Guests Reviews

We have spent a great day by visiting Horyu-ji and going the the Kaminomaki Onsen. Thank you very much for your kindness, your help and smile, particular thank you to Nahoko and Tomomi for sharing how to wear Kimono. It was very fun and great moment. Breakfast was so delicious that we will try to do the same when we come back to our home France. :) Thank you all Yougendo staff for making our last week in Japan a wonderful moment. But the time spend too quikly. :( We have to come back. Okini!

We have really enjoyed our stay. It is very beautiful and relaxing. It has been a wonderful experience to stay in such a lovely old Japanese house that has been renovated so well. Thank you for the delicious breakfast.

Thank you for making our first experience of Japan such a memorable one! Your place is absolutely beautiful and atmospheric, and we enjoyed every moment of our stay! Everyone here is so helpful and friendly, and we really felt at home here (that also cook great breakfast!) We will definitely drop in again next time we're in Japan!

You have made a beautiful place that is wonderful to stay in. We had a lovely time in the bar and the BBQ really hit the spot after a week of nice noodles.
Best wishes for the future!

Thanks for the nice room and the lovely breakfast! Just one thing: Maybe you can offer some helmets to protect long Gaijin's heads from the ceiling. I hit my head some times :-( I'm stupid? YES!!! Thanks to all!
