Since Kakunodate is small, it is easy to get anywhere. The place has bicycles that guests can use and there is a wonderful bike and walk trail near by. There is 7/11 just around the corner. The beds were specious and comfortable. Dormitory style. The owner speaks English and is very kind and helpful even though she wasn't there most of the time. we were helped by her to get transportation to the hike we went on.

The common sitting area could benefit with some airing. I took a shower after another guest and it was quite dirty. Despite it being a small town, it is too far to go to the train with luggage and we couldn't find a Taxi. Eventually we walked to 7/11 and asked them to call a taxi for us. maybe have some more information for that purpose available at the GH would help.

The owner of the GH is kind and very helpful. The beds are spacious and comfortable. The location is right next to 7/11 so it's convenient. There are bicycles that guests can take and it makes everything very near. There is a taiku drumming school right next to the GH, maybe ask to watch. We only learned about it when we left.

It is far if you need to carry the luggage to the train station so you need to take a taxi. The owner wasn't there to help so we ended up going to 7/11 for help. The shower looked like it was used by other people and it wasn't so pleasant.

The guesthouse is ran by a very cheerful and helpful lady. The price was excellent fir a stay during peak sakura. The location is fine, though we had suitcases to drag the 15 minute walk from the train station.The room was small but beds comfortable. The shared toilet was just outside room but the shower is in an adjaceant building. The Japanese breakfast was very good.

The shower location is a bit awkward and getting our suitcases up the narrow steps was hard.

It was close to the station and the main attractions (samurai houses). There was also free bikes for loan which was really nice. We used them to bike to Dakigaeri valley (9 km each way - approx. 1 hour). The host was nice and helpful and spoke English really well.

It was a bit expensive for what you got. There was only one toilet and one shower shared by all rooms (4). And no proper kitchen (there was a kettle, microwave and fridge), but for a few days it was perfect

Despite arriving to the property quite late, the host was very hospitable and took her time to explain and show all the facilities to me. Also the room I had was completely private and very spacious, with the sink and restroom being quite close. Pretty close to the main Kakunodate sightseeing spots, and having a bike rental option available was nice.

The shower room is in a completely separate building, so that was a little bit inconvenient. But overall, it was a very nice stay for those visiting Kakunodate and I would highly recommend it.

Lovely owner, big room, plenty of free tea, and a hearty breakfast. Really enjoyed the two nights I spent here. Day-tripping is possible to Nyuto Onsen, ideally with a car but I made the bus work. About 10 minutes walk to the centre of Kakunadote.

I did get woken up by the dog in the morning but went back to sleep pretty quickly.

The guesthouse feels like a homestay. It's Japanese style with a spacious tatami living room, but with beds in the dormitory, very comfortable sleeping quarters. The toilet is in the garage just next to bedrooms, but there's no sink downstairs. You brush your teeth in the kitchen. There's a small oven and microwave, and tea bags. It's convenient to the Samurai street, and the onsen (700 ¥) is just 5 minutes away.

Great location, close to the station and near the samurai houses. The host is very nice and helpful. She offered complimentary water, tea, and coffee along with some toiletries. The rooms were cozy, beds were comfortable, and had plenty of heaters and an AC. We loved the free bike rentals which are perfect for the area as it's all flat. Everything was very clean and we had strong wifi connection.

The shower is in a separate building which is a little uncomfortable espuring during the cold but the shower itself was nice.

Owner was lovely. Did a tour of the place. Bikes available, if wanted. Comfy shared space. Bed was comfy.

The boards on the floor outside the toilet aren’t level and every time you step on them it makes a loud bang as it rocks. Just needs something wedged beneath to level it and therefore quieten it down

The hostess is one of the sweetest humans you will ever meet. She went out of her way to ensure my comfort, supporting requests and making suggestions. Hearty conversation and free sake! I loved meeting this lady and staying in her very well located and decent place.

Nothing, it's a great place for an amazing price!
