Perfect for rustic breaks in the countryside, an Inn is a small property with basic hotel services and typically traditional decor. Inns are fully licensed and have a bar providing food and drinks in the evening – distinguishing them from country or guest houses.
One of the best places I stayed at in Japan, if not the best! I had a great getting to know the staff and the other guests. Everything was perfect and still had a homely atmosphere. Dinner and breakfast were also really nice.
Great hospitality. Breakfast and dinner were specially prepared by the host. It was a pleasant surprise to see a warmed water bottle on the futon. It definitely kept us warm during our sleep.
Very nice traditional Japanese style hotel with excellent traditional breakfast and dinner! The outdoor onsen is also very nice and a great experience!
The house is in a beautiful peaceful little village with magnificent mountain scenery. The landlady was nice. The Japanese-style dinner and breakfast were delicious.
Great staff and traditional Japanese atmosphere, the breakfast and dinner were traditional Japanese style with a wonderful spread of foods. The host was extremely friendly and helpful in getting me to the Shirakawa-go village and explaining the area. Also, even though I was late to check in, they still had dinner prepared for me. There is also an onsen you can use, and the views are amazing from this place. The Kotatsu in my room was so beautiful and addictive you didn't want to leave.
The owner was very friendly, helpful and kind. The facilities were clean and plentiful. The room was larger than expected and comfortable. The guest house is a 30 minute walk from Ainokura - though the walk is steep, and involves walking alongside main roads. There's a bus stop a few houses over that travels there frequently enough too though, and I recommend taking that!
Guest House Takazuri-KITA is located on a hill, across the river, overlooking the mountains and the village below. It is an amazing view. So serene! We felt very comfortable and welcomed at the gueshthouse and sat and read in the living room, had a few craft beers and sake, had a wonderful dinner (husband ordered the bear which was caught by the owner's friend, and he got some because he carried it back!) and breakfast! Their 3-year-old son is boisterous and friendly. Highly recommend staying here.
Very beautiful rustic aesthetic original gassho-zukuri house in a stunning and quiet world heritage listed area. Food was amazing, local, varied and big portions. Eaten around the fire hearth. So glad I didn’t stay in Shirakawa-go! Warm and hospitable family run guest house were nothing was a problem. Deep self heating bath and modern toilets completed the dream stay. Highly recommend - it was the highlight of a fabulous trip to Japan. I hope to return!
