Guesthouse Minshuku Yomoshirou

939-1915 Toyama, Nanto, Ainokura 395, Japan –

Lock in a great price for Minshuku Yomoshirou – rated 9.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

The owners were very friendly! It was a very special experience. Owner introduced their culture to us! The Minshuku is located in a beautiful and quite village. We were in a rush so we got there around 6 pm in the afternoon and we had to head out around 7 am. The owner gave us a ride to the bus stop. But I recommend you to stay a little bit longer if possible. So that you can actually walk around a little bit and know more about the village. The food was great too (if you like Japanese food). The veggies were mostly plant or collected from the mountain by the owner. I loved the fish dishes too!

Dinner and breakfast were excellent and delicious. The host was very friendly and tried to introduce Japanese culture to us. He was so nice to give us a ride to the bus stop in the next morning. The room is Japanese style room, very cozy and well maintained.

This place was absolutely amazing. The host was very friendly and went out of his way to talk to us and tell us about local traditions. I would highly reccommend visiting Ainokura and staying here!

Toni, United States of America

The hospitality was the best on top of excellent meals, extraordinary cleanliness, and beautiful architecture of the house. I love how the host spent so much time teaching us about the history and culture of the area and really appreciated how he drove me to the bus stop in the morning. One of my best experiences in Japan.

Christie, United States of America

The family was very nice and welcoming. Upon arrival, the son was very helpful and insisted on carrying my heavy luggage to my room. Although the father spoke little English, he did very well in explaining the food, history, and culture of Gokayama. He even performed some folk songs during dinner time. They are a very nice family and I would stay with them again.

Ddluu, United States of America

The host and family is just awesome. I missed the bus stop by quite a bit due to the miscommunication with the bus driver and the host saved the day by picking me up from the middle of nowehere! He kept us entertained with his musical talents and over great food. Fantastic hospitality and a beautiful place!

The family that owns and runs Yomoshirou was fantastic! They were very caring and accommodating. The food was delicious and the owner took the time to inform us of what was on the menu and about the history of the house which was extremely interesting. It was like spending a night in a museum. He also set up a DVD for us to watch about the Hasson-style houses in English. They served breakfast early for us as we needed to catch the bus and they even drove us down to the bus stop.

Yuu, United States of America

The landlord are very friendly. They server is the traditional Japanese dinner & breakfast. I love it very much. When I check out , the landlord told us the bus have been stop due to heavy show, but they landlord willing to fetch us to nearly train station , it take around 1 hour drive. Very appreciate he. If next time I will choose to stay this homestay again.

“Gassho townhouse experience”

The rooms do not have walls, rooms are separated by sliding doors, can easily hear noise from next door or people walking around. No lock on rooms, no safety box too. Only one shower room, a bit of patient required to line up for bath.
The male host is very friendly, he speak limited English however did his best to explain the culture, music instruments, the structure of Gassho style house, the ingredients of dinner. The Ainokura village has greater authenticness compare to Shirakawago. Have dinner and breakfast with all the guests surrounding the fire pace in the center of the hall was a highlight. Got to share stories with people around the world during the dinner was a great experience.

Room was small and we could hear the other occupants sleeping. But I Guess this is expected if you are living in such premises.
Excellent service - proprietor ferried us to and from the bus stop. Snowshoes and umbrellas were also provided so that we could trek around.

Mr and Mrs Yomoshirou were excellent hosts. They were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Mr Yomoshirou even put a show for us, singing and playing some of the traditional instruments. The food was all sourced locally and it was very tasty. The sleeping accommodations very comfortable. We loved the 'hot boxes' in our beds during the cold evening! On the morning we had leave, since it had snowed during the night, Mr Yomoshirou kindly gave us a lift to the bus stop. We would definitely consider doing this again in a future visit to Japan!

If I could give this place an eleven, I would. The couple who ran the place were hospitable to a fault, and the entire cottage was immaculately well maintained. There's no other experience like huddling around a century-old fireplace while having a hot meal and listening to the proprietor give a speech about the history of the village and the hut itself.

Authentic Japanese culture experience. The hosts were very nice, polite, happy and helpful. They gave us a lift to the bus station as it was raining when we checked out. The house is immaculately clean. Love the food they’ve cooked for us. Harvested from their garden and from the mountains. It was an amazing experience overall. We stayed there for 2 nights. We loved it and will definitely come back!
