Ryokans in Nagiso

Amazing place to stay! They only book one group at a time so you have a private residence all to yourself! The inn is nestled in a forest next to a river and waterfall so very picturesque. The best feature though is the Kaiseki meals they prepare just for your group. The chef is trained in french cuisine but made a wonderful japanese dinner for us. I would highly recommend this ryokan if you want an authentic experience in a beautiful setting. The private onsen was also a great feature. They'll also pick you up and take you to your departure point e.g. train station.

Really nice place. Attentive staff, terrific meals, beautiful location, nice onsen. Great experience to lie in the outdoor pools and gaze at the stars.

Amazing typical Japanese ryokan but very modern and luxurious. Amenities were great especially the onsen (natural bath) with an outside one very great. Food buffet was also very premium for diner and breakfast. Easy to access by bus or car, they also organize shuttle bus. Really recommend.

I gave it a 10. This is so different. in the middle of nowhere. No connections. This basic traditional locational. Bring your own food. Very good onsen tag the close by hotel. we loved it

Everything. It’s worn out and you can see and feel the age, but at the same time it has its vibe. It’s like time travel, but as in most places in Japan people just do their best to make you feel good and welcome. The onsen is good and clean. The location next to Atera valley is perfect, especially in the middle of summer.

This accommodation is 400 years old and managed by the 15th generation now. The history is very special. Even the formal emperor staid at this accommodation. You can really experience the authentic Japanese life. Food was delicious, the best food we had in Japan untill now. We hear that the chef build his cooking skills at a Michelin star restaurant and that is what you see and taste at the food. When we arrived we were (as both having back problems) worried about the traditions futon beds, but this was no problem at all! Nice to do from here is the Nakasendo walk from Magome to Tsumago. The hotel helped us with a useful map and arrange a transfer for us to the starting point.

Very conveniently located, just about 3-4 minutes walk from Nakatsugawa station. The staff at the reception are very friendly and helpful. It is a Japanese style Ryokan, the rooms are very beautiful, spacious and clean. The shower and toilet facilities are shared but everything is clean and plentiful amenities are available. I had read some reviews about the place being noisy and I was a bit worried about that but during my stay I did not experience any such problems. Lots of restaurants and convenience stores are there at walking distance.

Food is perfect, staff is kindness and helpful, nice and clean

Excellent hospitality, elaborate dinner, great place to spend a quiet weekend.

This is a quaint and beautiful property in stargazing village Aichi. If you arrive before 5pm you can have welcome drinks at the lobby. The dinner is unique with Salmon and Horsemeat Sashimi, coal BBQ with scallops, Unagi, prawns, fish, shabu shabu sukiyaki style with marbled wagyu beef that is thinly sliced (melts in your mouth) and lots of fresh vegetables. The sesame tofu with jellified soup was unique. We enjoyed the dinner very much - extremely generous portions - they made the salmon corn rice dish into onigiris so we could pack back to the room because we could not finish. There is a small and very clean onsen in the hotel, the girls and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The hotel room had Japanese style robes that you could wear for dinner and throughout the hotel. It was very comfortable and an enjoyable experience. Breakfast was again impressive. Western style breakfast was sliced potato gratin with sausages and tomato or garlic ranch sauce served with 3 types of bread with margarine and apple jam (white, wheat and tomato bun). The bread was served warm. The Japanese style breakfast came with a bucket of warm Japanese fluffy rice, and a basket of condiments like seaweed, preserved vegetables and plums, lotus, scrambled eggs. There was some hot soup and tea that you can pour over rice. They also served us freshly hand ground coffee and some matcha. The kids had apple juice. At 9pm there is a complimentary stargazing opportunity - Hama-san was very friendly, showing us the different constellations and setting up the telescope to show us the moon and Saturn with its rings. The night we were there 8 Sep 9pm there was a super full bright moon, so it outshone the stars. Despite that we still saw Vega, Ursa Major and Scheat a star in Pegasus (a red giant). When I woke up in the middle of the night to use the washroom - I saw Orion’s Belt and Sirius in Canis Major. The kids enjoyed the glamping room, which had up to 6 beds.
