    The 2 top bunks bed were very, very high. Otherwise nothing else.

    This is a very nice guesthouse, the host was a lovely lady who understood English well and encouraged us to try to speak Japanese. The room was nice with a bathroom with toilets just for us outside our room. There are 2 rooms each has access to a dedicated bathroom. The kitchen and living room is common to all the guests. The equipment in the kitchen is good. With also leaflets and books to borrow. We came for the lights up event in Shirakawa-go and we had a lift to and from the event.

    Loved the Guesthouse - Anthut when we arrived it was snowing, we had to dig out the snow to park the car. It did take awhile for us to find this little gem as it was snowing so hard the GPS could't work out where we were but we got there in the end. The host was lovely and very welcoming, the place was warm and clean and the beds were comfortable. You do have to organise your own food, there is a supermarket just down the road with lots of delicious Japanese food. Unfortunately we didn't get to see very much as it was still snowing in the morning and the roads were closed but we didn't really care as this was a great little find. My husband gave the host a six pack of beer when we left to thank her husband for getting all the snow off the car in the morning. We would love to visit here again.

    Shower is very small, very. Wash face and brush teeth isn't private, it is in a shared room but you get your own sink. Was a bit too pricy for what you're getting but considering there wasn't any better options it was okay and for one night it was still enjoyable.

    If you're going to a guesthouse you are getting a guesthouse, and this is a good option guesthouse for this town. The hostess lady is very nice and welcoming.

    A bit far from center but not a big problem since they take care pick up / drop off and promptly stand by support. And good atmosphere around hotel

    Clean room, super kind / friendly staff, well take care and pick / drop us at famous restaurant and bus station. They provide warm welcome and always make us feel good. They pick up us at bus station around 5pm, it is good timing since we can walk around the village prior go to hotel and dinner.

    As this is an inn, the toilets and showers are outside. The ppty does get quite cold in Dec. I think it’s nice for solo or group travelers. However it’s not as favorable for families if kids are young.

    It’s a cosy space and the host is very warm!

    The heater at the living room and kitchen area is not warm enough. The room is warm enough.

    This place provides free shuttle to the bus station. Generally they provide as what are being described. The disadvantage of this place is not many restaurants nearby, so far I only know one beef restaurant nearby but the way towards there is a bit dark. Better to walk with friends/family.

    It was just a little bit too cold inside to be fully comfortable, but the bedding is thick so I was warm when sleeping! Wear your coat around inside and drink hot water and you’ll be good :)

    The hosts are the nicest people and the location was perfect! They picked me up from the bus station and took me back when I checked out. They also offered to stop by the store to make sure I got food. The place itself was so cute and the bed was comfortable. I felt very safe and cared for as a solo traveler.

    More like a youth hostel than a guesthouse

    When you charge 90€ for one night does it make sense to charge for a towel? The amount is minimal but this approach reflects some pettiness in dealing with customers. The bed's frame is fairly hard and the bathroom cold. Small details would improve easily improve the quality of the place: hangers, better storage space, thermal isolation of the shower and the toilet.

    It is a guesthouse that is closer to an original youth hostel: two bedrooms in dormitory style, where the common area is more comfortable than the bedrooms! The owner is quite sympathetic. Good wifi connection.

    The host Motoko definitely made us feel at home. She was very funny and when we were having trouble with the stovetop her son came over and helped out even though it was quite late at night. She also drove our bags to the bus terminal in her truck while her husband drove us in the car after we checked out which was generous of them. The common area felt very homely and there was two showers and two toilets (one for each room) which we liked.

    The answer ofr the owners by booking was not fast hence it was difficult to agree with them for a lift at the arrival. Compared to other accomodation in Japan the price was too high for this kind of accomodation, i believe like that since few availables in town. we were 5 but the structure was for more people and actually I believe if other guests there the same day it would have been very little space for all. we found very strange that even if there was nobody else at 22 the owners came and while playing cards they told us to go to bed, the same the owners came into the structure by knocking door at 6 in the morning to clean and organize the flat.

    The guesthouse is very simple but very clean and has everything. It is one of the few available in Shirakawago and from town is reachable by 20 min walking. The hosts were very kind.

    We have allocated room A and the bathroom and toilet is outside our room although it can be used only by us according to the house rules. There were other guests from room B during my first night stay. When they went to their toilet, the sliding door of their room produced unpleasant sound when we were sleeping after 10pm. And their noise in the common area was a big problem which my children could not sleep well. Also there is no key for the room and lockers are provided. I would admit this is my fault although it was quite hard to find a hotel in this region for Saturday.

    The host is super nice. It was great when there was no other guests in our neighbor room B for my 2nd night stay.
