"This was my favorite stay out of all of my accomodations in Japan even if I was only there for a day (wish I stayed longer!). Soku-san and his wife are the kindest people ever and offered amazing hospitality. Gao is the cutest dog I've ever seen and I was super happy to get a picture with him at the end of my stay. The home is very clean and the room very spacious. The home is in a quiet residential neighborhood that is a very short walk away from a bus stop. There is also a convenience store...

"雪山を見ながらの露天風呂は最高でした。"

"12月24日に宿泊させて頂きました。 180年以上前に建てられた古民家の宿は、雪に覆われていて最高の日に宿泊できた事は本当に運が良かったです。 館内はとても清潔に保たれていて、気持ち良く過ごす事ができました。 石庭も手入れが行き届いていて、雪吊りが雪国を感じさせてくれました。 今度は、雪の無い時期にお庭のウッドデッキでバーベキューなんかもしてみたいです。 スタッフの皆様のお気遣いにも感謝しています。 一緒に営業している飲食店を探してくれたり、雪の少ない道を案内してくれたりと本当に助かりました。 本当にありがとうございました。"

"Me and my friend stayed here for one night. The host was very friendly and helpful. The place was well kept and everything was very clean and tidy. We very much enjoyed our short stay here and would recommend this to other travellers looking for a good authentic accommodation without the price tag. "

"I absolutely loved my stay here. The property supplied everything one could imagine. Even the most random things like shoe warmers. It was in a great location and we had a little bar right next to us so we could stop for a drink. Easy walk to the historic town or to the Samurai village. I would highly recommend it. "

"It was nice with two floors. Nonetheless the toilet and the bath were on different floors, will be a good exercise to go up and down between toilet and bath/ bedroom. Overall very happy. The host was amazing."

"Our junior suite was amazing. We had locals sweets everyday in our room with explanation about the local ingredients. We had a beautiful view of the river and city and eat good & well balanced breakfast. The staff was very polite & gave us excellent service. Thank you so much! We enjoyed our stay!"

"A fabulous, quaint, traditional property in a superb location. The free hot bathing room privately available, was very enjoyable too. The proprietor was very attentive and helpful and you can tell he's rightly very proud to be Japanese. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only thing I would say is we found the mattresses uncomfortable. That may be just our bodies, but we struggled. "

"Interesting traditional inn but modern facilities. Staff guide you around the property, which is quite unusual when you're used to staying in standars hotels. Staff have varying levels of English but thanks to Google translate it didn't cause any problems. Slight miscommunication about our check out time, but it was resolved and we found our way out of the hotel(!)"

"This hotel was a sanctuary of calm with forest views from every window, excellent food, very friendly staff, and a minimalist aesthetic. Bathrooms were shared as it provided a traditional Japanese experience but as someone who would generally avoid a shared bathroom this was more part of the experience than a drawback. Rooms extremely clean, calming, and comfortable with own sink and toilet. "

"Clean and walking distance to all the town's attractions."

"Hotel was in a quiet area but just down the road from a main area. The hotel was quiet and they accommodated our early check in. We had a big room with a nice patio. The only issue was that there was a strong musk smell. I think it is due to the wood but one person in my group was sensitive to the smell and it bothered them. "

"The best part of our stay was the bedroom location. We had shakara room which is in the front and most private. There are rooms that have to walk either across the temple for shared bathroom or right next to the bathroom where there may be more noise. Not a fan of the only one bathroom. And water provided would have been nice. Showers have to be scheduled on time board since it is shared. Nice host and clean. Towels need improvement. Quality and quantity. "

"We ended up with a private toilet and sink as well as a huge separate living room. The bedroom in itself was large as well, the bed comfortable."

"Beautiful friendly people, great breakfast with very good sized rooms. Well considered services for a very comfortable stay. "

"Convenient access to all the locations including railway Station. Friendly staff and knowledgeable to provide advice on famous local interests places. "

"Amazing stay . "

"Great breakfast & dinner. Friendly staff."

"Wonderful place to stay. Loved the hot bath and traditional Japanese Inn experience!"

"Lovely hosts make our stay a wonderful and memorable experience! Even though location is ten minutes away from main town, host will drop you off and pick you up whenever you need. The house itself is old and requires quite a lot of update. Our room also feels a bit like dorm room for three of us. But everything is clean including bath tub. The most impressive is the food! Tasty breakfast every morning and super delicious dinner was a big surprise! Highly recommend all customers to reserve the...

"Loved the thoughtfulness and all the complimentary toiletries. Loved the bathrobe and house slippers provided. Great room size. There were 3 adults in our group. Excellent value. And best part is the location! Literally right next door to the train station. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. Would definitely stay here again!!"

"Highly recommend for those exploring takayama and around. "

"The room is modern and very new. There are many nearby restaurants and convenience store. "
