We stayed only for a night, but very comfortable. Surrounded with mountains. I loved it! Better to stay here if you have a car. It is like 10-15mins drive from Takachiho Gorge.

Tiny but very neat and well maintained ”

Room is small but equipped with TV, very clean futon and big window. Toilet & bathroom are very clean.Toothpaste & toothbrush for free but towel is chargeable. Kitchen is not for cooking but you have kettle, microwave, utensils (no plates), free teas, milk , sugar. Surrounding view is breathtaking if you can drive in a car or in a bus (bus stop is next to the guest house). This is 8 km away from Takachiho George, 300 meters away from a small grocery store, 300 meter away from a very popular shrine.

Close to Amanoiwato Shrine! Clean, spacious room”

Trip recommendation: arrive here in the evening; go to Amanoiwato shrine area in the morning, take the 11:30-ish bus back to Takachiho city center and go to the gorge from there. 🏪There is a supermarket nearby, not open late. There are no convenience stores. 🚌close to the Iwate bus stop, but be sure to check the times because the last bus leaves Takachiho city center (Miyakoh Bus Center) around 6:30PM-ish. ⛩️close to the Amanoiwato shrine. 🛏️The room was very spacious. When you check out, don't fold up your futon, they'll clean it up. They held my luggage when I went to the shrine.

とても良かったです。”

とても良かったです。遅くなったのにとても親切に対応してくれました。みかん食べ放題です。またお茶もたくさん持っていて下さいって親切に行ってくださいました。トイレもウォシュレット付きでとても清潔だし、お湯とかインスタントコーヒーもあります。ただお風呂はありません。シャワーのみです。こちらを利用する方に伝言することですが、まずこの場所はすぐ道沿いなのでわかります。近くにコンビニはありません。また食べるところもありません。高千穂郷の方から来る時、天の岩戸神社に行く交差点のところにファミマがあるので、そこでコンビニ飯を買っていくことをお勧めします。ほんとにお値段も安いし、親切だし、清潔だし、言うことありません。本当にお世話になりました。ぜひぜひこちらをご利用なさってください。お部屋も社長室とか、副社長室とか専務室とか分かれてて面白いです。ちなみに私は副社長室でした。

今までで一番のゲストハウス”

初めての高千穂滞在に利用しました。気ままな1人旅なので宿泊は安さ重視で選びましたが、1人でも1棟貸切なので、周りを気にせずに過ごせます。 夜遅くに到着しましたが快く出迎えて下さり、スタッフさんもとても親切です。 何よりとても掃除が行き届いていて、お仕事の丁寧さが伺えます。 露天風呂は手作り感もありますが、元々が土木系の宿舎や事務所だそうで機能的に造られています。 高千穂は夜に開いているお店が少なく、このご時世でさらに短縮営業しています。 キッチンがあるお部屋は自炊も出来るので、私も簡単な炒めモノを作りました。 天岩戸神社と天安河原に徒歩で行けるので、早朝散歩に行くと誰も居なくて神秘的でした。 総合的に建物は古いので好みは分かれると思いますが、私はお部屋もお風呂も存分に堪能させて頂きました! 次に来る際も、こちらで宿泊します。

2020/11/11-12 高千穂観光で利用させていただきました。1泊3000円と格安。 部屋に清潔な布団。 暖房はばっちり効いて暖かいし、快適に過ごせます。 室内にはTV、テーブル(座って使うタイプ)位かな。 廊下に共同で使う冷蔵庫、電子レンジあり。 あと無料でお茶セット(急須、茶碗、茶葉)もあります。 お風呂はなくシャワーのみ(⇔お湯は勢いよくふんだんに出るので、シャワーで不満はありません)。 トイレも廊下にありウォッシュレット付き。 洗濯機使用は別途500円必要。 24時間出入り可能です。 昼間は1階で建設業関係の事務所が受付。 夜間到着の際はインターフォン鳴らすと、裏の自宅から来てくれます。 また機会あれば利用したいと思います。

一軒家貸切で地元の生活を疑似体験”

一軒家まるまる一人で貸切で使用させていただきました。 ロケーションは有名な神社の近くで、飲食店やコンビニなどはありませんが車があれば不便ではありません。 スタッフの方も親切で、田舎ならではののんびりとした時間を過ごせるかと思います。 一点、冬に宿泊させていただいたのですが、屋外のお風呂とシャワーは寒すぎて使用できませんでした。 湯船にお湯を溜めても、外なので朝でも寒すぎて入れませんでした。近くに温泉などがあったら文句なしですが、何もない分時間に追われずに済みます。 窓はカギが壊れていたり、使用できなかったりで少し不安でしたが人がそもそも少ないので心配無用かも。

探訪先に徒歩圏内”

探訪先へ徒歩圏内、あいにく唯一の食事処が定休日で地元味を食味できなかったが、食料品調達出来るスーパーも近隣で助かった。受付スタッフさんの案内は気持ち良く、宿は受付向の離れのこじんまりした独立家、バストイレ付きで使い易かったが、玄関と居間兼寝室の仕切りが無いため、隙間か寒さを感じ、また3人分の掛け布団は有ったが敷布団が1人分しか無く他マットのみだけでは冬時期のクーラー暖房での調整は難しく寒さを感じながらの就寝一泊となった点は少し残念に思った。ただ、リーズナブルな宿泊施設としては利便性は高くまたリピートしたい。
