The host was kind, considerate and warm! She made our stay extremely comfortable, and the futons were the most comfortable we had ever slept on!!! Also we were going to a local onsen and she provided us with coupons! We were very pleased! I highly recommend this accommodation for its location, price and hospitality!

I didnt like that I was unable to stay longer due to my work schedule! This is a great spot and there is nothing I dislike!! <3

Satoe-san was very warm and welcoming. She made us breakfast upon request (need to order 3 days before the stay). Food is delicious, especially the firm Gokayama tofu and original dip she made! The location is perfect if you are coming from Shirakawago like us. It is in Gokayama which is also a heritage site. They have gassho houses that are equally beautiful and not as crowded as Shirakawago. We felt at home at Guest House Yamashita-ya. Hope we get a chance to stay again!

The inn-keeper, Satoe, is the absolute kindest, sweetest host you could ask for. She made us incredibly welcome and comfortable (despite rolling in with two kids and a baby!) and even brought sparklers and small fireworks for the girls to play with one night. The area surrounding is beautiful, including a little restaurant we could walk to and beautiful villages and a lovely onsen within a short drive. The location is great for visiting this region, and even farther afield destinations, like Kanazawa on the north coast, felt quite accessible from here by car.

Everything was great! People should just note the area is pretty remote by Japanese standards; both the inn itself and most sites nearby require a car (or perhaps bike / long walk on country road) to reach.

Our host was very accommodating and nice. The room we stayed in was very lovely, a great vibe to the building and a comfy place to stay. We paid for a breakfast that was unbelievably good value for money and was the best breakfast we had in our month long stay in Japan.

The owner is extremely kind and welcoming, asking about breakfast preferences, phoning up the local Izakaya to ask for their availability and even driving me to the long-distance bus station. I had the most wonderful time in Gokayama, thank you!

We had a wonderful time. Honestly, one of the best experiences in Japan as the owner is extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was also delicious!

clean and organized property, 1 min walk from the bus station. The host is welcoming, super helpful and always smiling. Everything in the property is organized and all information you need is very clear. we also had an amazing view from the window.

The host is wonderfully welcoming and even prepared us a delicious breakfast. Highly recommended for those wanting to visit the heritage sites around Ainokura and Gokayama.

very nice Host that helps you with everything and provides a nice breakfast. there is a good restaurant at 15 minutes walk and very nice onsen at 30 minutes walk.

Very helpful and friendly owners, Is a very quiet and relax place, near to the bus stop, only 5 minutes walk from the guest house.
