This is a top-notch experiential activity. You can have a valuable experience. You can have the experience of traveling back in time to the world of Japanese folk tales. There are over 10 dishes available, which are simple yet delicious and will fill you up. However, when I got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I looked at the thermometer and it was 0 degrees Celsius!!! Measures against the cold are a must. There was a yukata provided, but in winter it might be a good idea to have a jumper above and below the jersey. There is a stove in the room, but I left it on all night. However, in winter, snow accumulates on the gassho-zukuri roof, which gives it a nice atmosphere. The husband and wife are a nice elderly couple who look like something out of a Japanese folk tale. Recommended!!!

A valuable place where you can see Gassho-zukuri architecture. It was smaller and prettier than the house in Shirakawa-go.

Gokayama is located in the southwest of Toyama Prefecture and is one of the areas with the heaviest snowfall in Japan. Houses with large roofs were built to withstand heavy snowfall and productive activities such as sericulture were carried out. Looking at this building from the front, the steep roof looks like hands clasped together in prayer to the sky, so it is called "Gasho-zukuri". No nails were used during construction and the villagers worked together to tie it up with ropes.Gokayama Aigura Gassho Village is a World Heritage Site and is actually inhabited.The second floor of the exhibition hall displays Gassho-zukuri sericulture machinery and tools, daily utensils, handmade models, etc., recreating the lifestyle at that time. In addition, there are panels explaining the production methods of Gokayama Japanese paper and salt, photo panels recording seasonal calendars, etc., and the history and folk customs of Gokayama are displayed in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.In addition, the third floor of the exhibition hall still retains its appearance at that time, and you can see the situation of sericulture at that time.Soot-stained beams, straw ropes and other elements clearly illustrate the internal structure of the historic Gassho-zukuri house.

I stayed for one night. The mother and father at the inn are calm and kind, and their daughter comes to help during the day. Everyone is very kind and always stays with you.We have toothbrushes, yukata towels, and towels. I had a drink for dinner. We have beer and sake.

Great place to visit, much more quiet than Shirakawa with more character. Heavy snow when we went there and the scenery is just speechlessly magnificent.Great hospitality, great food and very special place to stay for a night. Highly recommended.

I think it's worth paying 300 yen (you can use PayPay) to see it.You can get a taste of the old days and the view from the second floor is also great👍👍👍

If you come to Gokayama Ainokura, this is the most important point. It seems that the current Emperor also came here to see it. It is a satisfying place not only to stay but also to sightsee inside. I heard that it is a place where two elderly people can run their business quietly, so they do not accept hectic interviews or rough responses.

The nostalgic atmosphere is wonderful. They prepare tea for you to drink, the mother's friendly atmosphere, and the food (lol) are typical of the Gokayama gassho-zukuri village.We have reserved it for private use, so you can rest assured that we are taking precautions against the coronavirus. The second floor and above are used as a museum, so you can also tour there.I have stayed at other gassho-zukuri villages before, but I recommend this one.

Very satisfied with everything!Limited to one group per day, the bath is made of cypress wood.If you're not hungry, you'll end up leaving behind a feast.My husband's story was so interesting that we ended up talking until late. Sorry.

There was a doll by the window and I took a look. The magnificent gassho-style structure made me feel like I had traveled back in time.

You can tour the gassho houses for a fee. Although the house is dimly lit, it is a fine house. On the second floor, there are exhibits on sericulture and local products.

My first gassho-zukuri night stay. After this, we spent a second night in Shirakawa-go, and this place definitely had a more authentic atmosphere. Lacquered fittings and luxurious upholstery. It reminds us of the prosperity of the past. You can tour up to the third floor and study with many photographic materials. Maybe it was because of the coronavirus, but I wasn't allowed to stay overnight, so I wasn't able to talk about the past as much as others said, which was a shame. It's a blessing to have a fire lit in the hearth and to be able to drink tea from a tea kettle at all times. You can park your car in front of the entrance. We are thankful for the fact that we are limited to one group per day. If I have the opportunity, I would like to stay at this inn again.

Everyone was very nice, the food was delicious, the tea from the Bunbuku tea kettle was delicious, the wooden bath was soothing, and the space surrounded by the hearth felt somehow nostalgic, so we sat around the kota and talked all night. It was so much fun sleeping with 4 people on 2 futons ❣️😊 I'm really glad I stayed here 💓Everything was wonderful, but what I would like to highlight is the dinner❣️The carp sashimi, the whole char, the old luxury herring, the wild vegetables, and the hard and isoflavone-filled Gokayama tofu were all very crispy. Both the tempura and the vinegared wooden ears were irresistible ❣️I was really full, but when the miso soup with steamed egg custard, Gokayama tofu boiled tofu, and cute gluten came, I felt a happy stomach ache😂💖 It’s amazing how the four of us finished all the rice in the rice cooker 😂I can confidently recommend it to everyone❗️
