Shukubo Gokui

The inn is just beside Togakushi Chusha. It’s a really authentic Japan style inn and I like the public bath it’s spotless even it’s just both of us staying in that day. Both of the meal is super nice and warmly, me and my boyfriend enjoyed them so much! Owner is super helpful and kind to drop us at Osha, we really appreciate that! Strongly recommend and hope to stay again!

Our stay at Shukubo Gokui was incredible. So much history and spirit, and although we spoke very little Japanese we were greeted warmly by the family. Every breakfast and dinner served was so thoughtfully presented and delicious. The onsite bath is very clean and almost like a private onsen. The room was warm and comfortable, and it was magical to be in the space with the winter snow piling outside. The location cannot be any better, very near the beautiful Chusha Shrine, on the path to the other shrines in Togakushi, within walking distance to the town Onsen and ski resort, and probably one of the closest lodgings to the bus stop. The original structure is from 1815 with thoughtful updates to make the space comfortable and warm. That foreigners and visitors are allowed to stay at Shokubo Gokui that has been so thoughtfully cared for by the family for years is incredibly special, an experience we will remember for a long time. I hope we can return again.
