is a bit of a distance from the train station up a steep hill (did not bother us as we had our own transportation on a bike trip anyway) but in a beautiful quiet neighborhood — it would be well worth the taxi ride or walk from the train station to stay here! Highly recommend!

Not only did we love our stay at Kuranoya, but Tono is such a beautiful town. The food here was so amazing, probably the best we had in our whole trip (and one of us was vegetarian, which they were super kindly able to accomodate)!! The owner was super helpful giving recommendations based on what we wanted to do and the place was do tidy and cozy! I can't say enough nice things about this place, but if you are visiting Iwate this is a must stay :)

A wonderful place to stay in the lovely town of Tono! Firstly we are so grateful that the owner helped us arrange a rental car with a rental company (and even drove us there to pick it up). We also opted for dinner at Kuranoya, and that was the best decision ever, with delicious local produce presented in a home cooked meal, honestly they are too modest about how wonderful it is. The room was also huge and the location totally quiet and serene. At night we even played the guitar with the owner and sang some songs, honestly these are the kind of experiences I'll remember from my trip to Japan :)

Everything was excellent here. Starting with the host who speaks excellent English, and was so friendly and helpful with everything. Then, we had a large and comfortable tatami room (with shower), and there were even soft pillows on request :) . As we said we were not used to Japanese style breakfast, we were given a slightly lighter version - beautifully presented and delicious. The whole place felt calm and peaceful. In short, a great experience :)

B&B Kuranoya is the most friendly and comfortable stay we had in Japan. The hosts speak perfect english, so communication is easy for foreigners. Thanks to the comfortable futon we also had no problem sleeping in tatami rooms for the first time. And do not get me started on the food! It felt like genuine home cooked food. Breakfast and & supper were always delishious and we looked forward to every meal. The location is a bit outside of Tōno, however if you rent a bike at the tourist information (which the hosts are glad to assist with) acess is easy (get an electricly assisted bike though if you dont want to push the last few meters :D).

Kuramoto-san is the best B&B host in Japan! As first-timers in Tono area, coming from Norway, we were grateful for smooth communication and arrangements and all the help and advice from the owner, Mr. Kuramoto, before and during our stay. We also got gluten-free meals for breakfast and dinner, which we enjoyed immensely. The meals were delicious, and beautifully arranged. We spent 4 nights in a large tatami-room which was nice and spacious, very peaceful, clean and tidy, with excellent wifi, and we did not want to leave. Mr. Kuramoto actually assigned us a larger room than we had booked, and he also helped us with pick-up and drop off in local area, which made it possible for us to participate in traditional crafts-workshop in Tono, which is a dream come true. The scenery around the B&B is very peaceful, and we really enjoyed our stay. We definitely recommend B&B Kuranoya to all new visitors!

Just fantastic. Base of operations for your stay. Because you will receive assistance in planning your daily activities. There is parking. Or if you need pick up and drop off in local area Toshihiro will be happy to help. Bicycle hire is my recommendation and start with the local museum (audio/video guide in multiple languages) and folklore museum (some English translation via QR code). The 12 tatami room was fine and could sleep 4 if needed - urn,private shower and toilet, fridge, safe, excellent wifi. You will probably be using Google map and most locations have useful reviews. Three or four nights to see everything or two nights for highlights. The tourist info next to the station rents the bikes (love the e-bikes) and you may be able to get a copy of the english translation of Tono monogatari 1100 yen (I had been looking for 6 months - Amazon wanted 5 times that price. Everyone in the town was super helpful. Our preferred coffee shop was Yaochu. And Kuranoya will do gluten free - breakfast (and dinner on request). You need to come to Tono and you need to stay at Kuranoya.

Una rilassante sistemazione in campagna. Camera tradizionale ben arredata e pulitissima e Colazione tipica estremamente curata e gustosa. I proprietari Toshihiro e Yuko sono accoglienti e disponibilissimi per gli spostamenti di cui c'è bisogno. Abbiamo avuto la necessità di contattare una struttura medica e ci hanno supportato al massimo nell'organizzazione. Un indirizzo super consigliato.

Nous avons passé deux nuits dans ce B&B au cours d'un voyage de 2 semaines dans le nord de Honshu (Tohoku). C'est certainement notre meilleur escale et d'un rapport qualité/prix excellent, meilleur que tous les autres B&B visités. Une note particulière pour le petit déjeuner traditionnel, d'une grande finesse et très varié d'un jour sur l'autre. Un vrai coup de cœur ! Vincent et Brigitte. France
