We only planned to do one night in Shirakawa, but with the price point of Guest House Kei, we decided to stay one more night. The property was lovely, and the staff were very friendly, specifically Ken, who gave us great recommendations for our journey onwards. The beds were very comfortable, and the facilities were clean. The property had free parking as well, which was very convenient. They also offered a shuttle service to and from the bus terminal.

Cosy traditional Japanese style decor with all you need kitchen and bathroom amenities, good WiFi and comfortable futons. It was a very pleasant stay and I would highly recommend if you're looking for a traditional Japanese home experience and want to explore nature off the beaten touristy paths.

this is a magical place. The place is actually better than the photos. The house is right on the walkway between Migome and Tsumago. The owners are such beautiful people and they will drive you wherever you need to get to for free. Truly the highlight of our Japan holiday. We highly highly recommend this place.

The guesthouse is wonderful, very relaxing, with very clean rooms and super-friendly hosts! It's only a 1-minute walk from the beautiful Ohama Kisima beach. The meals are excellent and it's possible to have breakfast in the morning waiting for you in a basket in the room, great!

The traditional style of the Inn was charming and we really appreciated the lovely, friendly and welcoming host. The location is fairly good as only about 7mins from the station. The beach is about 15minutes walk.

New guesthouse and everything is new. Host has created a good and relatively comfy place to stay and hang and mingle. Bedrooms are clean and very spacious. Host is friendly and wish her well and good running of her guesthouse. There's a great sports apparel shop and an award winning bento set supermarket nearby. House slippers are provided as well as basic toiletry, kitchenette except toothbrush. Big balcony to dry clothes out but no provision of washing machine.
