A nice guesthouse in the non-historical part of Shirakawa-Go. The room was okay, even though the walls and wardrobe showed signs of aging. There was free food (one portion per day per person), which was necessary, because the restaurants inside the village close quite early. The toilet was clean and modern. The bedding was relatively soft for a futon. It is close to the historical town, however you do have to walk a bit (10-15 minutes) to get there. Nearby there is a combini (NOT open 24/7) and a gas station. The cost was low, however I didn't travel in the peak season in winter.
The owners a re very hands-off. The culminated in me never seeing them during my stay. You do an online check-in, get notified once your room is cleaned, and then you pick up your key in a box in the kitchen. However the access to these keys is not regulated at all. The door is left unlocked and anyone could technically use you room if they arrived before you. This might be more normal in Japan, however I still found it weird. The kitchen was alright, but the naked concrete floor combined with the run-down walls gave it a bit of an unclean vibe.

Stayed only 1 night. We liked everything.
Was nice surprise that there was various food prepared for us. The shirakawa go is really very close. Nice walk.

Size of the room, easiness to check in.
1. AC unit in ‘C’ room doesn’t cool the room sufficiently. We can say that after being in Japan for 10 days and staying in several hotels.
2. Location of the share bathroom requires passing through the kitchen to reach it making this uncomfortable when people are sitting in the kitchen.
3. The guesthouse is in opposite direction to the village . On hot and humid day pulling suitcases on busy road for 15 minutes is not pleasant.
In general it is not worth to stay overnight in Shirawago since you need max 4 hours to cover all village and return back to Takayama or Kanawaza. There is luggage storage at the bus station.
