Homely gassho style house “Magoemon”
Magoemon which is built along the river located at the central area in Shirakawa-go and using the Japanese traditional architectural method – gassho-zukuri to build it up about 280 years ago.
It just take 7-8 minutes from the bus terminal on foot.
First of all, there is a “Genkan”(entrance) which is a place that you take your shoes off here and then put them on the shoe box before entering inside.
This way is not same as hotel style.
And then when you open the door in front of entrance, you see the dining place.
You could see the irori fireplace like a photo to boil water.
In addition, you could see grill fish around the irori fireplace at dinner.
Maybe now you have some questions!
How many minshuku (gassho-style inn) in Shirakawago??
The answer is 19.
A big difference between Magoemon and other minshuku is that Magoemon serves dishes one by one at dinner like ryokan style.
6 different size of tatami rooms at Magoemon.
Basic equipment like electric heater, boiler, tea set, etc. are all prepared in the room.
They also prepare the Japanese Pajama “Kimono” and towels for you.

Is it beautiful that the river covered by snow in winter when you open window in the morning?
