The food is super delicious, the rice 🍚 is amazing, the portion is very big, bigger than the average Japanese food set, a girl will eat it by herself, but she is very satisfied, she can't help but eat the rice, and the portion size of the children's meal is also amazing, but Each tastes different and prepared with great care. I highly recommend it.

Quiet & less touristy compared to Shirakawago. Quite a walk to Gassho Minshuku Nakaya from the bus stop, but owner was kind to offer us a car ride to the bus stop after we checked out. Overall very comfortable stay.

The Nakaya's were very friendly and accommodating. They served us a delicious dinner and a wonderful breakfast. Ainokura is also very beautiful in the winter. Please dont go, so that I can continue going to this minshuku.😂
