The owners are so sweet and friendly, it made us feel totally at home. The beautiful, Japanese style room with comfortable futon beds was the perfect start for our bikepacking trip in Japan. The owners allowed us to unpack and setup our bicycles while letting us use the facilities after check-out time, until we were ready to go. They were very interested in our upcoming bikepacking trip and were able to give us some nice tips and even helped us by inflating our tires with their electrical pump. We can recommend all bikers to use this hotel for your first-, final- and/or reststop.

Eric and Matte are very, very kind and helpful. The room was clean and low noise. A lot of restaurants (fast food chains mainly) etc are near the house, and it takes approximately 30 min to the airport. I can highly recommend Bigham Maison. One just have to take care changing to the local train for the stop at Tsuruhara as the express does not stop there. Dear Eric&Matte, I hope, you enjoyed the sweets from Germany :) Thank you again for being so very helpful. I wish you a merry christmas and a great new year 2024.

The lovliest hosts ever! They gave us lots of excellent recommendations for onsens and restaurants in the area and even recommended the right ticket for exploring the area! (Kansai Through Pass, saved us a lot of money going to Nara etc.) There were bicycles for us to use, which made exploring that much easier. Really loved that. We stayed for a week and really felt at home! The rooms are clean and very comfortable. We slept so well on the futons! The bath is nice and roomy, has everything you need! The house is close to the train station, so you can be out the door and on the train to Osaka in 5mins! All in all a definite recommendation! A+

Eric and Matte have been stellar hosts. They were very friendly, supportive and accommodating. The room was clean, and had all the amenities we needed. Even though the shower and toilet were technically shared with other guests it felt like we were the only ones using it. Plus our room had a private sink. Eric and Matte took the time to get to know us, tell a bit about themselves and it really felt like we were guests at some old acquaintances during that stay. The stay was very reasonably priced and we felt lucky to have chosen to stay at Bighem Maison. The house interior is very authentic, clean, and the handcrafted woodworking is truly impressive. The property is conveniently located close to the Kansai airport (just a few minutes away on the subway). We had to fly out the next morning and it was perfect. All in all, highly recommended.

On the night we‘ve arrived at Kansei airport, there was a heavy snow storm delaying our flight for 5h pushing our checkin time to 6am in the morning. In addition, it wasn‘t sure if the train to the accommodation would be able to run and the roads were closed as well. However, the owners tried everything they could to help us out. The whole procedure was very stressful for us but the owners made us feel welcomed and comfortable. As we checked in pretty late, they even offered us to check out later than the normal check out time - that was very kind and forthcoming. We highly recommend staying at the lovely designed home stay!

There was nothing to complain about!

I loved everything about Bighem Maison! The host was so kind and welcoming, made me feel at home. I arrived quite late and nothing was a hassle for her, she reccomended eateries and advised about the free bike service. The bed was so comfortable and the whole stay was warm and quiet. It is very close to the airport/train station so a very convenient stay. I will be back!

I didn't stay long enough, amazing place!!

Very convenient for access to the airport. Good local restaurants. We enjoyed riding the bikes. My husband left his bag on the train with his wallet and passport in it. We arrived at Bighem Maison and informed the host who reassured us and immediately made a couple of calls. To our amazement his bag was found. The just advised us where to pick it up and we had it back within two hours. Thank you so much for your help.

The hosts were really nice, the place was relaxing after a busy time in tokyo and hakone. I had a lot of luggage with me and the host was very helpful in providing storage to sort my self out. They went out of their way to help me and really appreciate their kindness!

Nothing

Owner was very nice, he let us come in and get settled when he wasn't there because I didn't estimate the arrival time correctly. Room was nice and well-decorated. We stayed here so that we could easily catch an early flight to KIX and it made our airport commute MUCH easier-- just a short train ride away.

Beautifully furnished with handmade, timber furniture. Welcoming, friendly helpful hosts. we commend them for their commitment to help travellers. Great value for money, Close to railway station for easy access to Kansai airport.

Though it was no problem when we were there, the shared bathroom and kitchen facilities may be inadequate if the house was full.
