Guesthouse SHIGI

La beauté de la maison, le confort des lits, l'accueil du propriétaire

Très belle maison de village. Calme, propre et spacieuse. L'hôte est attentionné et nous a gentiment accompagné à notre point de départ de notre randonnée ! Il nous a également aidé à réserver le restaurant en soirée ! Une très belle rencontre...

We had an amazing stay here! The house itself is beautiful and incredibly inspiring, with so much attention to detail. The vinyl collection was such a special touch and made the whole experience even more unique. The hosts were also wonderful, super kind and helpful, especially when recommending a great place for dinner nearby. We felt really well taken care of.

The house is a picture of old Japanese craftmanship. It felt like staying at a museum. The photos already gave some away, but it really exceeded our expectations. So much space. Comfortable beds, a very well-stocked kitchen. It's a short walking distance from the station and our host Assi communicated very well with us and even was so kind as to drive us to the start of the Nakasendo trail.

Sakashita itself is not the epitome of liveliness and the trains/buses do not run very frequently, so you really have to plan, but that has nothing to do with the property itself.

It was a huge space with multiple rooms and a very welcoming host. It was like a home away from home. The house is beautifully renovated in traditional Japanese style and the delightful garden is part of the view. Close to the very popular Magome to Tsumago walk on the Nakasendo trail.

The stairs to the bedrooms would be difficult for some people. But plenty of rooms to choose from downstairs if guests needed to stay on one level.

This was a truly exceptional experience, the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful simplicity and ingenuity of a traditional Japanese home. The stay added to our whole experience of Japan. Assi was also a very friendly and amenable host.

Arriving as we did in cold weather, we also experienced the historic heat insulation standards.
