The pillows!! It is so hard to find good pillows in Japanese hotels and the pillows here were soooo comfy! The view from my room of the mountain range was breathtaking. The staff were very nice and the shower and bathroom facilities were super clean. The overall aesthetic of the room was traditional Japanese but with all the comfy elements.

The host was super friendly and very helpful, even when we had some additional requests. Thanks so much for all the help! The rooms were veeery spacious (converted classrooms). The shared toilet & shower facilities were also very clean and nice—overall the building interior felt very new.

It was a wonderful experience living in a property that’s about 150 years old. We had the whole property to ourselves, and the facilities provided such as the kitchen and provision of coffee was great. The owner was kind to give us a tour of the property as well.
The owner was so kind by picking us from the sakashita station!

Getting to our ryokan was a simple bus ride to the town from the train station. We were graciously greeted by the host of the ryokan. Delicious traditional dinner with many small dishes, all prepared with care. We started our hike early from Magome to Tsuamgo without many tourists which was a plus to take in the tranquility of the trail. The waterfalls along the way were impactful. Stopped for lunch in Tsumago and had cold soba with grilled fish, simple but delicious.
If you decide to take the bus back to Magome in the late afternoon, be prepared to wait, there may be a line and the bus only runs every half hour, depending on the day.

We stayed in Nakatsugawa in order to spend time walking on the Nakasendo Trail. It was a good home base for doing so!
It’s possible to take a cab or a bus to the post towns to start your walk, or to end it.
Nakatsugawa is also known for its abundant chestnut snacks and sweets which we sampled and truly enjoyed.
It was really nice to be in a part of Japan that has fewer tourists and is more quiet.

This is about Magome Juku - not Nakatsugawa.
This is about Magome Juku - not Nakatsugawa. Frankly whilst it's quaint, picturesque and reasonably true to form it's frankly a bit of a tourist trap and quite crowded. The buildings are almost all souvenir shops or restaurant / tea houses. With a few exceptions many are selling the same stuff, usually at higher prices than can be bought elsewhere. Glad we went but won't return

As previously reviewed, we are still annoyed that we had to argue at length with the staff (over half an hour) to have the sofa bed made up with linen. Their policy apparently is to only provide linen when there are 3 guests sharing the room advertised as 'Double Bed plus Sofa' and confirmed in writing via booking.com that I had booked a room with 2 beds. The hotel was demanding further payment otherwise my friend and I were expected to share the bed. They eventually agreed to make an exception. The air con unit also only had instructions in Japanese and we found it impossible to turn it down The room was very small and the aircon unit sounded all night as if we were flying in an airplane.

Nakatsugawa was a very pleasant town with an excellent shopping centre and good restaurants. Soba noodle seem to be a specialty in many. It was also a handy base for taking a bus to Magome for the Nakasendo Way walk to Tsumago and in the opposite direction to Ochiai, via the historic stone-paved 800m road.

Our primary reason for visiting was the walk from Magome to Tsumago. It's a lovely outing. Very enriching to see Japanese countryside after the big cities of central Honshu. The quality and restfulness of Iwasu-so was an unexpected delight.
Oh gosh, what a place! Nakatsugawa is such an incredible place and should be on more traveler's itineraries. I loved the ryokan stay, and this one is way more affordable than most any other place in Japan. 3 minutes walking from train station. Staff - so friendly! Free luggage storage before or after your stay. Right next to a very nice coffee shop, public transport, restaurants, and supermarkets. The lounge area is heated and super pleasant with great wifi. Free coffee/tea also. Best place to stay in Nakatsugawa, I would think.
Nagataki is an amazing little sanctuary of preserved traditional Japanese homes. The gardens and small pathways between offer a nice area to meander in any season. The homes are extremely well kept and it truly feels like stepping back in time. The warmth of traditional woodwork and tatami offer an incredible experience. Washrooms are renovated and modern. Public bath is located steps away within the facility. Food was exceptional with myriad of unique local tastes and seasonal twists.
It was truly a pleasure to stay in this 110 year old traditional Japanese house. There were no other guests at the time and we had the whole house to ourselves. The house is tastefully furnished and there is even a new trail bicycle available for guests.
The host was extremely helpful and friendly. He offered to make reservations for us at a local restaurant and even drove us (at a time that best suited us) to the trailhead for our hike at Magome.
The staff were very friendly and kind. They answered many questions for me prior to the trip! The location cannot be beat if you’re looking to hike the nakasendo. Magome is an idyllic town. We loved that there was a small kitchen and fridge to store extra food for our toddlers or prepare snacks. We loved preparing the provided tea and enjoying it in the lounge area. If you opt into the meals, they are tasty and filling!
What a fantastic stay we had!!! Keiko is a fantastic host, who cooks like a dream. Our favourite stay of our 3 weeks in Japan. The room we had was spacious and spotless. We walked to Tsumago and got the bus back so stayed 2 nights rather than doing baggage transfer. Use Nakatsugawa train station and get the bus to Magome Cannot recommend this place enough.
Beautiful hotel in a beautiful part of the town, right on the Nakasendo Trail. Convenient parking. So much charm and character and the staff were lovely and super helpful. Dinner and breakfast were both amazing - definitely recommend getting these! Very comfy futon and pillow, decent sizeroom with large cupboard for bags.
New stylishly finished hotel with warm feel. Best one I stayed so far in Japan for this price. 5 star experience for 3 star price. Onsen was excellent, complementary toiletries were excellent. Coffee was great. Just a lovely place in Central location with excellent facilities. Would stay again 100%
The place is fairly convenient. The room is clean and comfortable with all the amenities required for a short stay. Very polite and helpful staff, not to mention that the food is really nice! It comes with a complimentary breakfast but I had my dinner at the hotel as well and it was great.
The traditional Japanese guesthouse experience was unique and special. The set meals were phenomenal. The staff was terrific. The owner performed a traditional samurai song and dance after dinner that was great. Location is right on the main street of the town.
Well looked after. A business style hotel, but, as a foreign tourist visiting over new year, the staff made sure I had what I needed to do some hiking and where to eat. The onsen, a daily ritual for many domestic visitors, was a treat. Helpful and kind.
Great location, very warm and cosy. We enjoyed being able to chat with other travellers in the lounge area and during breakfast. The ability to get a meal reservation via the hotel was super helpful in this small village.
Friendly stuff , good location and affordable price .
Clean and cozy room with a tatami floor and nice smell.
The shared bathroom and toilet are clean.
Small version of a traditional Japanese fire place , so cute .
The lady of the house serves you dinner and breakfast, all homemade Japanese food and was very nice time. You get to eat with the other guest that’s staying also at the ryokan also for dinner and breakfast.
A very kind and friendly manageress who made us feel welcome; excellent bed and pillow; good space to move and also relax in the lobby. Best experience and comfort among eight hotels we used on this trip.
Our host was very accommodating, he helped us make a booking for dinner and also drove a friend who was staying elsewhere back to his hotel for a small fee - that was really appreciated.
An opportunity to experience Japanese styled communal no-frills living.
The availability of dinner at the property was a bonus as Magome is a town that starts to sleep at 5 pm.
The location is amazing to experience Magome juku. The interior is like a cute well designed and maintained hostel. Really beautiful.
If in magome this is the place to stay.
