Overall, we liked this place. It is clean and tidy. common shower and toilet is clean. The only thing is we felt we had bed bug bites. so I would recommend to the owner to improve on this part then we would have given better rating for this accommodation. A bonus surprise at this place is they provide complimentary light breakfast (eg bread, packed soup). Nice and friendly staff.

Friendly staff. I was not aware this had a shared bathroom when I booked it. Women’s bathroom is on one floor mens is on another. Extremely inconvenient when needing to go to the bathroom at night. Stairs are very small no elevator. Very hard to transport luggage up/down. Paper thin walls. They provide earplugs because of how bad the neighbor noise is…. Location is very good close to train station. Good place to schedule the hike but I cannot imagine staying here more than 1-2 nights.

Only reason why I'm rating this property 3 stars instead of 4 is due to the body odor in the room and the fact that I was unaware of not having a private bathroom prior to booking the room. Other than that, it was a great stay.

The bathrooms are shared and our room was on the 2nd floor and the men’s restroom and shower were on the 3rd floor up stairs with no handrails. The restaurant does not serve dinner only breakfast for guests and you sleep on futons on the floor and no chair in the room

Good base for Kiso Valley

Good base for a stay of a few days in the Kiso Valley - including for a day walk on part of the Nakasendo trail. Just a short walk from Nakatsugawa JR station. One suggested improvement: Provide inside slippers for tourists with big feet - those provided were impossible given I take a size UK12 shoe!

I'm glad I stayed more than one night, otherwise my rewiev had looked differently. My first night was horribel. The family next door was talking loud, stomping, slammed doors and run up down the stairs. Finally 23.30 they got quite. Unfortunately this was the night I had to get up early to walk nakasendo trail. The others night the new neighbours was quiet. And I liked the place. Nice idea with women and men floor. But was mostly men on women floor still. Showers felet safe and i never meet anyone there

The staff was very helpful, and the place was very well kept. The only problem is the bathrooms for the men are on the third floor and for the women on the second floor. For an older man who gets up a lot to use the bathroom, it meant climbing stairs Every time.

Very near Nakatsugawa JR station with friendly staff and 7-11 not too far. The corner room I stayed at had no dark curtains though - the room lit up pretty early in the morning. Shared bathroom was alright, as well as common water dispenser and microwave. Free welcome drink is nice!
