“Extraordinary stay in beauty and comfort, excellent food and the most friendly hostess of all time”

I have travelled extensively in Japan for decades and this was one of the most extraordinary stays of all my time in the country. The beauty of Juju-An - building as well as surroundings - the comfort, tranquility, supremely well-cooked country-style food. The hostess was one of the most friendly creatures of all time, offering to drive me around to local sights and locations (it should be mentioned that I was the only guest at the time). This place is really to be highly recommended. Try it!

“House owner Aki san is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the stay very much especially like the barbecue dinner at t”

A very traditional Japanese house with 160 years history. Very quiet and comfortable environment surrounded by trees and mountain

Great hospitality of the proprietor, very comfy bedding, and hearty meals.

“Traditional Japanese Homestay Experience.”

We absolutely loved our stay here. When driving in you are surrounded by mountains and it's so peaceful. We took this time to rest and enjoy the beautiful traditional Japanese home. You can get dinner for 5000 yen, which includes venison or 3500 without venison. It was a beautiful meal and a lot of food. The beds were one of the most comfortable from our entire trip, and the fluffy bedding was a dream. There are a few things in the direct area you can walk to view, the dam, which is pretty impressive. Thank you for giving us this experience. There is an onsen about 8km away at a hotel in town, we hoped to use but last entry is 7.15pm. We used facilities at the accommodation and were happy with them.

The house, location and host seem coming straight out of a Miyazaki film. Everything was beautiful. We had also dinner and it was a good traditional country style japanese dinner. Just for us. The host is very nice and welcoming 🙏 😊.

Excellent owner !

Hida-Kanayama, Excellent place. Juju-an, Excellent guest house. That is why I visit Hida-Kanayama and stay at Juju-an twice.

The best most comfortable sleep we had in 3 weeks in Japan. Our host was very lovely. Great stay ! Thankyou
