We stayed for 3 nights at Iori Setogawa in December. This is a luxury accommodation, and the house was big enough to accommodate 6 of us comfortably. We made our reservation directly off their website, and the photos show the house EXACTLY as it is, no touch-up. Fancy using a $150 kettle, or $400 toaster? Well, this house uses Balmuda branded kitchen appliances. There was also ample linen and yukatas for everyone. I've stayed in some so-called 5 star rental homes where you're given 1 towel per person - well, this isnt one of those. The house boasts a sauna, 2 bathtubs (one outdoor, and a japanese cypress wood bathtub indoors. We arranged to have their dining option on 2 of the 3 nights we stayed there, and the meal was wonderful. For breakfast, you have a choice of Japanese selection, or western. We tried both and were not disappointed. At check-in, a member of their staff will be available to welcome you, as well as introduce you to the house. Iori Setogawa is conveniently located in the middle of town, and everything is within walking distance. Dont be alarmed that there isnt onsite parking, there is ample FREE parking 6 minutes walk away, and Hida is SAFE to walk around at night. Try and arrive early because the roads are narrow and it might be difficult to find. Look for the canal and you’re on the right track. It’s next to Hair Salon Sepia. Shinho our host was easily accessible and responded promptly to our queries. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Iori and will definitely stay at one of their properties again.
