Guesthouse SHIGI

Beautifully constructed house - very nice garden behind. Cool jazz record collection. Quality hike from Magome to Tsumago. Host was very helpful and accommodating.

This place was lovely! I felt so lucky to be able to stay in such a beautifully maintained, traditional Japanese style house. Assi was a great host, he has gone to the trouble to provide all the little touches around the house and the local information a guest might need. The place is very quiet but a very short walk from the train station and some food options too.

The stay was the highlight of the trip. Please don't think twice while booking this stay. It's just wonderful . We wish we had more time to spend at this wonderful gem of a place. And the host is very kind and helpful too and speaks good English. He even dropped us at magome where we started the trail. He has good collection of music too at his place which we were able to enjoy. We loved everything about this little village and our short stay. If you wanna have a glimpse of the place I would be uploading a video soon as an attestation of how beautiful the place is - please check guesthouse shigi in YouTube .

Nothing to complain about.

We chose this property for its convenient access to Tsukechi and Yumori. Sakashita and the property are located near the main road, making it easy to find. Although we initially reserved one room, we were pleasantly surprised to have access to the entire house. It’s a lovely traditional home—old yet well-maintained. The host was wonderful and incredibly friendly. Overall, everything was great, and we had a delightful stay.

Our host, Assi, was waiting for us at the property and was very accommodating. Speaking very good English and showing us all the facilities of this very beautifully restored traditional Japanese house. The house is made very comfortable with excellent home-style kitchen and living room, both supplied with high quality vinyl and CD sound systems. He suggested an excellent restaurant run by a man and his wife that was equally homely and with very good food. There is also a very cool vinyl cafe close-by that would not be out of place in Brooklyn New York. We were very nicely surprised by our stay at Guesthouse SHIGI and would recommend anyone detours a few minutes from the Nakasendo Trail to experience something truly special.

There were no problems with our stay.

It was a beautifully preserved traditional Japanese home. Built over 100 years ago. The photos do not do this house justice. Such a special place. Definitely a highlight of our trip. Our host Assi was so responsive and helpful. We needed help with transportation and dinner reservations and he was quick to help us with all. Warm host. Beautiful home.

Nothing.

This is a beautiful house and we were lucky to have it all to ourselves. It's in a great location, close to restaurants, a grocery store, and bakery. We loved spending time in the kitchen and dining room overlooking a traditional Japanese garden. The owner, Assi, was very quick to respond and so thoughtful. He drove us to Magome and back, and he lent us his wrench set for one of our bicycles which we were able to store securely inside the property. This was a very comfortable and memorable stay. Thanks so much!
