This was a fabulous accommodation for our family of 4. I loved our traditional tatami room. There were added perks included that were a nice surprise (complimentary beverages upon arrival, amazing corn soup!) Ophir greeted us and was an incredibly warm and welcoming presence throughout our stay. The manager of this lovely boutique hotel was very helpful and accommodating. We really feel fortunate to have stayed here.

A gem in the mountains

Stayed 2 nights to do the Nakasendo trail and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The entire place was spotless and the service was too notch. We were a bit hesitant on the shared bathrooms, however it was not a concern at all. The city of Nakatsugawa is a hidden gem and we enjoyed our stay here, can’t recommend it enough if you’re in the area!

Overall, we liked this place. It is clean and tidy. common shower and toilet is clean. The only thing is we felt we had bed bug bites. so I would recommend to the owner to improve on this part then we would have given better rating for this accommodation. A bonus surprise at this place is they provide complimentary light breakfast (eg bread, packed soup). Nice and friendly staff.

Receptionist was friendly and staff was hospitable. The hostel stay caters to hikers doing the Nakasendo trail and is close to the Nakatsugawa station. Our room, spacious for two adults , was right above the reception and lounge area so we heard a fair amount of noise during the evening but it quieted down by 9p. Women’s showers are on the 2nd fl and men’s on the 3rd. There are o ly two shower stalls for each gender but there wasn’t a wait for availability. Shower pressure was strong and adequate hot water. Overall, very clean place to stay for a night.

Good base for Kiso Valley

Good base for a stay of a few days in the Kiso Valley - including for a day walk on part of the Nakasendo trail. Just a short walk from Nakatsugawa JR station. One suggested improvement: Provide inside slippers for tourists with big feet - those provided were impossible given I take a size UK12 shoe!
