Where is this ryokan/inn at? 2019/11/25 13:45
There was someone on instagram bragging about going to this ryokan/inn somewhere in Japan but she refused to tell anyone what the name of the inn was or where it is in Japan. Does anyone know where this inn is? This is a picture of the inside of the inn (not sure if this one picture is enough to identify which place this is): https://i.pinimg.com/564x/09/65/4b/09654b6ccc6c344b91490c62b61ad651.jp...

Judging from the signs on the wall, I guess it is in the Okuhida Onsen area. There are many similarly looking, great ryokan in that area, but I am not able to identify the specific one.

Sorry to say but I do think this is not a Ryokan/inn.
To many objects and it looks almost a decor, even if you google the picture you will find many references to decor but not to an actual location.

The reason she was bragging but refused to tell you where it is was because she's lying...

This is an image taken by photographer Beth Kirby and unless this instagrammer IS that photographer, you can catch her out on her lie...

Here's the link to Beth's Flickr feed with the image in question:

A bit more research suggests that this is actually most likely a guesthouse in Shirakawago.

Possibly this one: https://shirakawa-go.gr.jp/en/stay/3105/

There's a photo of it a little further down in the Flickr feed: https://www.flickr.com/photos/localmilk/20557110379/
