Great location across the river, away from the busy tourist spots but not too far

We loved the old facilities. They prove that everything does not have to be so new to be enjoyable.

Nothing.

We stayed for 1 night. The place is clean, well-maintained, and quiet. Ofc, the staff were wonderful. They also have restaurant and the food was good. Good for a short stay in Shirakawa-go.

Wonderful location. The warmth of the owner and his wife made the stay more special. Their restaurant closes at 6pm, but they served us dinner at 8pm as we had no place to eat , as all other restaurants were closed. Went all their to make special vegetarian meal for us, we really appreciated that. Plus gave us a ride to the town. We even enjoyed beer and sake on the house with him. Lovely people and welcoming.

The side of the bed has a plank which made it really difficult to get in and out of the bed. That was the most uncomfortable.

The bathroom and shower were clean. Spacious shower and dorm. Air conditioned. Could walk to the village easily and near the bus station

It is very cold in the common areas and the bathroom.

The location and the staff were very nice

The shower rooms and toilets are shared on the ground floor. So if you need to use them at night, it could be a little inconvenient. And we could hear the footsteps when people walked passed our room. But it is alright as this is an wooden house.

This homestay was a gem about 10mins walk from the Shirakawago bus station. Opposite has a convenience store which was great. The owner Mr Sada and his wife were very hospitable, kind and very considerate. My shoes were soaked after walking in the rain and they warmed them up with a shoe warmer over the night. We had a delicious dinner - Hida beef set which was super tender. Mr Sada was very kind to offer us to have a drink with him after dinner. We had a lovely time chatting with another guest joined in too. We were very happy to stay a night in this cosy homestay in Shirakawago.

It's what you expect from a shared guest house, clean, they were friendly. It's comfortable too, we were allowed to eat our own food in the restaurant area. They had a map of the town with little notes to tell you the best places to visit. They also recommended places where you can eat around town which was helpful.

The bedrooms could do with refurbishment.

The location was good the staff were happy, informative and kind. It was raining when we left and the manager gave us a lift in his car to the station very kind.

Super cute historic building! We had sunlight-filled Japan style tatami mat room. The hostess was very friendly with excellent English. The restroom was spacious and clean. The hours of the in-house resturant were a bit limited but we made good use of the store across the street and others in town to supply all our needs after our very excellent 17:30 meal there. We got lucky and our room was ready when we arrived at 12:00 and we could leave all our things. We then enjoyed walking around the village until it was time for dinner.

Nothing everything was perfect

A very friendly place with welcoming people. The owner and the stuff was one of our best experiences. They offered a warm place with clean towels, very clean room and bathroom. I recommend it definitely and I will never forget how generous and nice the people were with us. Whoever is reading this comment it’s good for all travellers to respect their beautiful culture and people 🌸 Hope the next travellers will enjoy it as much as we did ✨ Thank you Koshiyama for your hospitality 🙏🏻

Facilities, dormitory and toilets are simple but clean and well organised. Most importantly, the hosts Yuca, Sadahiro and staff were fantastic and we spend a great evening with them. We were very happy to meet and exchange with them, truly nice people.

Wonderful friendly staff. Sada, the owner, was wonderful. We were staying for our honeymoon (as part of a bigger Japan trip) and he gave us sake, snacks, and a little memento to remember our stay by. Just the nicest people.

Sada the host has been extremely welcoming. We ended up drinking sakè together and had an amazing evening. The location is good. Just 10 mins by foot from the bus terminal and the village itself. Accommodation comes with everything you need. If you are looking for a Minsyuku experience, don't hesitate to visit Sada
