    Since bathroom and restroom are shared, if you would like to go to restroom at late night. You have to wear more clothes because no any heat in the alley to the restroom. Also on the way to restroom is dark, you have to bring cell phone to turn on the light. of Couse, if you are scared of dark, bring someone to go with you.

    The meals are fantastic, out of my imagination. Quantity is ok, you don't worry about you are not full and eat something else.

    In a small city it’s close to the train station and local tourist spots. The hosts were very welcoming and kind and did their very best to make our stay comfortable. If you’re looking for authentic Japanese hospitality, look no further.

    Near to major attractions. Owners really good people and treat you as a family. After a long day, homemade Japanese dinner served in the room was A++ quality and in good quantity too. Variety of seafood dishes. On top of that, next day the Japanese breakfast served was even better and unexpected with hot oyster soup, fried salmon, boiled veggies too good, fruits, tea, etc. All in all best home stay i did till date and would come back again in future.

    the bath (ofuro) closes at 10:30, such that if you come back at curfew (11 pm) [no complaints about curfew itself] the bath is already closed. Would be nice if the bath was open later.

    Japanese breakfast was really good. Also enjoyed the old-style ryokan experience of tatami room & futons. (yes, means you walk down the hall for toilet and wash basins).

    Comfortable genuine Japanese ryokan inn close to the Daibutsu Giant Buddha and on the city heritage trail. Quiet old world charm. Lovely gracious owner and family who were very attentive. Large traditional room with Koi carp pond outside the window. Very clean shared WC and Onsen facilities. Japanese breakfast served in private dining room was very carefully prepared. The kind owner accommodated our need to leave very early on last day.

    There is no electric kettle in the room. You can ask for hot water from the house keeper.

    Service is the best. The house keeper helped us with our luggage, prepared indoor sandals for us, put our outdoor shoes into the shoe shelf, the bathroom (on-shen) was prefilled with hot water, bath agent was added and the water temperature was great! Besides, there was tea kit (teapot, teacup and sencha tea leaves)

    Basically feel contented in the inn. But my room is little far away from the restroom and I need to pass a corridor. It feels a bit cold in the evening when leaving the room to pass the corridor to the restroom~~~

    The hotel is located well and very close to the Buddha. The host is very nice and friendly. They help me to put the large luggage in the room. Similar to traditional Japanese inn, a hot tub is equipped in the bath room for your relaxation after shower. The dinner and breakfast from the inn contains various in-season seafood which is very delicious and large size. Recommend to stay there to experience their hospitality if you visit in Takaoka.

    Wish my stay was more than two nights

    My favorite lodging on my trip through Japan. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. The Ryokan is very traditional but well kept and modern where it makes sense. The tea in the room was a nice touch. Really enjoyed the bath, especially after long days of going around. Ample dining options nearby but wish i did the meal option as well. Hope to come back soon!!

    None!

    The owner went above and beyond to bring my luggage up to my room and also gave a tour of the whole building. It has all the amenities you ever need like towels, shaver, hairdryer, and many more. Location is great as well as it’s near to most sightseeing places. Don’t hesitate to book this accommodation, highly recommended :)

    The host gave us excellent recommendations on local restaurants and attractions. Includes a clean and comfortable bath facility with scented bath salts. Staff were friendly and eager to support us. The host spoke English perfectly. We were given a large room facing the koi pond. Very beautiful and peaceful. The location is a great launch-point for day trips to Kanazawa, Toyama, the Noto Peninsula, or Alpine Pass by car.

    The toilet smelled extremely bad. I know this is an old building but please do something with that for the sake of the guests. Also there is only 1 toilet on each floor, so we had to go around the whole building if we have to use it. But at least we didn't smell it. The whole building needs a deep cleaning. The rooms were very clean, but the sinks and mirrors in the hallway were a bit dirty and there weren't enough light to use the mirror. Also there are cobwebs and thick dust in every corner in the halls. Also a dark courtain would be nice in the room, in case someone doesn't want to wake up to the first lights.

    The room was spacious, the futonbeds were comfortable. The building is very nice but quite old and this gives a unique charm. The hosts were extremely helpful.
