Hotel Analysis
Based on 2 sites · 10 reviews
Guest House Shimoze Agematsu in Ida, Japan, is a unique renovated 1600s storehouse turned Japanese house. Guests often highlight the vast bookshelves and garden for their cozy atmosphere.
Reviews repeatedly mention 'clean, fluffy futons for great sleep' and 'enjoyable self-cooking in the shared kitchen'. The garden is great for walks, and the lounge is relaxing for TV or reading.
However, dust from the books bothers some, and the owner is strict about schedules and room use, getting upset over late arrivals or checkouts.
It's suitable for couples or small groups who stick to schedules.
