We were in an amazing little house opposite the main building. It felt very traditional. It was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Iwato is a lovely small village and we really enjoyed exploring the shrine and the little shops surrounding it.

“Good location for Gorge, adequate room and facilities”
Location was good for Takachiho Gorge the next day. Town was small and easy walking access to it. A different small town experience. Room was large and adequate and I guess you get what you pay for

“A private, fully equipped cabin at the price of a bed, with great amenities and a helpful host who shared useful info in”
You get your whole cabin with tv, fridge, microwave, private toilet, aircon and with loft bed. It’s a full room at the price of a bed!!! At such an incredible price. Amazing!!! Also the host were very nice and telling me important information beforehand in messages before reaching the place.

“Great value nd family-friendly”
The room with the private bathroom and outdoor bath was ideal for our family of four (including an infant and a toddler). Very spacious with a separate living and sleeping area. Host was also very friendly. Everything felt old school which was cute, even the kettle was on the stove not electric.

We got a one room house to ourselves and it was very clean and well maintained! There was even a board game relating to takachiho which was fun and informative. Overall it was much better than we expected from the price.
