It was a mix of Japanese and American style hotel. My room was spacious but had a tatami bed. The hotel itself felt more like an American hotel except, of course, for the soaking pools. The reason why is that the breakfasts and dinners were all buffet which is a bit different from kaseiki. Other than that, the all you can drink sake, wine and beer anytime was great. They even had a self serve soft serve ice cream machine!

This was a great place to stay for our trip to the Nakasendo. Thank you.

Excellent dinner, grate honsen, would definitely stay again

Nice room and especially loved the onsen. Wide selection of buffet food for breakfast and dinner. Accessible by taxi (around $12 from Tsmago) or bus if you can work around the limited schedule. We only wished they had walking paths around the property.

Great stay when you're planning to hike between Tsumago and Magome. Also just a great place to stay in general if you want to relax. We enjoyed a traditional japanese room. It's most suitable if you're a back sleeper. If you're a side sleeper, the mat might be

We stayed here due to limited hotel options and were not looking for a spa experience, so can't comment on that. The buffet food was OK and the rooms were clean. Fun with ping pong tables and massage chairs.

An unexpectedly good hotel. Clean. Lovely onsen - at night was special. The food was incredible. So much choice. Massage chairs and table tennis a bonus.

温泉が掛け流しでとても素晴らしい湯質でした。お部屋も広く、食事も美味しい。 毎年レギュラーです。

チェックインするとラウンジでドリンク、デザートを楽しめます。アルコールも豊富で満足しました。好みの浴衣が選べます。 お食事はメニューがとても多く美味しいです。 キッズメニューや離乳食もあり小さいお子さま連れには嬉しいです。 温泉も素晴らしくリピートしたいお宿でした。

The Taoya Hotel is exceptional. After hiking the Nakasendo trail, we enjoyed a spectacular Japanese and Western buffet. There was sake, beer, and wine included. After dinner we soaked in the onsen and relaxed our tired muscles. The onsen had a cherry blossom tree in full bloom for us to view. You should definitely go there.

Went hiking on the Nakasendo Trail. Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, as it is one of the closest and best hotels in the vicinity. Overall, it was a good experience. Staff were courteous, as usual, with the Japanese hospitality. The room is clean, but a bit tired. Could do with a renovation. Buffet is good, a wide spread of food and drinks, and the quality is good. Service staff are friendly and extremely hardworking. Except you get the same Breakfast and Dinner menu every day. I think they don't expect anyone to stay beyond 1 day. No other restaurants nearby, so you don't have much of an option.

ハナモモを見に行ったが、まだつぼみでした。妻籠宿には魅力のある店はなかった。良かったのはTAOＹA木曽だけて特にヌルっとした温泉♨️がとても良かったです。

I stayed here with my daughter and we had a wonderful time. I loved the onsen and walking around the resort and dining in our robes and slippers, so relaxing! the food was great, so many choices.

Descanso garantido

非常に素晴らしい☺

食事も美味しいく、お風呂も最高でした。 心地よいひと時をありがとございました。

It is a big hotel with lounge, fireplace and a large reception waiting area. Staff were friendly and onsens good! The buffet breakfast and dinner were great; with local selection as well as western. If you like to drink, there are beers, sake and wine too.

12月5日の15時半過ぎに女性用の大浴場のお掃除をして下さっていたボブカットのすらっとした女性の方がとても丁寧で気のつく素敵な方でした。 とても気持ちよくお風呂や洗面コーナーを利用させていただきました。ありがとうございました。

Room was great, traditional Japanese style, roomy and new. Lots of amenities, free beer, ice cream and drinks for after bath, free massage chairs and between 9:30 and midnight, free duck soba.

バイキングでしたがすごく魅力的なお料理が多くて、美味しかったです！
