We stayed 3 nights at Magomechaya. The room was very clean and we didn't experience any problems with bed bugs (as mentioned by others). We thought the room was priced a little high for what it was, but the prices in the whole village reflect it's popularity with tourists. We stayed in a 6 mat room for two of us.... More

We really enjoyed our staying at this little minshuku in the middle of Magome Juku, which is really a hidden gem in Gifu prefecture. The building (like everything else in this little village) is very old but well maintained, the lady who runs it is from Philippines and speaks very good English. Breakfast and dinner (both of them quite generous... More

We got to our room around 7 in the evening and immediately noticed small brown bugs on the floor. We have never encountered bed bugs and it never crossed our mind that this place might be infested with them. Unfortunately all three of us got badly bitten. I am attaching a photo of my wife's leg after 48 hours. Breakfast... More

I had a great time during my stay at Magomechaya. The staff (especially the owner's wife) were very friendly, helpful, and responsive. She was very accommodating when I asked to have meals without any meat in them (i.e. pescetarian meals). Everything was clean, quiet, and peaceful. It would have been nice if there had been WiFi, but there were two... More

This Inn (Minshiku) is an acceptable place to stay - but it's fair to say that the facilities and lack of contact with staff let it down. The rooms are serviceable but a bit old - but I feel as though they need to at least upgrade the seats in the lounge - vinyl is peeling off due to age.... More

I arrived at Magomechaya on the late afternoon of April 30th wanting to spend a night there and hike to nearby Tsumago the following day. The place is centrally located and the owner's wife speaks English. I can't comment on the food as I ate elsewhere, but the restaurant where the breakfast is served is across the street from the...

We stayed here for one night and had excellent service. We do not speak Japanese but had no problem communicating. Our daughter got sick and the staff was very helpful. I can not believe reviewers are comparing this to a hostel. They clearly have not stayed at a typical hostel lately. We enjoyed having a common area and kitchen available.... More

4 of us stayed in Magomechaya for one night. We made reservation over the phone, they speak English pretty well. It was a rainy day and the room was initially pretty cold, it became very warm and cozy when we turned on the small heater. I was impressed at how well it worked, as we had to completely turn it...

We stayed at Magomechaya for 3 nights in Jan 2012 and it was cold! the town was blanketed in snow! So our problem was the cold. Despite our room having a good little heater, as there was only one other guest staying there at the time the rest of the place was not being heated so just to go to... More
