The house and location are fantastic. Gujo-Hachiman is a beautiful city, and the home was perfect for what we needed. It felt like being inside someone's family home. Masa went well above and beyond to help us - there was heavy rain overnight which caused landslides on the main exits from the city. Masa found a route we could take, and guided us over an hour in his car so we could leave (Google maps kept telling us to go on closed roads) so we would likely have been stuck without his help. Thanks again!

A wonderful stay at a classic Japanese house! The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, taking the time to explain everything about the home and the city of Gujo. He also gave us an excellent recommendation for a local izakaya, which was the perfect spot for dinner. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic and personal experience!

No complains. Everything was better than expected.

The house is amazing. The village is magical. And Masa is a wonderful kind helpful host. We want to come back.

We had a wonderful stay! The location is perfect—just a short walk to the temples and everything in town. The area is beautiful and peaceful, making it easy to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Our host, Masa, was amazing—so kind, helpful, and attentive. He picked us up when we arrived and even dropped us off when we left, which made everything so easy. The house was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. We felt very comfortable and well taken care of. We highly recommend visiting this lovely town and staying at the Nomad Inn. You won’t regret it!

The house was very traditional and located in the historic area. Easy walk to lots of sites and the castle. The house was well equipped. The hosts were very nice and greeted us on arrival. It was an unexpectedly awesome stop, we wish we could have stayed longer. The house and area was extremely quiet, it is expected that guests are very quiet also.

Renovated historic home brings comfort and a authenticity to modern travelers. You can tell that Masa takes great care of his home. Locations in a residential neighborhood 5 minutes away from downtown is convenient and peaceful. We were lucky to have found this hidden gem!

It was quite cold when we arrived but it warmed up quickly with the air conditioner, although it didn't reach the bathroom area.

The attention of the owner is great. If you are are looking for an authentic Japanese old town house, this is the place for you. Futons were nice.

This is a great place to stay if you’re travelling Japan. The host is just so lovely and the location is magical. It’s well worth going! The only thing to be aware of is the fact the bathroom is on the floor below where you sleep, which can be a bit stressful for those who are needing it closer (I was pregnant at the time). But despite that, I would still rebook because Gujo is magical and this spot feels very special with a lovely host

There is nothing to dislike about the Nomad Inn. It’s a beautiful house with gorgeous views. The owner, Mr Masa is a very sweet person who was always happy to give suggestions and guide us. He helped us with our luggage and transportation as well, I can’t thank him enough. The house is close to attractions while being in a quiet area and also has all amenities you would need. I really wish I’d booked more time but will definitely be back

The rooms were a little cold for winter, but plenty of heaters were provided.

Masa-san was an amazing host. Helpful with our late check-in and recommendations for the local area. The house had everything we needed and was very clean and spacious. It is a traditional house so rooms had tatami and futons. Restaurants and stores were within walking distance and there was parking close by. We will be back.

What didn't I like! Honestly, it's one of the greatest spots and places I've stayed in Japan. Throws you back to a family house you never had with all the nostalgia of how i imagine weekends away were as a child at grandparents or aunts. The location, township, and people, especially our host, were nothing short of amazing

Nothing, it was all wonderful.

We had an amazing time in Gujo Hachiman! This house was incredible - the reviews do not lie. Masa was the most welcoming host and may be one of the kindest people we have ever met. If you are thinking of booking the Nomad Inn, just do it! You will have a lovely and peaceful time in Gujo Hachiman just like us.

Nothing much except eating places and restaurants close very early. Make sure you've already bought something or eat before dark

We love everything about it

This is a wonderful place to stay in Gujo if you would like to experience what it’s like to live here! With a view of Gujo Hachiman castle from the upstairs window, this house and town are simply great. Quiet, comfortable, within walking distance of what you come here to see. The owner, Masahiro-San, will treat you like family, and his advice about what to see and where to eat is spot on. If you cannot carry your suitcase up the steps to the upper floor, you can bring the futons downstairs and sleep on the heated floor. We came here with another couple and we all loved this house and Gujo. Ask Masa-San to pick you up at the station, if he can he will! The great reviews are very deserving, if you like Japanese style living you will like Nomad Inn. The 6 am. temple bell will remind you every morning what another world it is here!

Typical Japanese style house in a traditional looking street. Fantastic location terrace looks out onto a river. It is simply charming. Masa the host is exceptionally helpful. Offered lift to and from bus stop and also had two bicycles which were allowed to use. Gave really useful advise.

The location was perfect, the home had everything you need. The two bikes were really handy for getting around. Goju Hachiman is a fantastic small town. I recommend the plastic food making experience and retro museum, along with the carp ponds near the town hall.

Host Masahiro, an easy going person and quick to respond to all queries. Nestled in the old district and within distance to all attractions in Gujo. However the stairway going up to the bedrooms is steep and a challenge to older folks. Otherwise a beautiful ryokan to experience Japanese living.

The location of the place is amazing. The owner is super nice and gives recommendations for the area. The entire house with terrace overlooking the river can be used. Definitely one of my favorite places so far.

A very kind owner of the house, who waited for me as my bus was a little delayed and drove me to and from the bus station on both my arrival and departure days.

The owner is friendly and provides a lot of travelling info. The house is in the downtown area and is well maintained. The kitchen has the necessary utensils for cooking.
