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.

This place is an absolute gem! Located right in the historic part of Takayama, which is very atmospheric. The accommodation is like a small apartment on two floors, is newly renovated, and has everything you need. Best of all, it has the most comfortable, cozy beds I've ever slept in! The host is also very friendly and welcoming.

The host was super sweet. She will make sure you make the best of your time in Gifu. I didn’t have much of an itinerary so she voluntarily made dinner and brought me to a mountaintop onsen. She will fuss over you like a mom would. I had a mosquito bite and she was so stressed! Her home was also very clean and comfortable. She made a wonderful breakfast for me before I left. This stay was one of the best memories of Japan and I hope to stay here again. Oh and she is very easy to contact with. She speaks minimal English but is very efficient over electronic communications. She also offers to drive you from to and from the station. I really can’t say enough good things!

The lounge area was spacious, air-conditioned and well restored to allow a gathering place for my party to hangout and debrief the days activities. Sitting behind a cafe was fantastic allowing for seamless access and luggage hold, and extra bathrooms if needed

Lovely host. Was very welcoming and the rooms were very clean and felt traditional. They let us leave our bags there after we had checked out so we could explore Takayama more which was nice. Well located within a short walk from stores, the bus station and the nice areas with all the little shops.

Stayed here twice. Yumiko and Suguru were both so kind and helpful throughout the stay – they were great hosts, always sharing snacks and night-time chats with me. I'm so thankful for their care and hospitality throughout my stay. If you like interacting with locals, and finding out more about Japanese craft and culture, stay here! It's a beautiful, restful home.

Lovely accommodation and lovely host! This guesthouse was so cute and the host really went out of his way to make my stay comfortable. The kitchen is amazing and there is free tea and coffee, and if you’re not wanting to venture out for a meal there’s noodle packets and snacks for a VERY cheap price! Common area is lovely and spacious :)

The guesthouse is a beautiful 110 year old traditional wooden structure. The futon was very comfortable, all the facilities were great, and the room was spotless. Assi was a great host. I'd recommend Guesthouse Shigi to anyone visiting the Kiso Valley!

Great hostel to stay in takayama. I slept in two different rooms, one private with tatami and private bathroom and one mixed dorm. The private room is cozy and the mixed dorm is the best dorm I have seen in Japan. Big dorm with lots of space for luggage and lockers for valuables. Has a 7/11 right next to it
