"A Gem in Gokayama"

10.0

Conveniently located within short drive to explore Gokayama & Shirakawa-go Gassho villages. The tatami room was very spacious and comfortable. The breakfast and dinner were sumptuous and delicious. Staff were friendly though not well versed in English but managed to communicate via Google Translate.

The shower was a bit old fashion, the toilet was near the entrance separated from the bathroom at the other end of the room. I guess nothing much can be done due to the original building architecture and design.

設備も食事も接客も良かった。加えてたまたま旅館の前の重文施設の消火訓練があり、放水の様子を見られてラッキーだった。

カメムシがいた。これは致し方ない。

"Great stay with delicious meals and friendly staff"

8.0

We really enjoyed our stay, the whole experience was wonderful. The room was spacious, well-equipped, and featured a private toilet and bathroom. Both dinner and breakfast, included in the rate, were delicious and truly part of the overall experience. The staff were polite and friendly, making us feel very welcome.

The shared onsen was a bit too hot for us, which made it difficult to fully relax, and the futon was a little hard for our taste, though that might be typical for this type of accommodation.

We had the most wonderful stay at Gokayama Onsen Akaokan and we would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. It is in a remote area which is very peaceful and beautiful. The staff were professional and efficient, yet warm and welcoming. They helped to make our stay so memorable. It was our first experience in a ryokan and we loved the traditional room and the onsen. The staff kindly prepared vegetarian meals for us and they were so delicious. There is a small store at the entrance with local crafts available for purchase. The ryokan is close to the villages of Suganuma and Shirakawago. Thank you very much for such wonderful hospitality.

Nothing. Everything was exceptional.
