『森居 Metsä Mökki』 

The little details of the home decor adds to the charm of this humble abode. It is especially beautiful when the morning light streams in, almost dreamlike.

The owners adopts these abandoned stray dogs but they never ever let them in the house to keep it clean for the guests. They are especially friendly and endearing dogs who just love playing with you. 10/10 would return just for them.

We could feel the genuine warmth and hospitality from the owners. They were always looking out for us and making sure that everything was ok on our end, and they never fail to go the extra mile if needed. This is why I love staying in homestays. The experience is just so different and real.

At 5am 阿澤 will drive us up to a non-touristy location to catch the magnificent sunrise. Love the fact that he brings us to a only-locals-know-it place and even offers to take photos for us.

Lucky to have caught the cherry blossoms in March.
