    The hotel is a great place to stay, a real recommandation. It is in a renovated historic building in a cute street with traditional houses (one of the main attractions in Gojo) parallel to the riverfront, you can walk along. The room was modern, spacious and very confortable with a riverside view. There is also a nice communal space with all the facilities, where you can make breakfast or dinner. The owner was very kind and helpful with suggesting and reserving places to eat and to sightsee. The place is nicely located in between and not far from attractions such as the temples at Koyasan, the blossoms at Yoshino, and archaeological sites at Akusa.

We had the best night’s sleep - the beds were so comfortable, the room was huge for 4 people and the shower had the best pressure!!! We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back - the area is absolutely stunning!

    Beautifully converted machiya in the centre of the historic district of Gojo. Absolutely incredible view over the river and mountains. The host gave perfect recommendations (go where he tells you, the Okonomiyaki and the cocktail bar were excellent) and even reserved places for us. A really exceptional and kind host who had thought of lots of ways to ensure the stay was perfect. Can’t say enough wonderful things, one of the best places we’ve stayed in Japan and definitely the best host. Only wish we’d stayed longer!

    This is a beautifully renovated old house in a quiet street of historic houses. A pleasant 10 minute walk to the station. We had a very spacious room with a view of the river behind and across to the hills.. The kitchen/dining area was well equipped. We were pleased that we had chosen here as a base for a day trip up to Koyasan.

    It's not so close to Koyasan as I thought, but it was my mistake not to calculate the distance exactly

    Very nice building in typical Japanese style with large rooms and spacious shared kitchen/living-room located in a very small calm historic village. The accommodation is close to the train station (10 minute walk) and to the public Onsen. The owner was really kind and helpuful about our stay and also for train transfers tips. Thanks a lot to Shoko ;-) who speaks perfect english too.

    Not a lot of options for eating out in the evening in the area, so research that we'll...we went to a couple of places and were turned away or they were closed. There is a Michelin-starred place in the street...

    A recently renovated traditional building, maintaining its original elegance. Huge, comfortable but sparsely furnished rooms, in a beautiful old street next to a pretty river. The owner speaks great English, but we didn't meet him or anybody actually during our two day stay, though we did chat with some of the other guests.

    nothing, service was exceptional.

    Amazing facilities, great location. It was very peaceful down a side street right alongside the river. A definite highlight was the owner operator who went above and beyond for us to help and provide information on the best spots for food and drink in the local area. Overall it was a great and relaxing experience and we will definitely be back next time we are in Japan.

    Great location in a tastefully renovated historic house in an old precinct of Gojo. The loft style apartment has a beautiful panoramic view to the Kii Mountains. We loved the contemporary facilities and comfortable beds. Our three night visit allowed us to have easy day trips by car to Koyasan, Yoshinoyama, and Matarai valley/ Dorogawa. Our host was so friendly and helpful and gave us lots of great tips. Very happy to recommend and would certainly stay again.

    Beautiful property with very large and nicely renovated rooms. Located right in the middle of the historic district, and the view of the mountains from the room is a phenomenal touch. Shogo was very friendly and helpful, and was quick to provide recommendations for places to visit nearby. Easily one of my favorite stays in Japan!!
