This was our number one favorite stay in Japan! It is a very traditional guesthouse with a lot of charm, run by a sweet older couple. It is a small operation in a very small town: compared to modern hotels, many things such as dinner and breakfast schedules are more rigid. Please consider this when booking! The old lady who runs the customer-facing part of the guesthouse is very welcoming and accommodating, but also straightforward, which was fantastic from our Finnish perspective. She can use a translation app, gestures and a couple of English words for communication with foreign guests. We could speak some Japanese which made things a lot smoother. I would recommend learning some key phrases in Japanese for this stay! Some reviews criticize the cleanliness of the place, but let's be real here: the establishment is an older wooden house with sliding doors in close proximity to nature. Obviously you can find some cobwebs in the rafters if you look for them. The place is kept in very clean condition where it matters, and that includes guest rooms and dining areas. The set dinner and breakfast were the best food we ate during our trip. Simply fantastic. The hot spring baths were great, but also very hot 😄 Which shouldn't come as a surprise. The public, non-reserved baths are located indoors in a detached bathhouse building. There are separate indoor baths for men and women. The private outdoor bath must be reserved beforehand, after check-in. During our stay there were few other guests, so we were often free to use the private bath at will. If you want to travel here by bus, be ready to study the Nouhi bus timetables carefully. Some buses stop very close to the guesthouse, while some stop a 15min uphill walk away. Pulling a lot of luggage up a mountainside would not be a good time! We used the Yamato Takkyuubin luggage courier service both when arriving and when leaving. Payment is expected in cash.

The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. We stayed for one night during the Takayama festival as a couple but it can accommodate more guests. The open-air bath was fun and easy to use with privacy.

The owner was very kind and welcoming, and answered any questions I had. The guesthouse was very clean, and the rooms were large enough to do everything I needed to. The price is also very good for what you are getting and the area it is in.
