I loved the staff and the vibe of the place. Very open-minded and a nice mix. Furthermore, the staff goes far and beyond to make you feel welcome and to ease your stay. Ken Kichi always has a smile and answers all the questions you may have.

I like the setting out of the hostel. It is simple, basic and nice. The hostel has a very nice pine wood smell. It is newly refurbished which can see the original stucture at the roof. Although the location is a distance from Shirakawa-go Station, the Ant Hut provides shuttle service twice a day which are at 8.30am to Station and 5.30pm from station which is ideal for overnight stay. Besides, a hida beef restaurant is nearby where can have dinner there. I found Ant Hut is a great place for young travellers because the washroom is downstairs and rooms are upstairs. Need to access using a steep staircase.

It was an awesome trip. The owner is very friendly and very helpfull. He gave me a map, showed places to go, helped me arriving at places to go. In the two evenings I've been here we've spent time talking. I'd give this place 11/10.

The hosts were super friendly and welcoming. The guesthouse has a nostalgic flare, lots of wood, great atmosphere. We had ordered a veggie dinner and breakfast, and all was home made and good. We arrived after dark and after hours of rain on our motorbikes, and the hosts let us dry our gear in the main room which is much appreciated. // Our host also told us about the mountain road ahead which is forbidden for motorcycles. We were gutted but very happy he told us so we could plan our next day accordingly. // I would certainly stay again!

The host was very friendly and explained to us how to get around, where to eat dinner, buy breakfast and shared some hidden gems of the area. We really appreciated that he even translated all the instruction materials into our native Czech language and we had nice conversation using a translate app which worked perfect. The house is very comfy, super clean and perfect place to relax. The bed is very comfortable. Thank you very much arigato!

The absolute loveliest stay I’ve had in Japan. What a delight the hosts are - Glenda is an absolute gem and the loveliest. She used to tour around Japan as a singer! If you’re lucky enough, you can get her to sing a bit for you. Her husband is an incredibly talented chef and cooked us a huge and wonderful dinner - probably the best food I’ve had in Japan. Strong recommend!

Everything was amazing! The hosting couple were super friendly and really cared and made us feel at home. Kuni, the host, explained some folk tales as well, and the house felt like a smaller version of the houses at shirikawa-go so it really made the whole experience of visiting both places much better. Highly recommended!

Lovely accommodation and lovely host! This guesthouse was so cute and the host really went out of his way to make my stay comfortable. The kitchen is amazing and there is free tea and coffee, and if you’re not wanting to venture out for a meal there’s noodle packets and snacks for a VERY cheap price! Common area is lovely and spacious :)

*Good location, fresh air/great view *the host is very nice and friendly. He drove us to the bus stop next day so that we can save some time to wait for the bus. i was also very suprised that it is super easy to reach to the 『合掌村(Gassho Zukuri Folk Village)』by foot from bus stop. There is a high CP value barbeque restaurant nearby the guest house
