The owners are super nice, we came with motorcycles during a roadtrip through Japan, the owner had space for our bikes in his garage, and even though we were to late for dinner he made an exception - the stew was superb and delicious, combined with a cold beer - exceptional stay. All facilities were clean. The futon beds are as good as they get and the guest house in general was very nice. Thank you for having us, if we come back to your area, we will check in again.

everything was great

Our stay at Guest House Takazuri-KITA was a highlight of our trip to Japan. The traditional house is beautifully preserved, peaceful, and surrounded by stunning nature — perfect for relaxing and experiencing the charm of Gokayama. The hosts were warm and welcoming, and the house itself was clean, spacious, and full of character. One of the best parts was renting electric bicycles directly from the property — super convenient and a great way to explore the area without hassle. Everything from the cozy tatami rooms to the quiet surroundings made our stay memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience rural Japan in comfort.

Nothing

The accommodation is clean and comfortable. Kota & Kanako very friendly and responsive. It’s located at quiet place which you can totally relax and doing nothing just enjoy the social setting with cafe. Surrounded by nature landscape. Too bad we just stayed one night. It’s lovely place and we definitely will come back again!

It’s clean.

The owners were nice and picked me up from the nearest bus stop, and dropped me off after checking out. The area is quiet and secluded.

Guest House Takazuri in Japan has a warm and friendly atmosphere. The hosts are very nice and speak English well. Although I was sick for half of my stay, the hosts were kind and made sure I was comfortable. The food at the guest house was amazing—delicious, homemade Japanese dishes that I really enjoyed. Even though I wasn’t feeling well, I could tell the hosts put great care into the food and their service. It’s a lovely place with great people, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Very nice guest house in a slightly remote and calm area, which was just what we were looking for. We rented an ebike for a small fee to explore the surroundings. Dinner and breakfast were great and the hosts were very friendly. We would book it again. Arigato Gozaimasu!

Don’t forget to take toothbrush and make sure if you need anything from convenience store, there is no supermarket and kunbini near the hotel ,,

I had a fantastic stay at Takazuri Kita Guest House last weekend! The owner was incredibly helpful and welcoming, making me feel at home from the moment I arrived. His wife was also extremely kind, hardworking, and attentive to all guests, making sure everyone had a comfortable stay. Their child is absolutely adorable, adding even more warmth to the friendly atmosphere. The guest house offers a cozy mixed dormitory perfect for travelers who want to meet others while experiencing a genuine Japanese ryokan vibe. The ambiance was calm and relaxing, ideal after a day exploring Shirakawa-go. Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic hospitality and a memorable stay! I would definitely come back again.

It was truly a stunning location that left me with an indescribable feeling. The walk there was breathtaking, and everything was so clean and beautiful. The hosts were incredibly sweet and welcoming! As a first-time solo traveler who was quite anxious, I was amazed at how the environment instantly put me at ease. They were also so helpful in planning my time/transportation in Nanto, making my experience even more enjoyable and stress free. I felt so comfortable and cozy that I don’t even remember falling asleep after my long day of exploring :) The food was also absolutely delicious, and I was genuinely sad to leave.

Everything! If only I can rate it more than 5 star I will. The kind and warm welcome of the family host, comfortable bed, clean, cozy and homey stay & the food prepared was delicious and healthy (vegetables were organically grown by the owners from their garden). The area is surrounded with natural landscape too from rivers to mountains and it’s even more beautiful during the winter to walk around and enjoy the view.

Nothing it was a great place to stay

It was lovely up in the hills and easy to find. Get the bus from Shirakawago and enjoy the scenery! The host offered us tea on arrival and showed us around the place. Dinner was offered with vegetarians catered for at 1600 yen each and breakfast for 800 yen each. You make your own bed in the bunks, we went in January and had the whole room to ourselves was super cute and a great place to unwind and slow down during what can be a hectic travel itenrary

To reach the guesthouse you need a car or you need to walk for 15 minutes from the bus stop. It's not a big deal but just to know.

The host family is so kind that you would like to stay with them more days! They can help you with all your need and the room is very comfortable! We will come back one day, and stay there more to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere! You can reach Ainokura or Shirakawago thanks to the bus and we suggest you to visit Ainokura because is a magic place!

The only thing that I didn't like is that I had to leave 🤪.

EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE! The hosts are amazing, great cozy place with great cozy ambiance. They have a lovable little boy that's very social, and just the whole feel of the place and the family is simply amazing! Super recommended ! It was almost painful to leave and I ALREADY WANT TO GO BACK! Also they're very helpful all the time; they show you in the right direction and on what to do around, even rent you an e-bike so you can make your way around ♡ Magnificent

The only "weak" point is accessibility. This is the downside of the enormous advantage of being hidden in the montages. Indeed, public transport is not very well served, and requires cash. Personally, the next time I go back, I'll take a rental car to be freer of my movements. With this tip, we've eliminated the only problem with this wonderful place.

Kota was very responsive by message, and understanding of my requests The welcome was very warm and helpful. They even advanced us part of the cab fare because we didn't have enough cash and they also took us from the house to the cash dispenser. All this without mentioning the typical house, which is just magnificent. In short, a real favorite, I highly recommend it.
