We came to the village in mid March and it was still cold and snowing. We arrive at the town via bus from Takayama and were early for checking in but we were able to drop off our bags. Great host, very nice lady who immediately offered us the free use of their waterproof boots when they saw we had running shoes which will get bitterly cold and wet walking around in the early spring snow. The inn is run by just the old lady owner and her husband. She did all the cooking. Dinner was fantastic and breakfast was great too. Had a few round of rice refill on my bowl.We spent a night only and decided to take a walk out after dinner for a view of the night dark sky in the village since we know the cities won’t offer us this dark sky opportunity. We were lucky the skies cleared up in the night and we had a fantastic experience looking at the stars. My son was lucky to manage to witness the starlink satellite streaming across the skies over the village. We also witness a fox scavenging around the houses at night in the snow.Seeing the village in the snow is truly magical. Hope to come back in spring or summer when the village will be covered green.

The old lady is very enthusiastic to help prepare breakfast and dinner. There are electric blankets and heaters in the house, and she will help lay out the quilt. It is a very traditional Gassho Village house. You can come and experience it.

We stayed in this B&B for one night, including dinner and breakfast. Although the temperature during the two days was very cold at 13 degrees in the morning and 4 degrees at night, heating was provided and it was very comfortable indoors. The B&B has a stipulated bathing time of 5 p.m. During the period of 9 pm, the lights need to be turned off at 10:00 pm, and breakfast is always at 7:30, so it is not suitable for people who like to drink and lively at night. Breakfast and dinner are basically simple Japanese meals. The price per person per night is about NT$2,300. This CP value is already very high quality for me.

I visited Issa this summer for the first time in about 10 years.The first time I visited was in the winter of 2009.When I visited on a snowy day, I was greeted warmly.Since then, I've been visiting him every year, but due to work and other busy schedules, we've been estranged for 10 years, but it was nice to be able to meet him again after such a long time.I had the impression that it would be cool the night I stayed, but it was a tropical night (lol)But it was fun. I will visit you again in winter!
