Location. Food. We didn’t expect to get picked up and were pleasantly surprised to see the owner lady at the station. Little fireplace in the living room/dining room is nice.

Dora Hong Kong

Very warm welcome with tea and sweets. The rooms were very warm and cosy and we spent the evening around the fireplace. The diner was excellent, fresh and much more food than one could eat. Our 8 year old son got a special kids menu. Breakfast was very good, too. The futon beds were very comfortable. The house is very clean and we had an excellent stay. Even the washi paper workshop was organised for us. Great experience!

Tina Japan

After a stay in Ainokura in spring time a few years ago, we came back in winter. The minshuku is in a traditional farm house, and the lady running the minshuku is extremely friendly. Food was excellent, and the futon beds were very comfortable. During the night we had around 40 cm of snow, so it was great to walk around in the morning and take pictures. Afterwards the lady from the minshuku brought us to the bus stop by car.

Jeroen Netherlands

Very authentic house - lovely owner. Right in the centre. Unique

Janet United Kingdom

Great staff. Nice place since no much visiters which the travel quality is better.

Ching Taiwan

A very special stay in this property, we enjoy it. Host is very lovely and she provide good dinner and breakfast. She is very responsive via messaging in booking.com while we having some questions. Quiet morning walk in the village, you will enjoy the amazing view of mountains and the heritage houses.

Lew Singapore

the lady owner was really nice! she picked us up from the bus stop on the highway as it was raining and took us with her car straight to her lovely house. and since all trains and buses were suspended due to typhoon hagibis, she offered to tAke us to shirakawago by her car where we could then continue with buses as buses were still operating from shirakawago. that was very nice and thoughtful of her!! and meals were really delicious! our room was spacious and showers and toilets are not too old-fashioned by japanese standards (i’ve been to ryokans with more old-fashioned toilets in tokyo). overall it was a very nice stay!!

Elgy Indonesia

Our host looked after us so well, her preparation of both dinner and breakfast was sensational and she made sure we were comfortable and happy the whole trip. It still felt very private, and we were able to do our own thing when we weren't being served up incredible meals. It's a small village, but there was lots to see and explore, as well as time for relaxing. Couldn't have been more enjoyable!

Angel Australia

Love the hospitality of the host, and the picturesque view around the property. It was enjoyable walking around the village. Dinner and breakfast prepared by host were superbly delicious! Yummy!

Siaw Singapore

The 200 years old Minshuku Goyomon lies amid Ainokura Village, a World Heritage Site with centuries old Gassho-style houses and a traditional local community.

Rooms in the Japanese guest house feature tatami (woven-mat) flooring, Japanese futon bedding and sliding paper doors. Bathroom facilities are shared.

Guests can experience a stay in a historical Japanese environment, and enjoy a Japanese meal in the dining area. There are some cafes within walking distance.

Smoking is not allowed in the World Heritage park, and sightseeing is only allowed after the early morning and before dusk. Also private properties are off-limits, and trash must be taken home.

Goyomon Minshuku is a 15-minute drive from Gokayama Onsen hot springs, and a 40-minute drive from historical village Shirakawa-go.

This property is a ryokan, which is a type of traditional Japanese Inn. Learn more

  • What's a ryokan?
    A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
  • What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
    Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
  • What's a kaiseki meal?
    Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
  • What's a yukata?
    A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
  • How should I wear a yukata?
    First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
  • What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
    Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
  • What's standard bathing etiquette?
    At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
  • Why are tattoos not allowed?
    While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.5 for a two-person trip.
