Since I'm a girl and it's my first time travelling alone, I was a bit anxious at night because there is no lock on the doors. There are no other guests when I booked the stay but I was still a bit scared. I know Japan is a relatively safe country but still I'm not comfortable to sleep somewhere without a lock. I didn't know about this when I booked it. But overall, except for this, the stay was good!

The food prepared was delicious! The place has a great view that will relax you. It would be a great place to stay with your friends. There are no other guests when I booked the stay so it was rather quiet (except for the cars passing by) but the walls are made of wood so it might be a bit noisy with other guests.

The shower room was old and not comfortable.

The owner was very kind, he helped us a lot and gave us recommendations for hiking trails. The house is old but beautiful.

Since it is an old Japanese house, our room was a bit noisy and was divided by sliding doors. We didn't mind it so much. The shower was outside in a separate building and was very cold (not the water, which was fine)

After a long day of hiking, a simple but excellent homemade meal was prepared for us. As it was freezing outside, we got hot-water bottles for the night and the sleep was very comfortable.

Room door has a window which meant early-morning light comes in.. not conducive to a lie-in lol!

Very rustic and traditional japanese style inn in a fantastic out-of-the-way location (not to everybodies taste, for example, the closest restaurants are a 20-30 minute drive away..) beds are futon, which, again, not everybody will like. Owner was very friendly and accommodation; when I booked I didn't know that there was a dinner option, but the owner was able to provide me with dinner after all! In the evening we sat around a fire out in the open until it started to rain, then everybody moved into the common area.

Nothing. Make sure to tell the host if you want to eat there as well beforehand.

The house is a as japanese as it gets. The host was adorable and gave us the room with the Mountain view. Just astonishing during the rain, like one one Hiroshige's painting.

I went there to focus on writing my novel, it was perfect environment! The views from the room were breathtaking and the kindness from Hajime and his wife made me feel like at home. I will try to go back :)

Not very constructive I know, but nothing really

The mountains, the vibes, the people we met here, the adventure we had, the stars we saw, the experience we lived here my brother and I was pretty unique and beautiful, it felt like a dream. Thank you for all of that 😁

The view from the room is beautiful. If you like nature and mountains, you have to make a stop there ! The food was great and the owner welcoming!

Amazing guesthouse with a very friendly owner! He told me everything about the surrounding. I loved the hiking path! His wife is cooking delicious meal, you have to try it! The rooms are very big and clean. The view from the windows is stunning!!

Our host, Mr. Tachikawa picked us up at 10 pm at the train station Mitsumineguchi to help us get back to the guest house. When it was time for us to leave, he walked with us before 7.30 am to the bus stop to make sure we board the bus all right. Even though we were two weird foreigners, he helped us to feel ok with our vegetarian diet and need to go to wild nature. Deep respect for him and his family who run the guest house with care.

Hajime, the owner, was super helpful and kind. We ordered dinner and breakfast and it was delicious. The guesthouse is a traditional, rustic, old-style Japanese house and it was exactly what I was looking for. The view from the room was absolutely gorgeous! I was on foot and walked from the station to the guesthouse- about 30 mins. There are a couple of places to eat nearby, by foot or bus - all delicious! I spent a couple of days walking in the mountains nearby. It was an amazing experience- very rustic, but that was exactly the type of place I was looking for. Thank you Hajime!

I guess for some people the river might be loud at night and the house is old but to me these were nice points actually

Everything, the food provided the kindness of the hot, the place was amazing I lost my phone on the bus but the guest house manager was kind enough to help me out and contact the bus agency to get it back asap! The location was right out of a move honestly so pretty!!!

Buses in the area run infrequently and end early at around 4pm, so if you don’t have a car, it’s best to get an early start and plan to return by then.

Comfortable and cozy lodgings in Chichibu. We stayed for our wedding anniversary and enjoyed a short weekend trip in the national park. Tachikawa-san is a friendly and hospitable host who was very patient with our beginner Japanese. He kindly arranged pickup service for guests who wanted to see the famous Misotsuchi Isicles at night, and gave us information about the hiking trails nearby. He spoke slowly and clearly, which was very helpful. However, if you don’t understand Japanese, he also speaks good English. The lodgings were clean, and the historicity of the guesthouse gave it a lot of charm. Although it was cold outside, the kotatsu and futon were warm and cozy. Breakfast in the morning (miso soup, rice, pickles, green tea, tofu), which can be ordered separately, was delicious and a nice start to the day. I would recommend Nishiki Guesthouse to anyone who wants to experience traditional Japanese lodgings and enjoy the beautiful hiking trails in Chichibu National Park. It’s about 3.5 hours by foot to Mitsumine Shrine with many interesting sights, peaceful forests, and friendly folks to meet along the way.
