Lovely property that’s been very tastefully refurbished and a fun way to experience more traditional houses. Assi is very helpful and very generously gave us a lift to Magome for the Nakasendo hike. We also really enjoyed Sakashita - there were some good restaurants and it was great to escape the tourists.

Great place to stay! Very beautifull, traditional house with a cosy kitchen. The rooms are really nice. Very close to the trainstation. Good place to stay if you are planning to do the Nakasendo hike. The host is super nice and very helpfull.

The guesthouse is a beautiful 110 year old traditional wooden structure. The futon was very comfortable, all the facilities were great, and the room was spotless. Assi was a great host. I'd recommend Guesthouse Shigi to anyone visiting the Kiso Valley!

This is a traditional house, lovingly restored by the owner. The room (rooms, actually 3) I got was really large and way too much for a single traveler like me. The spacious kitchen has everything you need. This is a fantastic place for families or groups of friends, its 5-10 minutes walking from the train station. The host Assi is a great guy and super friendly. The photos dont do this place justice, it is really much better than it looks in the photos!

I really enjoyed every aspect of this cosy stay. Aside from the excellent house and room, the host, Assi, was quite charming. With his good English he was able to put in the extra effort, always as helpful as possible for his guests. He even offered to drive me to Magome when I told him I was doing the old Nakasendo route! Great stay, one of the most memorable of my Japan trip.

We loved the house and the garden! Beautiful! Altough the house has almost no isolation and is very cold, the heating in the room and kitchen works fine and there is a nice bath so it is allright. The nice music collection and the well equipped kitchen made the house feel like a home for these two nights. The neighbourhood is quiet and the town has several small shops and restaurants like a nice bakery and supermarket. The woman of the okonomiyaki place is ☀️. It felt all very friendly and authentic. Assi is a kind host and helped very well.

My favorite accommodation in Japan. The house is beautiful, spotless, peaceful.. I found myself wanting to live there haha. And the host is super friendly and kind. He recommended an awesome place to have dinner, he drove me and the other guest to Magome so we could do the trail, AND he got me an adaptor that I was missing because mine didn't work. I was very grateful.

This place is AMAZING. I didnt know, but it is a traditional Japanese country house, more than 100 years old, tatami floors, futon bed, little gardin looking to the mountains. It was one of my best stays in my Japan trip so far. Also, Ashi (the host) is super nice, he even drived me to Magome the next day free of charge. Thank you, Ashi. I recommend very much.
