Oukai Villa Izumi

The buildings and the Japanese garden at the Villa are outstanding and the food the best we’ve ever experienced. The service was extraordinary - friendly, helpful, professional, and personal. The surrounding countryside and the local villages are wonderful to cycle around and very safe. The courtesy transport is exceptional. Overall, fabulous value for money and we will definitely be coming back.

From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the authentic atmosphere and warm hospitality that made my stay truly memorable. The location of this Airbnb was perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat away from the bustling city. Nestled amidst the serene surroundings, the village offered a unique glimpse into traditional Japanese life. I was instantly taken in by the picturesque beauty and the sense of tranquility that enveloped the area. One aspect that truly stood out during my stay was the exceptional hospitality of the hosts. They went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. The shuttle service provided to the nearby train station was incredibly convenient and saved me both time and effort. It made exploring Osaka and the surrounding areas hassle-free.

Exceptional accommodations with new renovations. Breakfasts and dinners were included and by far, the highlight of our stay. Host Scarlet and staff provided so much exceptional service that we are planning a return for a longer stay in the fall. There are an amazing variety of plants and flowers in addition to the cherry blossom trees that surround this beautiful place of refuge. So peaceful, quiet, and relaxing to refresh your soul and unwind. We were fortunate to be able to utilize some electric bikes to cruise through the winding countryside, amongst orchards of citrus trees and beautiful scenery

I loved our stay here, the small house was amazing and everything was super clean. The garden is spectacular just like in the photos. I booked with halfpension and both the Japanese breakfast and dinner (hotpot and BBQ) were delicious. The location is far from the center of Osaka, but we came for Mt. Koya which is easy to reach from the hotel with a paid shuttle service that was pretty cheap! There is also a free timed shuttle service to Izumi-chuo station though. I'd stay here if you want to relax, bike or hike!

The property was meticulously kept and was in a beautiful quiet part of Japan. The owner herself picked us up from the train station and drove us back to Oukai Villa Izumi. The stay was relaxing, and the hosts were very helpful ensuring we feel comfortable and set up with anything we might need. This was one of our most serene parts of Japan with beautiful gardens and surrounding nature. The e-bike amenity was appreciated!
