I traveled for 2 weeks in Japan recently, stayed at 10 different "hotels" all over, 6 of which were Minshuku's, and I must say out of all 10, this place was the 2nd best (next to the most wonderful love hotel we accidentally found).

It was so good compared to others, in fact, that I feel compelled to write this review, my very first hotel review ever, when this establishment doesn't even have a tripadvisor page.

Reasons:
- Tourokuya is a family's house, with only 1 room they rent out as Minshuku, which meant we were treated as a house guest rather than a hotel customer, which meant the most warm and home-like service we had in all of Japan, which is how a Minshuku should be.

- Extremely large room by Japanese hotel standard, biggest one we had, bigger than Westin Miyako Kyoto.

- Futon, towels, toilet paper, shower/bath facility, toilet facility, in room details like the AC, tissue paper, all the little things were all of higher... more
