Everything. The owner was very kind and friendly. Food was great. I felt like I was surrounded by the nature. Especially frogs. Great experience. I even recorded the frog sound.

None. All good.

Friendly and food was beyond expectation. Even for the kids there was enough choise.

Very real Japanese Experience with perfect attention to details by Keiko. Breakfast and Dinner where very good.

The host was very welcoming and friendly. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. Liked the neighborhood, very peaceful to walk around at.

The hosts Keiko and Noa were very friendly. The food was excellent Japanese home cooking. They catered for our vegetarian taste. The attention to detail at breakfast and dinner was lovely.

Authentic old but modernized Japanese inn, great meals, wonderful host

Was as advertised, so just to alert Europeans; bathrooms are shared and you sleep on a futon, which can take som getting used to.

Everything. Food was the best we'd had of the 5 ryokans we'd been to. Freshest ingredients right out of the garden. Keiko-san was the most amazing host! Rooms were spotless and comfortable. They even took us to the bus station by car in the morning. Bathrooms were individual yet shared, which was nice. You could even do laundry for a small fee. Can't wait to come back!

Nothing.

Fantastic hostess, food and place

The dinner is superb and can match the professional chef of a ryokan

The house is charming and welcoming. The path to the house is beautiful (there’s even a shrine on the way), some rice fields and gorgeous view of the surrounding mountains. The room was of a good size, super clean and the futon super comfy (I slept like a baby ! ). And the food… the food was delicious ! everything was fresh (as fresh as our host picked the radish from her garden 1h before our meal) and greatly prepared, the tempura were amazing!!! We spent some time discussing with the other host and were lucky to have someone from the USA that talked Japanese and could translate a few things 🥰 the breakfast was as fresh as the evening meal, with some salad, that the host picked up from her garden too,egg, fresh orange juice, home made jam with delicious toast. Keiko’s son own the coffee house on the Magome trail and make a special blend for her, a coffee like nowhere else ! Definitely one of the highlight of our trip in Japan ! どうもありがとうございます Keiko-san

The food was excellent, and the hospitality was great. Very comfortable futons!

I would have liked it to have traditional Ryokan style bathing facilities. It felt a bit like a hostel compared to other Ryokans I have stayed in. Also quite a far walk from the main town and bus stop.

My stay at the guesthouse was very memorable. It is the best accommodation I have stayed at in Japan. I would highly recommend.

Nothing! Thank you for a delightful stay.

Our stay at this guest-house was probably the most memorable of our trip to Japan. The host is a charming lady and the dinner and breakfast was fabulous. Room was lovely. A really great place to stay

All good

Keiko is the best host I’ve ever had

Nothing it was perfect

Such a special, lovely house. Beautiful food, so fresh - picked from the garden. Best meal we had in Japan. Lovely warm hosts. An absolute highlight of our trip.

There were two places we stayed that really made our trip memorable and Guest House Motomiya was one of them. It was convenient to get to (bus stop was right out the front door) and very quiet, but there was a morning rooster which we found more entertaining than annoying :). The hosts were exceptional and the food was unforgettable. We loved Magome and it was just what we were looking for - it wasn't crowded probably because Japan had just opened up for tourism. We would definitely stay again and our only disappointment was that we didn't stay longer.

Food was exceptional and great experience. Hosts were wonderful.

Nothing. We knew it was shared bathroom facilities.

This was probably our favourite overnight stay of our entire trip. The hosts were lovely, the food was fantastic, the room and beds were incredibly comfortable. If we could have we would have happily stayed longer. We have no doubt that we intend to go back in the future.

Not applicable.

Lovely place run by a top host family. Delicious dinner. Great value for money.

The food was absolutely amazing, both dinner and breakfast. They even prepared something for both kids. The owner was so warm and friendly. She entertained my daughter, who really loved her! They filled up the bath for us, which was perfect and exactly what we needed after our hike.

Honestly the only think I can come up with, was the light in the hallway that had a sensor, that lightened up the room when going to the toilet, but that's it.

A typically lovely Japanese guesthouse with a very sweet host, wonderful and perfect western breakfast!

Not a thing.

welcoming delicious good comfortable futons

loved it all

We had a very pleasant stay at Guest house Motomiya. The owners were very friendly and helpful and their house is lovely, in the charming countryside on the old Nakasendo. The room was very nice and the beds confortable. And last but not least, the diner was delicious, made of several dishes each of them tastier than the other. Everything was perfect and we highly recommend Motomiya guesthouse !

very quiet, beautiful location, with very helpful accommodating staff. the food was hearty and delicious. and the nightly bath very relaxing. perfect location to hike the Nakasendo. very comfortable beds!

It was a perfect stay. Keiko san was incredibly kind, location was perfect, the house was spotless clean, and the food was absolutely delicious! Loved it!

I would recommend this place to anybody who wants to experience the highest quality of Japanese hospitality and food. Excellent value for money!

Nothing

I originally was going to stay for 2 nights but had to have an extra night added due to heavy rains in the area which stopped all of the public transport (I couldn't get to Nagoya). The owner let me stay an extra night for free and drove me to the nearest station that was working(about an hour and half away). I'm tremendously grateful towards them! Their meals were also very tasty and healthy!!! Highly recommend this place, great service!

n/a

I arrived before checkin time and just intended to leave my luggage but Keiko-san allowed to me to checkin early. Keiko-san also prepared delicious meals, and on top of that she even offered a glass of soju as a free, welcome present! It was indeed a feast!!! Thank you Keiko-san for making my stay at Magome so homey, comfortable and memorable!

None. The place is fab! Quite a walk from the highway BUT the views along the way are fantastic!!!
