Cafe & guesthouse Namakemono

Just a quick stop along the way but was blown away by this charming place. Loved the mix of old traditional house, cafe, and dormitory with all the modern amenities needed. The atmosphere was most relaxing with a creative cafe vibe. Private dorms, bathrooms, shower, common areas were super clean and comfortable. The owner was exceptionally nice and thoughtful

Café & Guesthouse Namakemono is a lovely, warm place to stay—full of charm, character, and beautiful wooden architecture. As you step inside, you’re welcomed by an open tatami room with comfortable chairs and a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. It’s family-owned, and you can feel the care and thought that’s gone into every detail. The owner (the dad of the family) is also the chef, and he made me a delicious panini sandwich with vegetable soup—especially catered to me as a vegetarian. That kind of personal touch is rare and very appreciated. The coffee was also fantastic. I stayed in the shared bunk beds area, but I happened to have it all to myself, which was a bonus! They also have private rooms available. Just a quick note—the stairs up to the second floor are fairly steep, so take care. The bathroom area is modern and very clean. While the bath is only for guests in the private rooms, the shower facilities for the dorm guests are small but new and spotless. The surrounding area is beautiful and peaceful, making it a perfect spot to unwind. Overall, a wonderful experience. Highly recommended if you’re passing through Fukui and looking for something homey and memorable.

Absolutely loved this charming cafe and guest house. Very clean and cozy dormitories, beautiful and elegant traditional Japanese interior design, modern restroom and shower, and an artisanal spread of drinks and food! If you're looking for a more traditional Japanese stay in a quaint, tranquil, enchanting gem of an area then I highly recommend Namakemono. The owner, Futami-san, places an outstanding amount of care and attention into everything that he does and I have great respect for him and his many crafts. I'm going to miss the delicately delicious breakfast with soft Jazz ambiance in the mornings. If I find myself in Ono again I will definitely be back! Thank you!
