This is a great hotel. Good value for money either way great staff and spotlessly clean. The decor of the rooms is really funky, and the bath house is a real bonus too. Easy to recommend

Small onsen on the first floor which is empty in the later hours, really good and various breakfast options, USB Ports at the bed. FamilyMart, KFC, McDonalds and a big grocery store are in walkable distance. You get a free drink, which is a very friendly gesture.
Just 40 metres from restored Edo-era post town Magome-Juku, Chaya Hotel has simple traditional rooms with futon bedding and a tatami-mat floor.

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.

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

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.
This is someone's home with only two rooms available to rent, which makes the stay extremely unique and personal. I stayed two nights at the end of my hiking the Nakasendo, and just relaxed and enjoyed the traditional house. Not much in town, but the Okonomiyaki restaurant down the road was a treat, as i was welcomed by the owner and the guests and had a wonderful evening. SHIGI has only recently been renovated by the new owner, speaks great English is very helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!
A charming Japanese minshuku. English speaking staff. Clean and comfortable. Japanese dinner and breakfasts were exceptional and worth ordering. Even though it was shared bathroom there were plenty of toilets basin facilities. Location in the town was central and Magome itself is a delightful town with amazing scenery. There is a kitchen for use by guests. There is nothing open in the town after 5:30pm but the minshuku sells drinks on an honour based system.
* Truly exceptional host. Kind, genuine and made our stay unforgettable. Highlights were his excellent recommendations and going above and beyond to help us.
* Amazing decor and ambiance. It truly felt like we got to experience what it was like living in Japan in the first half of the 1900s. Cannot recommend this Guesthouse for the vibe and interior enough.
* Great location if you would like to experience a more local and authentic side of Japan.
The setting was very memorable. The guesthouse is right on the historic walking route that goes through Magome. We came to walk from Magome to Tsumago and this setting served us well. We had a room for us and a room for a couple we traveled with. The rooms are very clean and well-equipped, with a panoramic view. The owner recommended a restaurant called Haginoua that provided one of our best meals in Japan
This hotel, which is a small bus ride away from both Magome and Tsumago, makes for a very nice and practical base to visit these two towns and follow the Nakasendo trail.
The hotel provides yukatas in order to enjoy the beautiful public bath in the facility.
There is also a good Japanese breakfast (with a few westerner options on top) which is very helpful to start the day on the right foot.
My stay at Nagataki was phenomenal! The location of the hotel is truly beautiful. The staff was extremely courteous and accommodating. As we didn't have a car, they helped pick us up and get to our excursions. The food is amazing -- truly delicious dinner and breakfast which was among the best food we had during our whole trip. We are so glad we stayed here during our trip in Japan.
Guesthouse located in the heart of Magome’s historic old town. Easy to get to (by bus or taxi) from Nagatsugawa Station. Kento is a very kind host and was always available if needed; he took his time showing me the entire guesthouse. Meals not included but Kento booked me a kaiseki dinner at Haginoya (5 min walk from guesthouse) and the entire meal was top quality!
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.
We hiked from Nagiso Station to Magome Chaya for a night stay. I booked dinner through them in advance and it was excellent. I tried horse sashimi for the first time and it was pleasant. Many small-town businesses we walk through were closed so I appreciate Magome Chaya for being open. The rooms were spacious and the bed was comfy.
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.
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.
The host Keiko was so warm and inviting, and did everything to make sure we had a wonderful stay. The location and home were perfect, and the food was some of the best we’ve had in Japan. We feel so lucky to have been able to stay here.
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.
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!
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.
Really nice facility, very stylish and clean! We liked the public baths and the breakfast, which was a mix of Japanese and Western foods. Also, the staff were very nice and did speak a bit of English.
Great location for all services.
Receptiin and bar staff helpful and friendly.
Bonus was the Japanese evening meeting with locals and enjoying conversation with interesting locals.
Location was a little further than expected from train station(2kms - some up hill). With lots of luggage suggest take taxi. Good eating facilities (restruant) very close to hotel.
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.
