The mamasan at Goyomon was the best!! We enjoyed our stay here so much, dinner and breakfast were excellent, the room was very comfortable. We stayed here in November and it was pretty cold outside but there were plenty of heaters in the house to stay warm. The rooms are all adjacent to one another with sliding panel doors that separate them, so be mindful not to make noise. There is a very nice bathing room here which is open to use during any time. The village of Ainokura is very remote, quiet, and absolutely beautiful. Spend some time walking around the village, go make some Washi paper, and explore the museums which show how the village came to be and the very interesting construction methods of the houses there.
If tranquility of rural life you are looking for, this is the place to be It is less touristy and very peaceful.Time almost stood still.
Very pleasant minshuku and very good dinner and breakfasts
A good lodge with kind staff who cooks very well.
Good place to stay in this area. This gassho village (Ainokura) is small, charming and relatively quiet. Goyoman itself is a gassho house and ryokan. It is moderately priced, I suppose due to the single shared bathroom and shared toilet. Dinner and breakfast are included (both are very good) and there is free WIFI. The room are japanese style, sleeping on futon. The hostess is very nice and works non-stop.
Goyomon house is located in the middle of a stunning and well-maintained village. The hostess speaks some English and was quite charming. The Ryokan has a shared bath, toilet, and common area. There was also air conditioning in my room. The food was a delight as well: Definitely recommended.
