It was a good experience staying in a true Japanese hotel with common toilet n shower. We weren't used to it athough it was a new experience. The hotel staff was friendly and knowledgeable to advise on the luggage transfer and bus transfer. Also, another plus point is that a staff came to help us bring our luggages up the stairs on level 2.

Common toilets and shower areas. No elevator

Amazing location - easy starting point for alpine route, great access to supermarkets and restaurants Helpful staff You can organise luggage transfer with reception V authentic - sleep on floor and no en suite.It's not a bad thing but some western travellers may be surprised. Felt safe even in magnitude 2.8 earthquake!!

Comfortable stay in a traditional Japanese guest house. Room was quite spacious (quadruple room for 2 of us) with a low table and chairs without legs. The lady at reception was very pleasant and efficient. Shared bathroom facilities were very good. Excellent location just a short walk from the bus stop for the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. Great view of the mountains from the roof terrace. Would recommend.

The staff were really kind and allowed us to leave our luggage there when we went on our round trip up Tateyama. Onsen was comfy for 2 people and the tatami beds were comfortable too! Good value for money in Omachi and super close to the station.

There was a constant smell of smoke due to the yakiniku place next door. Smoking room was also right next to the entrance. We all got sore throats after one night..

Check in and check out were smooth, we could pay by card. The room was big enough for backpackers. There wasn’t many people so the shared bathroom wasn’t crowded. There are toilets and small kitchen on every floor. You can go to the roof with a nice view to enjoy some beer.

The futon was too firm for me but nicely warm.

Good communication with the owner beforehand. Perfect location near the train station and the bus station to Ogisawa. Our luggage were taken care of by the owner in the morning and were waiting for us at Toyama station after doing the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. Very nice Ryokan overall with confortable futons.

A truly heartwarming and unforgettable experience in a quaint setting. The family running the place was extremely accommodating and kind. Everything was so clean. The public bath was great and views were incredible.

We stayed here the night before we went on the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route and it was the perfect stopover. Really lovely staff, clean, quiet and a great location. Its simple, but charming, and they can arrange the baggage transfer to Toyama :) Note: bathroom is shared, slippers are provided for wearing indoors and you might want to bring a sleep mask as the blinds are not opaque.

Basic place that is very handy for starting (or ending) the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. Good shared baths, basic tatami mat rooms and decent wifi. We liked that we could send our bags ahead to Toyama directly from the hotel. Plus, it was less than a 5-minute walk from the train station and bus to Ogizawa.
