"Pleasant"

6.0

The location was really good, positioned strategically close to the main attractions of the area including Ainokura and Ogimachi. The food was quite good too.

The property is a bit run down. The onsen was okay but definitely not good value for money.

"We had a great time!"

10.0

The staff were great and made our stay feel personalised. The "home cooked meal" was a full kaiseki dinner and breakfast, including lovingly prepared meals for the children. Location was great - away from the main crowds at Shirakawa-Go, and just across from Iwase House, the largest Gass-Ho in the region, where we spent some time exploring (owner gave an English-speaking tour). Easy drive either south to Shirakawa-Go, or north to the quieter (but smaller) villages of Ainokura and Suganuma.

An insect flew into our room in the wee hours of the morning through the ventilation shaft. With some coaxing, I managed to get it out of the window.

Overpriced. We rebooked a week ago because it’s cheaper. We’re the only guests there. We were also pushed to book a dinner but declined.
