Minshuku Goyomon

The host lady is very friendly. Though she doesn't speak English, she kept checking on us and made sure we had everything we needed The dinner portion set was huge, I was very full by the time I finished my meal. The highlight of the dinner meal is the charcoal grilled fish that she had prepared about 1 to 1.5 hours before the dinner served. The vegetables tempura are soooo yummy as well as the vegetable soup. The room is spacious and could easily accommodate a family of 4. The kimono set is provided along with other toiletries. Our bed was made of 2 layers of futton, and I should have asked one more futton to add extra comfort. It was a bit too hard for my back. I would recommend trying the bed when you arrive and checking if you need more layers. Don't wait till you go to bed, as you won't be able to ask the host as she has gone upstairs sleeping. Location wise, only 7 mins walking up from Ainokuraguchi bus stop. You will find the village is very charming and serene, not too crowded by tourists, the reason we chose this location to experience the real Japanese country life. In the morning, around 7.30 ish, there was a sound of gong, hit with longer intervals then followed by intense ringing bells from the Shrine-liked house just behind the house. The toilet is super duper modern equipped with all sensors that allow you to do and finish your business without hassle. The toilet seat opens automatically when you come in the cubicle. Once you get off, it flushes down, and soon after, the seat will close. We have seen this smart toilet before somewhere in Japan, but we weren't expecting to find it in this traditional Japanese home deep into the highlands. Thank you so much for the host lady for providing such a great experience for us.

The host was so understanding and kind.

This 2 night stay was magic and unforgettable: warm and friendly hosts, authentic Japanese traditional house with comfortable facilities, Japanese paper sliding doors, good heating, the perfect toilet, green tea all day long, wearing a Yukata,and last not least: absolutely delicious food!

We loved everything!

Warm and friendly welcoming (both our hosts were lovely to us), spending the night in a tradicional Japanese home, the best toilet facilities in my entire trip, good heating, delicious homemade meals!

I loved everything, unforgettable stay.

Great hospitality. Breakfast and dinner were specially prepared by the host. It was a pleasant surprise to see a warmed water bottle on the futon. It definitely kept us warm during our sleep.

The house is in a beautiful peaceful little village with magnificent mountain scenery. The landlady was nice. The Japanese-style dinner and breakfast were delicious.

The old lady who takes care care of the inn is really sweet and nice. My gf said she felt like a grandchild getting cared for by a grandma.
