"We arrived late at night, but they were accommodating and the breakfast was delicious."

Shiosai

"It's a traditional house with traditional management. It starts, as is customary in Japan, with taking off your shoes at the entrance. You're given slippers. The owner makes sure everything is done correctly. Only Japanese is spoken, but that's no problem since there's a translator. You sleep in a room on the floor with a flat mattress, a blanket, and a cherry pit pillow. Breakfast is also traditional: fish, rice with a raw egg and soy sauce, tea, and other items. There's a wonderful onsen (hot spring). There isn't a bathroom per se, just a sink and toilet, each separate. The two owners of the guesthouse are extremely kind and helpful. We were driven to and from the restaurant free of charge. If you appreciate or want to experience traditional Japanese hospitality, this is the perfect place."

"The meal and the bath in the room were great"

"The crab was delicious. We enjoyed a full crab course: sashimi, grilled, boiled, deep-fried, crab hot pot, and crab miso. Everything was delicious. The crabs still had tags on them and were sparkling clean. They said they had been alive in the tank just moments before. How incredibly fresh! The restaurant is run by a husband and wife. Starting this year, drinks are self-serve and all-you-can-drink. There's beer, of course, but also sake, whiskey, canned chu-hi, plum wine, juice, tea, and sparkling water. There was so much to choose from, I couldn't decide. They commented that we shouldn't expect too much, but it was more than enough. The bath isn't a hot spring, but it's available for private use. If it's free, you can use it anytime. Actually, this was my third visit. I'm definitely feeling like a regular customer now."

Iwaya

"This was my second stay at Iwaya because I was impressed during the first visit a year ago. The inn is just a short walk from Shibayama station. Dinner was delicious with fresh and sweet crab done a few ways. Breakfast was wonderful as well. The whole inn and the rooms are full of charm. Thank you for the wonderful stay and the mikan. I hope many more people will know about this place and visit it."

"As everyone has said, the thoughtfulness and hospitality of the proprietress and the chef are wonderful. The inn has a Showa-era atmosphere, but it was clean and the rooms were spacious, so I was very satisfied. I plan to visit again during delicious crab season."
