Guesthouse Umenoya was a pleasant surprise! I got off the bus at Marine Town in Wajima and was able to walk a short distance to the guesthouse. The room was minimalist with a raised tatami platform for the futon. The room size was great for me as I am only 152 centimeters. If you are very tall it might be a very tight fit. Down the hall from my room were the shared bath and shower, immaculately clean with showering amenities. There were also a bonus tickets (one for each night of my stay) for a sento bath house a 10 minute walk away. That was great! I had a lot of fun with all the Obaasan (grandmothers). Highly recommended for a great cultural experience! The guesthouse was beautifully restored and renovated, and offered a large common-room that was set up for work/internet/meetings, also in the common room there tea, coffee, a refrigerator and microwave. There is a ramen restaurant in the front of the guesthouse. I wasn't able to try the ramen there (it was all pork based, and I don't eat pork) but they had a small chicken dish karaage which was very tasty. There are konbini around, but none are very close by. The Juzo Shrine was across the street, and I was able to get my Goshuin-cho stamped. Walking through the shrine garden will take you to the Market street, where the Morning Market is a 1,000 year old Wajima tradition. Speaking some basic Japanese will help you, but the Hostess was very adept at using translation app on her phone. I enjoyed my stay VERY much!

The host was kind and welcoming. We were just a walk away from the beach and could watch the sunset. The beds were comfortable.
