    Very nice traditional place. The owner is very nice and helped in what we needed. We felt that we are guests in a Japanese family house.

    Really up to your next door. Feel some uncomfortable with the other guests who always complainning of the voice and light. We tried our best possible to keep quiet and not turning on the light unnecessarily. But this is more like home stay not a hotel. We all should accept and respect our choices of stay. And the breakfast need to be done in 30 minutes, since there are queue for the next guest. No problem if you can eat quick.

    Homey place. A heritage street nearby. The check in is easy.

    Well I booked without realising it is a ryokan. (It calls itself an inn, in English.) Ryokan is great in principle but our bodies are getting a little aged for the low, hard bed. We also missed that the facilities are shared, which we prefer not to tolerate nowadays. Seemed to be no obvious place to shave or clean teeth. The nearby beach is ok, the sunset pleasant and the village interesting but Aussies should not expect a beach of the average Australian calibre.

    Quiet, friendly host, very good breakfast. Pleasant atmosphere. Owner is Canadian so easier to converse for us. Not expensive. Small so only a few guests. Easy tram ride from Toyama station.

    I suggest you opt for an upstairs room. The walls offer little noise insulation and the downstairs room is next to the kitchen/dining area so if breakfast prep starts early, as it did with us, it’s an unwelcome wake up call.

    The property was pleasant with the host being friendly and informative. Great western style breakfast. It’s a 5 minute walk from the tram stop, 15-20 minutes to the beach and right near the main historic street. It’s a nice place to stay for a night in a quiet little town.

    The hosts were incredibly nice. I loved our breakfast time with them and the fun conversations. Iwase is beautiful and I highly recommend spending plenty of time in the surrounding area. It is such a gem. This inn is easy to get to via Toyama tram. It's about a 30 min trip from the station including a short walk. Thank you so much. We hope to see you again soon!

    jitsu ha, I didn’t like the smell of the Japanese air fresheners in the public areas. Maybe just my thing

    It was the classic “bed and breakfast” experience that you read about, but hardly ever have. The friendly hosts not only served a great breakfast, but were attentive to every aspect of the experience.

    It had been a major improvement with toilets in the room instead of a shared. The shared shower however was nice and no problem to share.

    Comfy place where you feel at home. Canadian owner is friendly and willing to chat about japanese culture or things to do. Nice breakfast in the garden.

    Absolutely loved staying here. The hosts are super friendly and gave a ton of great advice and recommendations on what to do in the area and where to eat. We decided on an izakaya they recommended and it was AMAZING. The room is super clean, the bed is so comfy, and the bathroom is great. The breakfast the next morning was absolutely delicious.
