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!

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

We spent 17 days touring the northeastern Tohoku region. We were looking for a place to stay in Tono or Hanamaki, Iwate Prefecture, when we found B&B Kuranoya. B&B Kuranoya was located on the slopes of Mt. Takashimizu, about 2-3km northwest of Tono Station. As it is a B&B, dinner is not normally provided, but we were told that it can be prepared except during busy periods, so we chose a plan that included dinner. There is no alcohol served with meals, so we had to bring our own. We were told that Tono is the number one hop producing region in Japan, so local beer is popular, and that doburoku has been a favorite drink for a long time, so we went to a nearby roadside station to buy some and had it with dinner. As it was a B&B, the accommodation itself was small and simple, but the building was new and clean, and well-cleaned, so we had a very comfortable stay. We were told that we could see a beautiful sea of ​​clouds the next morning from the Takashimizu Observatory, which is about a 10-minute climb from the accommodation, so we climbed the narrow path to the observation deck early in the morning. A magnificent sea of ​​clouds awaited us from the observation deck.

Tono is a special place in Northern Japan, for its nature and culture. It’s not surprising that many legends originated here. The B@B Kuranoya is an ideal basis for exploring it and two nights were a bit short for all the points of interest. The B&B itself is great, we got a very large room of 12 tatamis, other are smaller, and meals were excellent. Our GPS plaid a bad trick, sending us a few hundred meters away after dark, we missed the B&B indications and the owner was very kind to come to our rescue. Warmly recommended.

So lovely to get out of the city and spend few days at this B&B. The premises are located on the edge of the city a little way up the mountain so the area is semi rural. To get there from town you pass rice paddies (currently in varying stages of the autumn harvest) and apple orchards (with some late fuji apples still on the trees). The premises were very quiet. Such a blessing to be somewhere with no noise or light pollution and no traffic passing by. Although a little out of town (about 3km from the railway station) the host very kindly collected us and drove us back to the station for arrival and departure. In between we hired electric bicycles and once again the host was extremely helpful, driving us into the rental place and arranging the bike hire which would have taken us much longer due to our lack of Japanese. He also arranged for us to have the bikes overnight (which is usually not done) and to park them at his premises. I am gluten free and the host was able to provide a gluten free Japanese breakfast and dinner every day we were there. For me this took away all my anxiety about where to eat, as it has not been easy finding gluten free food in Japan. The food was delicious and often more than I could manage in one sitting, however the host was happy for me to take leftovers and keep them in the fridge in our room. Highly recommend this place for anyone wanting gluten free food for breakfast or dinner and a place that is comfortable and quiet.
