Shingu Guest House 奏

The property was a pleasant and convenient place to stay within easy walking distance from the train station and the numerous sites we wanted to visit.

We were there 2 nights and since there are no staff onsite it would have been helpful to know if there would be other guests or not (there were one night but not the other).

Beautiful traditional home, well located in Shingu for food and station

Was lovely to have push bikes to use for free!

Beautiful house! Very clean with spacious rooms and helpful staff

I had a very nice stay at Shingu Guest House! The lady in charge was really nice and quick to answer my questions via private messages. The room was spacious with a private sink and the futon was surprisingly very confortable (I've slept on a lot of different ones so I can tell the difference). You have access to a small kitchen with a microwave as well. The stairs to the room were very steep so if you have an issue with that maybe reconsider or try to contact the guest house, they have a room on the first floor. The house is 10 min walk from the station and less than 2 min walk from the nearest bus stop.

We liked the size of the bedroom (tatami floor, with space to stretch) and access to our own basin (note the main bathroom / toilet on the ground floor were shared). The futon mattresses were comfortable. The guesthouse was in a quiet street, and only a short walk from the train station and places to eat. The host was welcoming and responsive and gave a helpful tour of the house and facilities. We appreciated having access to the shared kitchen and fridge and also to bicycles.

We wished for cotton bed linen and towels (rather than polyester). The stairs to our bedroom were steep - that was okay for us but would pose problems for anyone with a disability or if travelling alone with heavy luggage.
