I loved everything about this place. Absolutely the highlight of my trip. And funny enough, there was no other guests so I had the whole place to myself! The town is very cute and the house is just incredible. It had everything a person could ask for in an accommodation. Everything works perfectly. The design is very beautiful. The house is even more beautiful in real life. I will never forget it. I think I told Assi how much I loved it too many times :) Assi was the most helpful host, he was very friendly, curious to know about my trip, he even picked me up from the station when I unfortunately missed the train. And dropped me off to the bus stop when I wanted to visit the near village. I hope to visit it again in future. Thank you again, thank you very much.

The rooms were really beautiful and traditional tatami mats. It was really clean and felt like a home. The manager does not stay on site, but was super helpful and responsive. He was great to have around helping!

Beautiful traditional house, the owner Ashi is very nice. He drove us with another client to the nakasendo road. Thank you again.

The house was a beautiful traditional Japanese style, which was only eclipsed by how amazing the staff was. This was my favorite experience of my time in Japan.

I loved staying at this guesthouse. The house is gorgeous, has rooms with tatami floors, and the beds are very comfortable. It has a very beautiful view of the mountains from the backyard, and it is conveniently located with restaurants around. The host is very kind and responsive. I definitely recommend staying here. It is also close to the train station.

This is someone's home with only two rooms available to rent, which makes the stay extremely unique and personal. I stayed two nights at the end of my hiking the Nakasendo, and just relaxed and enjoyed the traditional house. Not much in town, but the Okonomiyaki restaurant down the road was a treat, as i was welcomed by the owner and the guests and had a wonderful evening. SHIGI has only recently been renovated by the new owner, speaks great English is very helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

Large, traditional home with beautiful Scandinavian touches. We stayed in March, so the home was generally chilly, but the host provided many ways to find warmth - mini-splits, stoves, cozy down comforters. He was always helpful and cheerful. We had the whole place to ourselves, so the experience was like living in Japan long ago. Interesting little town, with friendly townsfolk and host. We had both supper and breakfast in town, and were sad to leave.

It was truly a pleasure to stay in this 110 year old traditional Japanese house. There were no other guests at the time and we had the whole house to ourselves. The house is tastefully furnished and there is even a new trail bicycle available for guests. The host was extremely helpful and friendly. He offered to make reservations for us at a local restaurant and even drove us (at a time that best suited us) to the trailhead for our hike at Magome.
