Amazing views

Guesthouse is a little further from trail and other main guesthouses, but did not disappoint. The rooftop onsen overlooking the river was incredible, and the dining space also had access to the same river. We got to try wild boar meat in our hot pot, as well as some deer meat along with our incredible meal. Hostess was incredibly kind and caring when we asked for a bandaid when my partner found a leech on his leg and wouldn't stop bleeding for a bit. She placed a dehumidifier in our shoes overnight which helped tremendously after our last day hiking in the rain.

筋肉痛にはちょっと辛い

玄関が5階で、風呂と食事のために昇り降りするときが辛かったが、風呂、立地、サービスは大変良かった。

automated translation: The entrance was on the fifth floor, so going up and down to take a bath and eat was a bit of a hassle, but the bath, location, and service were excellent.

Nice Outdoor onsens and dinners

A place with 3 Onsens ( 2 outdoor and 1 indoor ). The onsens can be used privately ( you are required to lock up the onsen door so it can be a mixed gender family onsen or serve as your group personal onsen ). There is no attached toilet in the bedroom but shared toilet ( near access ) Dinner is Hotpot and we had wild boar & deer meat on the 2 occasions as we stayed for 2 nights. Lovely views of the river from the bedrooms.

Good food and very nice onsen, a wonderful experience

The reception in this Minshuku was a bit strange, it took us a while to find somebody. The room was comfortable, although we did find the matrasses too thin. We know that this is typical for Japan and we had already some experience with this but this was the first time we did not find the bedding comfortable. The food was excellent. The nicest thing about this place was the private onsens in the building. Lying in an onsen on a balcony with a wonderful view was a dream.
