Lodgings in Gose

Good price including breakfast.

The staff was amazing. Especially one lady that did everything to help. My wife is a vegetarian so she needed help with breakfast. The facilities were also great for the price

The property was beautifully restored with everything you needed as a weary traveller. Amazing collection of current and historical decors and antiques. There was intentional detail showing the mastery of japanese craft, from the doors to walls, even the hanging rack for clothes. The garden was also curated with collected rocks, small fountains, and provided a serene environment to truly enjoy this older folk house.

The host was friendly, and it was a great stay at the Minshuku (a family-run, guesthouse-style lodgings).

This apartment really takes me back... it's basically a repurposed 1R (one room) type of apartment, with a tiny kitchenette and a tiny unit bath, in a very old building with thin walls. Basically it's a place that would be typically rented by a poor college student or a young adult. In this case however it was turned into a hostel-like accommodation, and honestly it works well as such. The apartment had everything we needed, including the microwave, electric kettle and some dishes. The place was taken care of well. The futons even had an electric blanket, so we did not get cold during chilly nights.

Kotorian is a wonderful holiday destination. It was a pleasure meeting you meet Ogawa san and his wonderful wife who made our stay extremely comfortable and memorable. We felt connected with the rich heritage of this 130 year old home and also felt part of Ogawa san’s family. Overall, it was a dreamy stay. Also, The Koi pond and garden which have been designed by Ogawa san will win your heart the moment you step into the property.

Has more amenities than more hotels that I’ve seen

The staff was fantastic. I stayed at this hotel because it was close to the mountains to run in. I needed a 6:30am taxi, and the taxi wouldn't do a that time. So the manager agreed to drive me 20 minutes in his own car even tho he was not working then.

The staff were friendly and professional, they made our stay a pleasure.

The guesthouse has bicycles you can use, but they are not rental quality.
