I love this minkushu. the hosts were very thoughtful and entertaining. The town is lovely. Our host, in whose family the house has been for 200 years, gave us a delightful performance of song and traditional instruments at dinner. The house is beautiful and the village, stunning.

The walls between the rooms are very thin so it's easy to hear the other guests at night.

The owners were both super nice, the food was delicious (and they made vegetarian food too!) Kuni san was great to talk to and explained a lot about the history of the village, and the house was super traditional and interesting. Comfortable bed and bath.

absolutely nothing to complain about!!

The best place I stayed during my entire Japan trip, such an amazing surprise! The hosts are incredibly kind, they serve a yummy dinner and breakfast, they have lots of stories to tell. The old house is just amazing, cozy, romantic, very clean! I had a spacious bedroom with a comfortable traditional bed. I had the chance to stay there in winter, it has been snowing all day long and during the night. I will never forget the time I spent there!

Nothing!

The wonderful host family shared with us aspects of their unique culture. The bedding was also comfortable and snug, and the food was simple and tasty. One of the best minshuku experiences in Japan.

Hosts were so accommodating, kind and gracious. They have snow boots and sleds you can borrow if you go in the winter. The space was warm and comfortable and the meals were incredibly delicious and thoughtful. We had a lovely one night stay in the adorable town of Ainokura.

The whole experience was fantastic. The hosts welcomed us with a traditional welcome drink. The dinner was delicious and all local produce, some foraged from the mountain and grown in the family’s garden. We were made to feel really welcome. One of the best experiences we have had in Japan.

We loved how genuinely friendly they were, and the food was wonderful. It was very quiet and private, and the bathrooms were very nice as well.

I had no complaints at all!

This is a special experience. You get to experience the hospitality of a home stay in a 200 year old thatched roof house. The dinner and breakfast were perfect and our host was congenial and shared his musical instruments with us. The town is lovely....small enough for a one night stay.

I'm not accustomed to sitting on the floor or futon beds but the host went out of his way to make me comfortable.

It's located in the mountains in a world heritage site and could be the most peaceful place I've ever stayed. This is an authentic old world Japanese experience that needs to be experienced to appreciate. The host

Both dinner and breakfast ( Japanese style) were so delicious. They were cooked and served with so much care and attention. The owners shared some stories about the area and this heritage house. It's a lot more quiet and peaceful than Shirakawago. We really enjoyed our stay. We would love to stay there again.

Nothing. Everything was very special!

Please, we enjoyed our stay with Cooney and Toriko. They were a great host, very generous with her time and provided a warm and friendly welcome. The food was great, and the entertainment very special.

Everything was amazing! The hosting couple were super friendly and really cared and made us feel at home. Kuni, the host, explained some folk tales as well, and the house felt like a smaller version of the houses at shirikawa-go so it really made the whole experience of visiting both places much better. Highly recommended!

What a beautiful traditional Gassho house. Simple but with all the necessary modern amenities.

Nothing negative to share.

The meals (traditional Japanese) are lovingly prepared and deservedly being awarded top marks, even for the most insatiable taste buds and critical foodies. I received nothing but warmth reception and communication by my hosts, who took care of my wellbeing to ensure I have the best experience as a guest staying at their traditional Gazzho-zukuri home.

This was the absolute highlight if our trip to Japan. To stay is Gasho of this quality is an absolutely unique experience. The family that runs it are so inviting and so knowledgeable about the food they prepare and harvest. A magnificent and unique experience!
