OnnNakatsugawa

Great breakfast! The room was small, and only had tiny shower room. The location was great in the center of historic area.

Room was clean and spacious. Liked the yakuta. There were enough charging ports

Really appreciated the design of this place. Shoes are taken off as soon as you enter. Wonderful onsen included. Great Japanese buffet breakfast.

We stayed here before hiking the nakasendo, it was an extremely lovely hotel with a beautiful public bath. The staff were so lovely, and we much appreciated their service

Good clean hotel in excellent location for the Nakasendo trail. Close to the railway station plus many local options for lunch/dinner. Nice to have the Onsen there as well.

Wow. Gorgeous, authentic, with an included breakfast to die for.

This hotel is on the Nakasendo trail. A very unique, Japanese- styled hotel with a public bath, great breakfast and slippers provided the minute you walk in the door.

The breakfast is worth it. The room we had booked was a bit small and the windows of neighboring building look right into the room, so there wasn't much privacy unless the dark curtains were drawn. Otherwise, great place to stay on a cozy street.

Great breakfast

Lovely modern hotel, amazing staff and central location in Nakatsugawa and walking distance to the station. Perfect stay to explore Nakasendo trail. Room is compact but functional, onsen in the hotel great to unwind after a good hike. All staff I dealt with were cheerful and helpful. Highly recommend!

Enjoyable public bath, modern property, satisfactory breakfast, around an 8 minute walk from train station. What’s unusual is that you have to take off your shoes to enter the hotel from the lobby onward. This could be troublesome if you wish to change shoes during your stay (when it comes to packing your shoes in your luggage). Small perks such as free chazuke broth (rice in broth with toppings) in the evening - a pleasant evening snack.

Wonderful service and the best breakfast. Free tea and coffee available all day. Room was clean and tidy. Would recommend.

The location is very convenient, just about a 7-minute walk to both the bus stop and train station, making it easy to get around or to go to Magome. It’s 20 minutes by taxi or bus to Magome. We had to use this hotel since we did Nakasendo Trail next day , starting in Magome. The neighborhood itself is quiet, safe, and has a relaxing atmosphere—great for unwinding after a day of exploring. One thing to keep in mind is that there are limited dining options open nearby in the evening, so it’s best to plan ahead by making reservations or arranging meals through the hotel. The hotel does not provide assistance on making outside restaurants reservations. Also, the check in time is 4:00 pm,but they helped us put our 2 carry-ons inside of the room,but we couldn’t access. The room was clean and well-maintained, with fresh, crisp linens and spotless towels, though they were a bit on the thinner side. The bedding follows a more traditional Japanese style—firmer mattress and pillows—which may not suit everyone’s preference, especially if you’re used to softer options. Shoes are removed at the main entrance/lobby. Yukata is provided inside of the room to be used at the public baths. The breakfast was included, but didn’t seem to have a wide variety of options, so we skipped it. While the overall stay was comfortable and peaceful, the price felt slightly high compared to the amenities provided. That said, the cleanliness, location, and calm surroundings still made it a pleasant experience.

Wonderfully relaxing and peaceful environment with traditional yet modern feel. Super clean, lovely onsen area. Very helpful and attentive staff. Loved the evening ochazuke snack and option to purchase ice cream to enjoy in the comfort of your room after walking the Nakasendo trail.

great place!! Spa was lovely

Beautiful hotel

very nice hotel, very helpful with information about the nakasendo trail access, trains, busses, etc. great public bath!

Very nice hotel — I would definitely stay here again if I return to Nakatsugawa. The staff were kind and helpful, the breakfast was excellent, and having access to an onsen was a real plus. A very comfortable and relaxing stay.

Breakfast is excellent! One of the best ever. Can’t get enough of chestnut bread. Staff is extremely helpful We had a great staying

Brilliant stay. Location great if you’re taking or ending the Tsumago Magome walk. Walkable to train station. 7-11 nearby. Room ok in size as compared to Tokyo. Breakfast excellent local Food. Constant supply of tea/coffee n free soup I’m the afternoon. Highly recommend.
