Pros:Really beautiful old buildings.Well-kept and tidy.Cons:In general, it's lacking love and thought. For example:- when we checked in and were shown around in the early afternoon, all the blinds / curtains were drawn - the whole welcome tour was in darkness- there are no living plants in the place.- the welcome items feel quite spartan.- the provided crockery feels incomplete, like the people who provided it have never stayed there / really thought about staying thereBottom line - if you want to stay in an historic building, and a really beautiful one, this is your chance. But don't expect to be made to feel super at home.

As noted by the other reviewers, we stayed in one of the 3 renovated classical buildings, in the samurai district. I don’t know what we expected, but we couldn’t have anticipated a more beautiful, elegant and thoughtfully decorated space. …

There is so much care and thought put into every element of the space to retain the roots of the kura, yet also be beautifully traditional and functionally modern.  …

What an astonishing place! If you're looking for a more authentic experience, this is a great choice. Although it is very Japanese in character it also has concessions to older western visitors. …

With samurai armor being displayed in the entrance, katana sheathed on top of your bed, and bar counter to serve your friends sake - This is definitely my recommended place for anyone looking to time travel to get a feel of traditional Japanese housing. Make sure you bring a couple of your friends as the place is big!

In the hotel next to the station, the counter is not only responsible for the business accommodation in this building, but also responsible for the check-in of three independent historical accommodations.If you arrive at Kakunodate by train, after checking in, the service staff will drive the shuttle bus to take the guests to their accommodation; if you drive by car, follow the shuttle bus and there will be an exclusive parking lot. After arriving at the destination, the service staff will drive the guests to their accommodation. Introduce and explain the history and equipment of the monument.The Samurai Store we stayed in this time belongs to the Nishinomiya family's warehouse. The master bedroom is on the second floor and the bathroom is on the first floor. It is a historic site after all, so people with bad legs and feet will have a harder time.There are no other bedrooms except the master bedroom. If there are more than two people, the other people should sleep on the tatami without partitions.The breakfast service staff will deliver it to your accommodation and place it on the table in the living room.There is no need to go back to the station counter to go through any formalities when checking out. You just need to close the door and leave.
