Its an amazing experience. As if we were going back in time

It’s not that we didn’t like - because we knew it was part of the overall experience. But sleeping was not easy on the floor .

Definitely book the traditional Japanese dinner. A very unique experience. Onsen is nice Staff are lovely.

Accommodation is somewhat dated.

Herzliche Gastfreundschaft, exzellentes lokales Essen, reichhaltiges, leckeres Frühstück und Abendessen. Das Onsen-Bad. Bushaltestelle vor dem Haus.

Excellent location. Good food, when I got it.

Needs an update. Couldn’t tell the original color of the carpet. Maybe because it’s virtually the only game in town, right in the heart of the Gokayama area. Also I got treated weirdly with my dinner when I arrived. No idea why. I showed up on time, was the first guest to register that day, but they decided not to give me dinner though I’d paid for meals in advance. I was sent to a nearby restaurant and told I’d pay for it myself. This was all done in Japanese so I didn’t really understand what was going on. On Google maps it just says Chinese in English, its Japanese name is Kitanoya Shokudo. It somehow gets 3.8 stars, but it was the worst restaurant I have seen in Japan. Unacceptable. It reeked of smoke and had dead bugs lying around everywhere. I got gyoza and got out asap. Topped off with snacks that I brought along. It only happened the once, but it shouldn’t have happened at all.
