Atelier Bee's Knees Bed & Breakfast

Experonec incroyable, le lieu est vraiment magique et traditionnel, il y a de l'art partout et les repas de Sachiyo sont vriament délicieux, une vraie découverte et un moment de vie et de partage à refaire M sans hésiter ☺️

Loved having a flavor of traditional Japanese atmosphere in the beautiful tea house. Sachiyo went out of her way to make our stay as pleasurable and interesting as possible. Her English is excellent and she was endlessly patient and informative with our many questions about Japanese life and culture. We always looked forward to our breakfasts as they were meticulously prepared with a different menu and dishes every morning!

While the location is a little way from the town center and rail station, our hosts gave us a ride down every morning, which was much appreciated.

Staying with Sachiyo at Atleliers Bees Knees was a truely wonderful experience. We stayed with our 2 daughters aged 8 and 10, who shared the upstairs bedroom and sitting area, whilst my husband and I shared the huge downstairs room on futons. The house, that you share with Sachiyo, her husband and 2 dogs, is huge! It’s very private and there is more than enough space to ‘escape’. Aside from having the main house, you have private use of the tea house, which again is massive. It’s traditional, with tatami mats and windows out to Sachiyos amazing ‘Kyoto’ style garden. Breakfast was served here every morning, which was incredible and the large bathroom with wooden hot tub is here as well. Sachiyo really went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. She would drop us at the station very easy access to Nara and even did a sushi master class with us one night, which was incredible. She answered our many questions on Japan and it’s culture and was happy to indulge my husband in his art explorations around quiet suburb! I can’t recommend this house enough, your experience here will be extremely memorable and you will even fall in love with Pumpkin and Bruce. Thank you Sachiyo!!
