Really great concept of turning an old school to something useful instead of it going to waste. We loved the fact that the old character of the school was still there. The location is just 5 mins away from the main area in Magome. Staff were really attentive to your needs and more than helpful. Ayana was so kind to help us with purchasing our bus tickets to Nagoya as the website refused to be translated to English. They have gone above and beyond.

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 was my favorite hotel on this trip to Japan. Room was very comfy and had a great view from the 5th floor. Super clean and modern property. Shoes are left in lockers in reception area which keeps the carpets clean and footsteps quiet. Breakfast was included for me and there were lots of options in the buffet. Good location, about 10 minutes walking from train station and big grocery store. I used this as a base to hike sections of the Nakasendo Trail. Staff was very helpful and communicated well in English.
Nagataki is an amazing little sanctuary of preserved traditional Japanese homes. The gardens and small pathways between offer a nice area to meander in any season. The homes are extremely well kept and it truly feels like stepping back in time. The warmth of traditional woodwork and tatami offer an incredible experience. Washrooms are renovated and modern. Public bath is located steps away within the facility. Food was exceptional with myriad of unique local tastes and seasonal twists.
Magome Chaya guesthouse is right in the middle of the small town of Magome. Could not ask for a more central location. The location along with the hard working and friendly staff made for an incredible stay. We did not do dinner, but we did have breakfast. The food was simple traditional Japanese breakfast, but was very hardy, tasty and kept us going on our hike that day. If you are going to hike the trail and need a simple friendly place to stay, this is it.
The location is perfect! Magome is very special and it felt very unique sleeping here and being there at night with no tourists. The design of the hotel is also very nice. Everything worked perfectly and the staff was very kind and helped us with dinner reservations and with local recommendations. The Nakansendo trail to Tsumago was a highlight of our trip and I totally recommend spending a night/s here to do it :)
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.
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.
This place is such a beautiful old Japanese style building and the area is serene! The interior of the house is simple and aesthetically soothing. My train was canceled so the owner came to pick me up, that was super nice and the station is just 3 min walk. The place is perfect for a getaway and relaxing!
The place is fairly convenient. The room is clean and comfortable with all the amenities required for a short stay. Very polite and helpful staff, not to mention that the food is really nice! It comes with a complimentary breakfast but I had my dinner at the hotel as well and it was great.
Great location. Staying there meant that we could explore the town early in the morning and after 5 when the tourists left. A basic kitchen if you don't order meals or eat in restaurants but you need to bring food as only snack food is sold in Magome.
Friendly, efficient staff.
Great place to stay. I loved the traditional room. The bartender You was super friendly and interesting to talk to. He had lots of local recommendations and the drinks he made were fantastic. I had a great time talking to him.
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!
The lady of the house serves you dinner and breakfast, all homemade Japanese food and was very nice time. You get to eat with the other guest that’s staying also at the ryokan also for dinner and breakfast.
Our host was very accommodating, he helped us make a booking for dinner and also drove a friend who was staying elsewhere back to his hotel for a small fee - that was really appreciated.
The house was a beautiful traditional Japanese style, which was only eclipsed by how amazing the staff was. This was my favorite experience of my time in Japan.
