Halfway between a compact and modern business hotel and a ryokan experience! Barefoot hotel, hence interesting experience for kids. Western breakfast items on the buffet was helpful for us as vegetarians travelling with 2 children. All modern amenities avbl. Has a "bathhouse" if you want the experience. Excellent choice for exploring the Nakasendo trail.

It was in an old town. Peaceful and quiet. The house itself was unique as it operates as a cafe during the day.

I really enjoyed our stay at Magome. We hired a car and drove from Tokyo to Osaka via the mountains, and decided to stay here as a one-night stay. I really wish we stayed longer. The staff are really friendly, and when we were there, it was super quiet and relaxing. The view of the mountain ranges from the window was really cool. The repurposed school is a funky idea, but the reality was an incredibly spacious stay (especially for Japan standards), and incredibly homely vibes. Big, wide hallways and creature comforts. A real communal feeling. We stayed in the twin bedroom as we're a family, and we were really happy with it.
I'll also mention how friendly the staff were. They really enjoyed hanging out with us and interacting with our 2-year old. They even sat and did origami with us until late at night.

Loved my stay at the Ryokan O. It felt like an authentic Ryokan, but with soundproof rooms, I didn't hear the other guests at all. The shared bathrooms were immaculately clean. Staff are friendly, and there's a lovely reception area to hang out in. The location is extremely convenient, close to bus stop and train 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.
Firstly, the small town Nakatsugawa is a great place to explore the Nakasendo Way, and the Ryokan O is perfectly situated near the rail and bus stations, and a large supermarket. That it is a ryokan gives it a very appropriate vibe for this historic region. The rooms are a good size and the mattresses comfortable. The share facilities were clean and well maintained, and we never had a problem with access. It was also a great place to swap stories and tips with other travellers in the generous dining / common room.
The Japanese style tatamirooms are very comfortable and clean. You sleep on a futon and can use the yukata for sleeping, going to the restaurant or relaxing in your room and the hotel. The hotel is in the middle of Magome Juku and is run by nice people. If you stay here, definitely order the dinner set meal and breakfast set meal beforehand. It adds perfectly to the stay and the food is very delicious. The extra price you pay for the food is definitely worth it and good price and quality for value.
On of the best stay we have in Japan, very clean room, bathroom, bathroom
Everything is simple yet wonderful
Great location in this small town
Highly recommend for you that need clean moderen ryokan house
Bathroom dan toilet is sharing, but not a together bathroom so if you cannot bath with other person together, this place is perfect. Because other ryokan usually have bathroom that take bath together.
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.
A spacious and beautifully decorated Japanese-style room. Meals at the level of Michelin stars. The food is delicious to the mouth and to the eyes as well. A welcoming hostess. Breathtaking view. What else does a person need to have fun? We really enjoyed staying here.
Spacious apartment with our own kitchen and extremely comfortable futons (best of our trip by far!). Though there is no food available there, they were proactive in making us a dinner reservation in town. Host even hand delivered our luggage to our next hotel in Tsumago.
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.
It was great staying in a traditional Japanese home from the 1600's. Dinner and breakfast were served to our "house" and the onsen was great as well. It is nice spending some time away from a city or town. You are surrounded by nature!
The hotel looks like a beautiful little village for preservation. We slept in a small house that is over 150 years old. The staff is lovely, always looking for ways to help. Dinner and breakfast were works of art.
Modern and stylish hotel in the heart of Nakatsugawa. Very nice Onsen.
Good breakfast buffet. Good free coffe in the lobby.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Good base for walking on the Nakasendo or to Atera Valley.
Incredible location, the guesthouse is small (only a few rooms) which makes it a very peaceful and relaxing place. The hotel stuff was very helpful, the room was super cozy and clean. Definitely would recommend!
I really enjoyed my stay here, its normal old-style japanese family house so staying here was unique experience different from hotels. Also owner was very friendly and even drove me to the supermarket :-)
We were in Nakatsugawa for only one night. This hotel was located close to the station and was of very good value. Given the shared toilet, we were very happy that the hotel was very clean and neat.
Beautiful hotel located in the heart of Nakatsugawa. Very modern feel, minimalist, but cozy. My room was spacious, with a nice view on the town. Breakfast was varied and tasty.
Very unique property with central Japanese garden. Great for a large group. The surrounding neighborhood is very traditional; part of the old Nakasendo trail.
