Only one group of guests per night, private use of whole annex of an old traditional Japanese house

Good morning to the World and Kanmon!

After getting experience of hosting people for more than 4 years, it seems that I got an ability to know whether the accommodation has good quality or not before I actually visit there, no matter how expensive the fee is or how good the profile photos on guidebook or homepage are.

My own criteria of hosting quality is same as the criteria of food quality of restaurant. It’s so natural that expensive food is good that I have no interest in such restaurant. I do want to stay in the place of low price but too good

As the result, I got a conclusion to stay in my car overnight and I like it. Because I got expected quality of stay every time with lowest price. And I can have the precious opportunity to stay in the superb view. It can be never experienced even in quality hotels.

However, I had stayed in one accommodation after long time.

The host takes only one group of guests per night. Their guest room is a whole annex of an old traditional Japanese house.

Their hospitality was wonderful and I enjoyed relax stay there. On the last day, I had talked a lot with the host about hosting in such hard time with COVID-19 pandemic and it was so fun that we almost forgot the time of check-out.

I did recognize that the good hosts know what is more fun to host people than getting money from them.

Thank you and you have a nice day with understanding the difference.

一日一組限定、古民家離れ貸し切り

世界中に朝が、そして関門にもあさが来ました。
おはようございます。

4年近く宿屋を運営していていると、他の宿泊施設についても、宿泊料金の高い低いや、施設画像の綺麗か否かとは別に、泊まる前から施設・サービス説明の中にもない「おもてなしのクオリティ」が分かってきます。

自分にとって、宿の良し悪しは食べ物屋の良し悪しと同じで、「高くて旨い」は当たり前で興味がなく、「安くてもすごく美味しい」ところにこそ泊まりたいというのが信念です。

というわけで、行き着いたのが車中泊。ここ数年気に入っています。望み通りの宿泊クオリティが得られるだけではなく、絶景のど真ん中に好きなだけ滞在できるのは、ちょっとした宿に泊まっても得ることのない大きなメリットです。

そんな宿主が、久しぶりに他の宿に泊まりました。

ホストのおもてなしも素晴らしくて、ゆったり過ごした上に、宿の眼前に拡がる畑の中で、チェックアウト時間を過ぎてしまうほど熱くコロナ禍の情報交換してしまいました。

そんな会話を通して、得てして良いホストは他人(ヒト)を泊めることに金銭以上のメリットがあることが分かっているんだなぁと再認識しました。

それでは、違いのわかる素敵な一日を!
