    The location is a little bit far from city center, however the owner gave me free tickets to take bus.

    Pure Japanese style house and decoration. Not so many rooms. Quiet and clean. I came early before check in time, but the owner welcomed me and gave me the suggestion about sightseeing.

    The location wasn't exactly convenient, as public transit is slow here, but it wasn't bad either.

    my host, though I never did catch his name was kind and attentive, but not intrusive. Facilities were perfectly fine, and a very good value.

    I had an amazing stay at this guesthouse. The host was incredibly welcoming. The entire place was spotlessly clean and the location is perfect.

    It is a little far from the main station, so be aware that you might need time your outings with the tram schedule.

    The host was really kind, he made conversation with me even though I speak little japanese and recommended a few spots around the area to visit. Both the house and the share rooms were more spacious than I expected, and I also got a couple of free tram tickets with my stay. Great experience.

    The accommodation was cozy and walking distance away from the nearest city tram station. The owner was friendly and goes the extra mile to get to know his guests, and provide recommendations and suggestions accordingly. Being away from Toyama city center, one can get a glimpse of a quieter neighborhood, which is a big plus.

    I liked everything.

    I love traveling around Japan on a bicycle and rarely stop in hotels, hostels, or guesthouses. I usually sleep in a tent or on a bench at a roadside station. But this time, I decided to stay in this Guesthouse Iwase to rest after my hike to Mt. Tsuguri-dake. I'm very pleased that I stayed in this wonderful place. The guesthouse owner is very friendly and caring. Right from the beginning, he showed and told me everything. The guesthouse has a very comfortable living room, a very clean shower, and a quiet shared room with 4 beds. The air conditioning prevents me from experiencing the heat outside. Due to the rain, the guesthouse owner offered to store my bicycle at the entrance, for which I am very grateful. I was able to ride the bicycle available for rent. The bicycle very comfortable and good. I rode to the center of Toyama to see the local park and sat at Starbucks. In the evening, in the living room, we sat down with the guesthouse owner and other guests, sharing our impressions of the day spent. I highly recommend this guesthouse. P.s. I also liked the house. It's in a Japanese style with european elements (the room for four people).

    Most attractions are located around the Toyama station, which was a bit far off to walk.

    Modern, clean facility.

    Adorable property with excellent staff! Upon arrival, we met some of the other guests in the common area sharing a meal. It felt like spending time with friends and family. It is a wholesome place to stay and a wonderful view into the hospitality that comes with the authentic Japanese countryside. The traditional rooms and futons were beautiful and comfortable. The parking was extremely convenient.

    The room was not big enough for 3 adults. I stayed with my American husband (6'2") & son in a 6- tatami room, I think. There was only one bath/shower. I had to wait for my turn for over 30 min. and it was close to midnight.

    The place was very clean, and futon was clean and comfortable. The owner was very friendly and kind. We enjoyed the conversation. It is close to an interesting historic district.
