Minshuku Goyomon

Twelve rooms make up Minshuku Goyomon, a traditional family-run guesthouse in Aikura, Nanto — a rural Toyama valley roughly 60km southeast of Kanazawa, suited to travellers seeking a quiet base near the Gokayama UNESCO World Heritage gassho-zukuri farmhouses.

Breakfast is included and served at the inn; family rooms accommodate groups travelling together. Free parking handles the mountain driving that most guests rely on to reach surrounding villages and passes.

Check-in opens at 15:00 and check-out is 10:00. The Gokayama hamlets of Suganuma and Ainokura sit within a short drive, placing Goyomon on the natural overnight corridor between Kanazawa and Shirakawa-go.
