We loved staying at Shimaya. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. In particular, the owner was quite a character who went out of his way to help us. He drove us to and from the Monkey Park twice - we just had to phone him when we wanted to be picked up. He suggested other interesting places to visit and restaurants to eat at. He also drove us to the station when we left. We thoroughly recommend Shimaya. And the snow monkeys were really fascinating and well worth a visit - or two!

We enjoyed our stay at Kawaguchi-ko Station Inn very much. The tatami mat rooms were clean and came stocked with green tea and teapot and teacups. The staff was helpful and there was free Internet available. The ofuro (hot bath) was also very good. The location was also excellent, being very near the station. All in all, we enjoyed our stay very much as the Station Inn had the feel of a home away from home.

We were treated really well. We has snacks and hot towels brought to our room, our futon was set up and put away for us, they serve you dinner in your room if you request it and the bath was so relaxing at the end of the day. Our room had everything we needed, it was spacious and there was a fridge, a safe, a tv and a closet. Overall this place was excellent.

We enjoyed our stay at the Kuwataniya very much!
This staff is extremely helpful land even assisted in booking a ferry for a later port of our journey! The food is excellent and in our opinion, anybody staying at this minshuku will do well ordering breakfast and dinner as well - the value is insuppressible.The location of this minshuku could not be better! It is located very near to the train station and also very conveniently for sightseeing.We used the minshuku bicycles to quickly reach all main sights of the city including point well outside of the center (Hide Folk Village).Not to be forgotten, the minshuku also offers a hot bath.All in all, we were pleasantly surprised and had a truly Japanese experience!
One suggestion: perhaps it would be possible to use the hot bath as private, family baths for limited hour in the future.

The building and the rooms are a bit old,but it is a real japanese house, so is an interesting place to be. The location is really good, very close to the main station and some interesting places to visit. The only bad thing:it has only one shower fot all the guests.
